Physical Appearance
Small spiders with very long, thin legs and tiny pale or gray bodies. They are often mistaken for “daddy longlegs” and are usually seen hanging upside down in loose webs.
Common Locations
Cellar spiders prefer dark, quiet areas such as basements, crawl spaces, garages, and corners of ceilings where they can build irregular webs.
Why They're a Problem
Cellar spiders are not dangerous to people, but their webs can accumulate quickly and create messy corners throughout the home. Left alone, those quiet corners can turn into constant web buildup.
