Most spiders that travel indoors do so because of weather conditions. When it begins to get cold in the fall and winter, spiders begin looking for a warmer place to hide. They are often found in dark corners of basements, attics, crawlspaces, and garages. If you notice a large number of spiders in your home, it could indicate additional pest problems. 

 

Spiders will bite if they feel threatened; however, spiders commonly found in the Okanagan area are generally not dangerous to humans.

The exceptions are the Brown Recluse Spider, the Black Widow Spider and the Hobo Spider. If you are bitten by one of these spiders, seek immediate medical attention.
