Seeing a spider scurry across your floor or ceiling can give anyone the creeps. But before you grab a shoe to squash it, consider that it may be a harmless house spider. Common house spiders have the following key traits:
- Brown or gray with various markings and patterns on their bodies
- They have a slightly rounded abdomen and measure around 1/8 to 3/8 inches in length
- Males tend to be smaller and slimmer compared to the larger-bodied females.
- The Cellar Spider (a.k.a. Daddy Long Legs) falls under this umbrella.
They are non-aggressive and rarely bite humans. If they do, the bites are usually painless and pose no significant threat. Common house spiders feed on various small insects, helping control their populations indoors.
