The Habitat of Hobo Spiders

This poisonous spider is very common in Salt Lake County homes. One way to identify a hobo spider is to see the "funnel shaped" webs they make around your house. They usually form webs in basements and main levels because they are not very good climbers. The male spider will often wonder into bathrooms and try to climb porcelain but they fall into sinks, showers, or toilets. Hobos prefer cracks and crevices to support the webs to catch their pray. Areas where hobos like to hide are:
Outside the home
rock retaining walls
concrete
hard soil with cracks
window wells
woodpiles
bricks
Inside dwelling areas include:
cardboard boxes
storage room items
windows sills
behind furniture
closets

Utah Cockroaches

The two most common types of cockroaches found in Utah are American and German Cockroach. The reason why the Oriental Cockroach is not found in Utah is because they live in more humid temperatures. The cool dry temperature of Utah will attract these nasty pests. The lifespan of a typical cockroach lasts 200+ days (this is much longer than a typical house mouse). The female will lay roughly 40 eggs each season. Key areas to check your home to see if they are invading is anywhere with pipes (under sinks) and anywhere with food (kitchens and storage room).
