Jumping spiders are compact, fuzzy spiders you’ll often spot on walls, windows, ceilings, or outdoor furniture. Many species have bright or iridescent coloring and large forward-facing eyes that give them a curious, almost alert appearance. Unlike web-building spiders, jumping spiders actively hunt. They stalk insects and leap to capture prey, which is how they earned their name.

Outdoors, jumping spiders play a helpful role by feeding on nuisance insects. Inside your home, they’re usually a sign that other bugs are present and providing a food source. If you’re seeing jumping spiders indoors, it often means small insects are slipping inside through cracks, gaps, or doorways.

Professional jumping spider control focuses on removing what attracts them in the first place. BRD Pest Solutions treatments target the insects spiders feed on, seal common entry points, and create a protective barrier around your home. The result is fewer spiders inside and a pest environment that stays where it belongs… outside.

If jumping spiders are showing up around your home, early treatment helps prevent larger pest activity and keeps your living space comfortable and spider-free.

Jumping Spider FAQs

Are jumping spiders dangerous to humans?

Jumping spiders are not considered dangerous. They’re shy hunters that prefer to avoid people, and bites are rare. Most homeowners are simply uncomfortable seeing spiders indoors rather than facing any real safety risk.

Why am I seeing jumping spiders inside my home?

Jumping spiders usually enter homes because they’re following insects. If small bugs are getting inside through cracks or door gaps, spiders will too. Seeing them indoors often signals an available food source.

How do I keep jumping spiders out of my house?

Prevention starts with reducing insect activity and sealing entry points. Professional pest control treatments target the bugs spiders feed on while creating a protective barrier that helps keep spiders outside where they belong.
