Why? Reports of spiders invading the Tucson area abc15
TUCSON — Things are already getting spooky this October. The word is going around that spiders are invading the Tucson area.Just around Matt Dunkel’s home, he’s found five spiders. Around his Oro Valley neighborhood, he’s found three.He's been seeing them pop up over the past few weeks.
“Now we’ve just been seeing them everywhere so it’s been really kind of neat to see all the little friends just kind of hanging out in all the little different hotspots of the neighborhood,” said Dunkel.“They’re doing a job, they’re taking care of all the little bugs that can bother us and get icky. And what’s been cool is I’ve been able to take not only our daughter, but our son, who’s almost going to be five, and show him all the little cool things about how they build this web,” he said.
“The reason you’re going to see it that way is because they like to catch flying insects that aren’t going to be aware of their web as they’re passing through,” said Vague.“Some of the different storm systems that we’ve had has actually caused an increase in the population of things that they would feed on, things that spiders would normally prey. And with that being said, anytime you have an increased food source and an increased water source, you’re going to produce more.
If you’ve recently started seeing spiders like orb weavers, Vague said there’s no need to worry because they’re actually harmless. But many spiders could mean it’s time to call pest control because they tend to go where they can find the most food.
