Where Huntsman Spiders Live
Huntsman spiders typically live in warm, sheltered areas. In homes, you may find them:
- Behind furniture or on walls and ceilings
- Inside sheds, garages, or basements
- Beneath loose bark on trees, under rocks, or in crevices outdoors
They often enter homes seeking shelter or prey, especially during warmer months.
Where Funnel-Web Spiders Live
Funnel-web spiders prefer moist, sheltered environments and are commonly found:
- In burrows with silk-lined funnels at the entrance, often under rocks, logs, or debris
- In gardens or under thick vegetation
- Around houses in damp areas like basements, garages, or outdoor storage spaces
They are more active at night and often hide during the day, making burrow entrances their primary location.
Tips to Protect Your Home from These Spiders
- Seal Entry Points: Close cracks and gaps in windows, doors, and walls to prevent spiders from entering.
- Clear Clutter: Keep indoor and outdoor areas free of clutter where spiders might hide.
- Remove Debris: Clear away rocks, woodpiles, and leaf litter from around your home’s foundation.
- Regular Inspections: Check for spider webs and burrows in areas where these spiders are commonly found.
- Use Sticky Traps: Place traps in known spider hotspots to capture them.
Regularly inspecting and tidying up these areas reduces the likelihood of encounters with huntsman and funnel-web spiders.
