Usually, that's not the case.
Mike CarruthersHOST
According to the experts at the Burke Museum, most spiders inside your house are adapted to living indoors and may spend their entire lives in or around buildings.
Mike CarruthersHOST
And when you suddenly notice more larger spiders wandering around in, say, late summer or early fall, many are mature males roaming around looking for female spiders.
Mike CarruthersHOST
In fact, the museum estimates that fewer than 5% of the spiders you see indoors have ever been outdoors at all.
