American house spider habitat.
American house spiders created a tangled web or cobweb in random locations. If the chosen location does not provide any food then it will leave it and make a new one in another location. Usually, these webs can be found under or behind furniture, upper corners of rooms, closets, basements, crawlspaces, corners of windows and other places they feel safe.
