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

Yup. I don’t like having spiders in the house. Know what i like having in the house less? Flies. So the spiders stay.

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

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.

Seriously. I have zero problem when I see spiders in my house. I’m like, “Oh, good. Keep it up, bro.” Totally happy to have arachnids around.

This is why I welcome them in. I don’t have screens on my windows, so in the summer, flies get in. The spiders are why I don’t have a fly problem.

I have macro shots of a tiny jumping spider hauling a fly behind a bathroom pic. She is most welcome to stay.

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.

Spiders eat bedbugs, so that’s nice.

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 hour 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.

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

Just chiming in to represent the small minority of people who strongly dislike spiders in our houses
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 5 hours 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.

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.

Now I have to lookup statistics on how many people die in Oz land due to these demon spawns. Mercy on your soul.
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 hour 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.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 5 hours 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.

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 3 hours 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.

one about that size decided to make a web across my bathroom door. good morning, whoa.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 6 hours 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.

i like to have a couple wolf spiders hanging around. they stay out of my way and eat the more annoying bugs.
bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Well just regularly clean your house properly and then there will be no food for insects and thus no prey for them to eat and thus they will not be in your house.
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 6 hours ago
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.
