Common (Harmless) House Spiders
House spiders, wolf spiders, and cellar spiders are the ones you’ll see most often. Wolf spiders in particular look intimidating, large, hairy, and fast-moving, but they’re not dangerous and are actually useful to have around, since they hunt other insects.

The Two to Actually Worry About
Why Am I Suddenly Seeing More Spiders?
A spider problem is sometimes actually a sign of a different pest problem. They’re indoors chasing food, usually other insects. Texas’ warm climate keeps them active nearly all year, though sightings typically pick up in fall as they look for a way inside.
