If you carefully look in the corners of your home, inside and out you will most likely see cobwebs and spiders. Spiders in Aiken come inside your home looking for shelter and food. They spin webs to use as nets to catch their food. Unfortunately, your house is the perfect environment for them. Your home lacks the elements, such as rain and wind, that can so easily destroy their hard work.

If the web is not profitable or it the environment becomes compromised, they will abandon their webs.
