Why Am I Seeing So Many Spiders in My Pool Cage Lately? Here's the Real Reason.

Have you been wondering, "Why do I suddenly have spiders in my pool cage?" You're not alone. Customers across Southwest, Central, and South Florida are seeing webs pop up almost overnight.

The short answer: Hurricane Ian.

🌪️ The Hurricane Effect

Before Hurricane Ian hit, spider activity around pool cages was relatively low. But when Ian stalled over Florida and dumped historic amounts of rain, standing water became abundant—a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, no-see-ums (biting midges), and gnats.

The insect population exploded, creating a massive new food source for spiders. And like clockwork, spiders responded.

🕷️ Spiders Follow the Food

Spiders are nature's pest control agents. When mosquitoes and no-see-ums thrived, spiders moved into the most convenient spot: your pool cage.

Pool cages offer shade, humidity, and prime web-building corners. To a spider, it’s ideal real estate.

⚠️ Torn Screens Make It Worse—But Aren’t the Only Cause

Damaged or old screens make it easier for insects (and the spiders chasing them) to get inside. But even homes with intact screens are seeing more spiders. The sheer volume of insects is too large to keep out completely, and once a few sneak in, spiders follow quickly.

✅ What You Can Do

Removal is the first step. Our fast, thorough, and safe spider removal is tailored for Florida conditions. To keep spiders from returning:

• Fix or replace torn screens
• Schedule regular maintenance and cleaning
• Control the insect population (inside and outside your pool cage)
• Seal entry points spiders might be using

Our team not only removes spiders but also provides actionable tips to prevent their return.

Hurricane Ian changed Florida’s ecosystem in a very real way. With more storms likely, this could be the new normal. But the good news is: there’s a solution.
