Cellar Spiders

General Description
These spiders are sometimes called “daddy long-legs” because of their long, delicate legs. Their tiny bodies are usually no more than one-fourth of an inch long. Cellar Spiders are most often seen hanging upside down in sheet-like or irregularly-shaped webs in corners of the ceiling or floor. The webs can quickly accumulate and become unsightly nuisances in cellars, basements and commercial buildings such as warehouses.

General Control
These spiders are harmless. They can be dispatched by vacuuming since they are slow-moving and delicate in nature. Smashing them with fly swatters, shoes, newspapers and tissues is also effective.
