Identifying and Eliminating Hobo Spiders this Fall
Whether you enjoy the color change in the leaves, the reduced temperature, or the calm before the holidays, fall is a beautiful time of the year. Unfortunately, the fall season also means that there are a lot of critters that want to find their way into your home. Hobo spiders in Utah aren’t specifically looking for a way inside.
