Why do spiders like chilling in my bathroom?

I don’t know, but I have some educated guesses:

1) Multiple ways in, due to multiple things with pipe-holes, which may be how they get in there. For example, I have seen crawly things emerge from sink and bathtub/shower drains.

2) Access to water.

3) Access to smelly things that may be edible.

4) Crawly things may also get into sinks and bathtubs and then get stuck there, due to steep slippery sides.

5) Spiders in particular may be there for the other bugs that like the bathroom, since they trap and eat bugs.

Likely it’s because of the humidity and because it’s a water source.

There are plenty of pipes that come into your apt. via the wall. Lots of easy access for creepy-crawlies!

They like to hang out where the smaller bugs are, for the easy snack.
You may have issues.

May simply be easier to spot them there.

Bottom line there must be an abundant food source for them to weave a web and call that spot home.

According to this, it is because houses are dry, and they need to drink.

Moisture, light, and consistent warmth.

All the bugs that enter your apartment are eventually attracted by those 3 things and the spiders feed on the bugs.

Yes, I’d have said moisture/water too and the potential to catch other bugs that find the same environment hospitable. Once I was showering and looked up to see a giant preying mantis hanging off the shower. haha
Living in an area with lots of pacific tree frogs, I would often find little tree frogs in the bath tub/shower. Right now, I have some sort of weird little miniature moth or fly thingy that lives in the over flow drain hole of one of the basins in my bathroom.

There were two but one got swooshed away. This thing has been alive in my bathroom for about 3 months now, I have no idea how it is surviving.

I have these things popping up in my place, usually they get stuck in the sink or tub. I know we have one when my wife shrieks and yells my name.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Haha….maybe you can capitalize on your wifes screaming, invent a centipede alert system and use her voice. lol

Those are my most detested bugs, @ARE_you_kidding_me!
Zombie dust bunnies.

@ARE_you_kidding_me
Man! You made me drop my phone!
I Hate those things. Whhooooo.
I know they eat bugs and spiders- (I put those outside)
But these!?!?!?
They scare me to death! They are too fast!
Now it’ll be twenty minutes to chill without shuddering.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Yeah I’ve seen one emerge from bath drain before.

Here’s your wife and I see them, @ARE_you_kidding_me.

Once I get to where she is I usually hear my name again followed by “kiiill iit!” as she points in the general direction.

Perhaps for the same reason lions hang out near water holes. My question when the spiders prowl my kitchen at 3 AM is always “I wonder what it is that guy finds to eat in my house?”

@ARE_you_kidding_me House centipedes are predators, as spiders are. They’re there for the same reason that spiders are there – to catch the littler guys you never or rarely see.

@stanleybmanly Oh, I’m sure there are many tiny visitors roaming our houses at night. What we don’t know can’t hurt us. haha

You may have mites or roaches, or ants or termites in your bathroom. These are bugs that common like most areas. So it means food for the spiders. Also if you live in a tropicalarea where there are crickets, or earwigs, centipedes, silverfish, than they may make tasty meals as well. I would check for mites first. They are pretty common in bathrooms and hard to find. Some are so small they look like dust. Disinfect the heck out of your bathroom. Check under your cabinets for moist spots and fix any possible leaks and dry it completely out. Use some water in bleach and clean your whole bathroom from top to bottom to make sure there isn’t a mite that can live anywhere.
This should keep them out for a while.

@ARE_you_kidding_me That centipede your wife hates so much is really beneficial because it too is a predator (eats other bugs)...

It’s beneficial as long as she doesn’t step on it, of course. Ha!
