I like spirderbros.
I would give my life savings for something that eradicates them from my apartment 😌

We have no guarantee that you are human, you could be a spider on the internet spreading pro-Spider sentiment!

Why? Spiders are awesome. They take care of any other bugs, and generally mind their own business.

Humans like to kill things, until there is nothing left to kill but ourselves.

Relax kiddos. They’re looking for bugs, not your bloated ass. Leave em alone for christ sakes…
Unless you live in Australia then I’m pretty sure they’re hunting you.

Just chiming in to represent the small minority of people who strongly dislike spiders in our houses
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 month ago
But spiders in your house get rid of spiders in your house. So, if there were no spiders in your house then you’d get so many spiders in your house.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
it entirely depends on size and species, but primarily size
under 5mm legspan? could not give less of a fuck, try not to accidentally get quished and godspeed 🫡
Larger than that? best fucking be a jumping spider, or an orb weaver sitting on the outside of the window.

I have 2 spider homies in my bedroom. The past summer they caught a lot of bugs and now they’re just chilling. As long as they don’t enter the no-no zone they can stay. Jumping spiders are always welcome too
SaraTonin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yup. I don’t like having spiders in the house. Know what i like having in the house less? Flies. So the spiders stay.

I’ve seen many of you just chilling in your respective corners, not wanting fuckall to do with us gigantic bastards. With you, there were no mosquitoes.
You homies were chill af, and though it took great effort to overcome the fear, you and yours did not disappoint. Yours have quietly and peacefully traveled my home, often very close to me, and I watched you watching me.
Respect, spiderhomies. Mad respect, and may I continue to remember that you really just want to live, just as we do.
your spiderbabies are terrifying af and could you guys pls make bedbugs your mortal enemy pls bc fuck those assholes thank you for your fantastic work kbye 🤘 rock on spiderhomies

Baby orb weavers are yellow with a black dot on their butt. Not terrifying at all.
Mertn33@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Adult orb weavers are so big they give people heart attacks when they accidentally walk into a web. They don’t need to bite you at all.

Spiders eat bedbugs, so that’s nice.
Cockroaches eat bedbugs too. But I don’t think spiders or roaches can eat them fast enough to outdo their reproductive rate.

Happy to have spiders in my home until I find one in the shower with me. They don’t understand how dangerous the shower is for them; I’ve lost too many good spiders to drowning.
SaraTonin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You probably haven’t. Spiders can trap air with the hair on their skin and can survive a trip down the drain. They’ll probably climb back up again once it’s dry.
Emerald@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
down came the rain and washed the spider out
but vice versa
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The Australian ones (whitetails) are more populous, venemous, and aggressive than you could imagine in summer. I’d have a kill one inside my house almost every day.
It probably doesn’t help that our houses seal worse than an average tent.
thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Now I have to lookup statistics on how many people die in Oz land due to these demon spawns. Mercy on your soul.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Did a quick google, they aren’t lethal, and they hide from people and eat other spiders, so they’re one of the good ones. Surprisingly very few people die from the horrors of Australia, they’ve got a really robust setup for getting people anti-venom. Virtually no one dies from spiders in Australia, the last reported death was in 1980.
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m surprised it’s so low. My brother in law just sent me a photo posing with the red-bellied black snake that he found in his suburban Melbourne backyard today.

I have a pet wolf spider that lives in the room my wife keeps her plants in. Except it isn’t a pet because I don’t feed or care for it and if my wife finds it she’ll insist I move it outside.
Thing is, I’m pretty sure I have moved it outside. Several times. It hangs out in one of the plants, and my wife likes to move them outside sometimes. And it’s doing a great job keeping the flies from leaving that room. So Shelob stays.

I feel like some of them know. I have one spider in my shower and every time i take a shower i forget and almost drown it. Then i say something like: gosh darnit Toby, get outa here and i put her in her usual spot again.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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!
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Somehow, my kid grew up afraid of bugs. He moved back in with me recently. I had a spider buddy in the kitchen, small, with a web in a corner. He’d been there all summer. We didn’t bother each other.
My kid got rid of him.
Fortunately, my kid doesn’t go in the garage much. He’d find the black widow residing in a corner which has been home to a black widow since before I moved in almost 30 years ago. I bought the house new-built, she moved in before me. She doesn’t bother me, I don’t bother her. In fact, I’m the interloper in her history. (Obviously, not the same black widow.)

I don’t know how to tell you but spiders only live up to 3 years. You missed a number of funerals.

Can you please write a metal-as-fuck version of Charlotte’s Web where your black widow blood line watches you work on cars, or just live life or whatever?
I am imagining her as kind of a black leather halloween catwoman punk or slutty version of the original, but only you can tell her real story.
CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I wonder how many kids get bit by black widow’s because their parents didn’t recognize them as dangerous

one about that size decided to make a web across my bathroom door. good morning, whoa.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
I still have pictures of the asshole orb weaver that decided to bar me from leaving my house at freaking five o’clock in the morning. That was a very, very unpleasant realization. Then there was another one that decided to make my entire cabin (it was a one roomer, so very wide for the kitchen/living room) it’s webspace. Like, I’m okay if they build a web across my window, or in a corner, but not in my areas. They aren’t paying enough of the rent to get that privilege.
m3t00@piefed.world 1 month ago
run into them outside this time of year, walking to the car. used fly zapper on inside guy. darwin
Daemnyz@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
So there is a type of spray used on boats to get rid of spiders. As you can imagine, having an in closed space near the water is prime real estate for spiders. The spray works by making it impossible for spiders to make webs around it. You just use it on all your window frames. Spiders won’t pass those lines because they sense that they can"t make webs there. I use the one from Yachticon, don’t know if you can order it everywhere, but it works wonders.

Bologna. There was never a flying insect in my cabin, and yet two assholes decided to build giant webs in the middle. Spiders aren’t intelligent enough to track insect movement patterns and then build their webs.

SippyCup@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
You can in fact spend that 10 dollars you’ve saved on a fly trap plant that attracts spiders and beetles.
However you’d find the population of other insects going unchecked. So you’d have to spend another life savings on another plant for whatever replaces the spiders.

Animals go where the food is.
This is why ants invade homes and create nests out in the yard. This is why spiders set up shop inside your home and mice scurry in the corners.
If you don’t want animals like insects and rodents in your house, eliminate all possible sources of food. While some will always work their way in, the lack of food will mean they’ll always die quickly or leave just as fast as they came.

Spiders don’t go where there’s no food for them. You don’t have a spider problem, they’re trying to fix your insect problem.

tell that to the cellar spiders that keep getting into my apartment and dying in the corner of the ceiling.
