Jumping spiders are small, agile spiders recognized by their excellent vision, active hunting behavior, and ability to jump long distances. Unlike many spiders that rely on webs to catch prey, jumping spiders actively search for and pursue small insects.

They are often found around windows, walls, siding, patios, and other areas where insects are present. While they are generally not considered dangerous to people and rarely bite, their presence indoors can still be unsettling and become a nuisance.

They can also be beneficial outdoors because they help naturally control other insects. Proper exclusion, reducing insect activity, and professional pest control can help reduce their presence around homes and businesses.

WHERE THEY LIVE

Indoors, under slabs, in wood, in soil, and in wall voids.

WHAT THEY EAT

Sugars, proteins, grease, and other food sources.

SIGNS OF INFESTATION

Visible trails, wood damage, small mounds in lawns, and food contamination.
