Comment on I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌

Spiders are great to have in your house. I’ve got big house centipedes too. The poor pest control guy doesn’t get a penny off of me. No termites, no silverfish, earwigs…etc. Sometimes I get ants in the kitchen, but that is easily controlled with some cleaning and cinnamon.
Seriously, those spiders are doing you a favor. Let them do their thing.

I forced my parents to stop wasting money and pumping their yard full of chemicals about 5 years ago. They went from being inundated with mosquitoes and stinkbugs (and absolutely nothing else) to now having what feels like every species of orbweaver under the sun amongst several other spood types, and lizards, and bees, and beetles; it's glorious.
Now that my 8-legged freaks are back in town, though, the mosquitoes and stinkbugs are down to 1/3rd of what they were before. In fact, I've barely seen any and a few of the Joro spiders around here are FAT. Abdomens the size of my thumb!
