The Spiders Were Here First

Did you know that 7-foot long marine animals that lived about 480 million years ago were the ancestors of the modern-day spider? Since these creatures evolved 300 million years ago, they were among the first to set foot on this planet – long before the dinosaurs and humans. This explains why ousting them from our houses can become a herculean task.

Most people assume that spiders get inside through the plumbing system since they’re often spotted in tubs and sinks. However, spiders don’t migrate into a home through plumbing because modern drains have sediment traps that would keep them from passing. They just get stuck in slick-sided porcelain tubs and sinks while they’re searching for water that’s why we often see them there.
