The common house spider, native to South America, now thrives across the contiguous United States and into southern Canada, often hitchhiking in plants. These spiders frequently live near humans, making them a common indoor presence. Belonging to a family of spiders known for abandoning their webs to build new ones nearby, their deserted webs gather dust, forming the cobwebs we often see if not regularly cleaned.

After completing this course, you should be able to identify spiders that are common in and around structures, recognize which spiders are medically important, and know the different approaches to managing spiders that wander or build webs.
