Spiders are a common presence in many homes across the East Bay, ranging from harmless house spiders to more concerning species like black widows and brown recluses. These eight-legged arachnids favor dark, secluded areas such as basements, attics, and garages. While many spiders help control other pest populations, some can pose significant health risks. Their presence can make homes uncomfortable, particularly for those with arachnophobia.
