After catching flying insects like bees and flies in their webs, they paralyze their prey by injecting them with venom before eating. This venom is harmless to humans.

On average, the garden spider lifespan is one year, dying if there is a frost or the weather gets too cold. If residing in a warmer climate, it is possible for these spiders to live for up to three years.

If you want to get rid of garden spiders naturally, you can sprinkle cinnamon or plant onions in the areas where they live outside, as they hate the smell. Treating with insecticide both outside and inside your home can also help prevent garden spiders from moving in.

If your garden spider infestation continues, contact Stark Exterminators for a professional pest control plan.
