water damage to siding and bugs (spiders)

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

a month ago we found some bad siding. so we had guys come out to fix it and it turned out to be a rather extensive rot problem on the lower portion of our house. the rot had even got into some support beams that had to be replaced. so that's all fixed and fine now.

but there has been a surge in spider activity since it was fixed. not on the same floor necessarily (the siding effected mainfloor and basement but not third story, we're seeing them everywhere) as where the majority of the siding was fixed/replaced.. but is this probably a result of that or something else?


we were thinking maybe the rot attracted bugs and they were eating the bugs and now it's fixed so they're roaming the house in search of prey?


or is it spider season already? we went from seeing very few to having encounters with 3 or 4 a day sometimes more.


Or is this a sign something else might be wrong somewhere?
