Is your smoke alarm going off even though there's no smoke or fire to trigger it? ... Oregon and Washington spider control experts share that the light within smoke detectors may attract spiders. When a spider crawls over the ionization sensor, the alarm thinks it senses smoke and sounds the alarm. This unusual occurrence is getting worse, happening around the country, and sometimes at the most inconvenience times of the night, causing people nightmares and pure horror.
Spiders are the most feared creature in the world, so many people are very hesitant to check out their smoke detector now for fear of finding eight legged, eight eyed, hairy creeps with fangs and venom.

Since spiders are drawn to detectors, there could be multiple of them. Or a mother giving birth is something not to unlikely, because they lay hundreds of eggs and the smoke detector draws them like a magnet. Hence, it would be an ideal place for a pregnant mother to create a nest.
Anyhow, there was a creepy noisy smoke
alarm today that went off.
Everybody had to exit the building. None of the staff or anyone had a clue what the cause was.
I'd bet it was precisely what my gut says it was.
