Spiders
Persistent Biters That Thrive Around You
Mosquitoes are small, flying insects that feed on human blood and breed in standing water. In Oman’s warm and humid climate, especially in places like Muscat, Salalah, and Sohar, mosquito activity increases during and after rainfall. They hide in shaded areas, drains, gardens, and indoor corners, becoming most active around dawn and dusk. Their bites cause itching and discomfort, and some species can transmit diseases, making mosquito control an important health measure.
Are Spiders Common in Oman?
Yes. Spiders are commonly found throughout Oman, especially in homes, gardens, warehouses, and storage facilities. While most spiders are harmless and even help by feeding on other pests, some species can deliver painful bites or trigger fear and discomfort. Their presence increases in cluttered or undisturbed areas.
What Attracts Spiders?
Spiders are attracted to dark, quiet spaces and a steady supply of insects. In Oman, the most common causes of spider activity include:
Cluttered corners, boxes, or storage rooms
Gaps in windows, vents, or door frames
Insect infestations that serve as prey
Outdoor lighting that attracts flying insects
Piles of wood, stones, or garden debris
How to Identify Spider Activity
Signs include visible webs in corners, windows, or ceilings, especially in unused rooms or storage spaces. You may also spot egg sacs or occasional spider sightings. Some species build large webs outdoors, while others hide in cracks and crevices.
