House spiders feed on other small insects and are not typically a threat to humans. Though they are not deemed harmful their presence is typically unwelcomed. House spiders are not particular to their original web and will create multiple webs throughout homes. This can cause homeowners to be alerted to a spider threat that is not quite as sever as may be depicted. 

House spider’s webs are commonly found attached to baseboards, wall corners, basements and crawl spaces. They prefer dark areas that provide shelter and some have a preference for moist areas as well. While they can be found outside most house spiders will live their entire life indoors.
