What Is a Cellar Spider?
Cellar spiders, or daddy long legs, are classified as Phocidae arachnids. Their intimidating, long appearance is daunting, but you don’t have to worry about a cellar spider bite, as they are harmless. Cellar spiders prey on other types of pesky insects, including mosquitoes and flies. Unfortunately, they can be quite alarming when they invade your home.
Cellar Spider Identification
A long-legged cellar spider is easy to spot. Cellar spiders are small to medium-sized, with pear-shaped, pale, or light brown bodies spanning two to ten millimeters. They also have spinnerets at the rear of their abdomen. They are often found hanging upside-down from their loosely constructed, irregular webs woven in dark, secluded areas.
Cellar Spider Behavior
Cellar spiders spend most of their time in their webs, waiting for their prey to become tangled. One of the unique characteristics of cellar spiders is their intense vibrational shaking behavior that is triggered when faced with a potential predator. This movement blurs the spider’s body, helping them escape their predators.
Cellar Spider Prey
Having a few cellar spiders pop up in your home is actually advantageous. Cellar spiders are predators to many of the common pests homeowners in Northern Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin, face. These common pests include:
- Flying insects, such as mosquitoes, flies, and moths
- Crawling insects, such as beetles, ants, and roaches
- Other smaller species of arachnids including the brown recluse
- Sap-feeding insects
Cellar Spider Habitats
Cellar spiders in houses are common. Cellar spiders prefer dark, cool habitats where they can easily create webs and capture their prey, including:
- Basements and cellars
- Crawl spaces
- Barns and sheds
- Garages
- Attics
- Outdoor in gardens or bushes
- Dark crevices and corners
How to Prevent a Cellar Spider Infestation
Cellar spiders can be beneficial in controlling other more concerning pests. However, to keep your cellar spider guests to a minimum, we recommend the following:
- Reduce humidity levels in your home.
- Seal entry points.
- Dust room corners to remove webs.
- Eliminate their prey.

Here’s What Some Satisfied Customers Have to Say
Schopen was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and they accommodated a change in my
schedule. Luke arrived 10 minutes early and got right to diagnosing the issue. The source of the tiny
critters was found and treated. What a relief! I could not be more pleased with a company and the
service. (Office staff on the phone Kimm and Kiara were professional and helpful.) Thank you!!!
Everyone I dealt with was EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Pricing was fair. And best of all-my ants are
gone.
The guy called at the beginning of the time frame window and told me when he would be coming. It
is so nice to get a courtesy call when you have pets and kids. He was efficient and took care of what
we needed.
Kevin did an excellent professional job with the required inspection. We then hired him to treat our
home for spiders. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient.
We hired Schopen to deal with mice we began seeing recently. They were on time, and the Tech Corey was super awesome! He was very informative and explained everything. Listened to our concerns and gave good information back. He found potential entry points and filled them. We had hired a different company before them and wasn't satisfied. Corey went behind them and found some things the other company should have. We have already noticed that there is barely any activity. best part of it, they don't try to lock you into a contract like most pest control companies do, They let you decide what you are comfortable with.
This customer rated you highly for professionalism, responsiveness, and work quality.
This company was very responsive. Once they arrived at my house the workers were very friendly, explained the situation, and how follow up consultations worked. After the first and second follow up visit the company called to see if we had any other questions. Which was very thoughtful.
