Spiders won’t eliminate your bug problem either. The presence of predators in an environment doesn’t imply all of their prey will soon go extinct.
You eliminate bugs by preventing their entry, reducing or removing their food and water sources, and/or interrupting or preventing their mating cycles. Or occasionally deploying something that kills everything in an area (though if you don’t also do the other steps above, they’ll eventually return).
Meanwhile, the spiders I have begrudging let live have caught nothing because they take up residence behind the toilet and inside an unfilled cabinet (that was fun to discover)
The flies are operating freely! I’m gaining nothing from this ceasefire!
I had a spider in a web right over the fuckin hole in the wall where all the ants enterd. This fucking guy did nothing. Just sat there watching food parade in and out all day all night. Like, come on!
The longleg spiders in my house stay around the ceiling near one of the windows, plenty of moths show up every once in a while. Also a bunch of tiny, pencil lead sized flying things.
Meanwhile, the ants all run around the floor.
You need to bring her offerings.
Ants should be allowed they are cool
Except people don’t say that …
They say " I don’t want BUGS in my house"
As someone who can’t tolerate most insects in his home: Spiders are welcome. Always have been. And since Adrian Tchaikovskys Children of Time, I started naming them.
Are they all called Portia, Fabian, Viola and Bianca? (That book was so good)
Yes, actually. That one gigantic one on my balcony is named Portia. The one behind my bathroom mirror is named Fabian. So is the one next to my kitchen fan. I just figured they’re both male. Probably.
Gigantic? How big is Portia?
Ok I think I need to paddle back a bit. Her phat ass is roughly 2cm in diameter. Which is laughable for most of the world, but it’s gigantic for German standards. I am almost sure it’s a Eratigena atrica or Große Winkelspinne.
I’m listening to book 2 in the series at the moment. So good also!
House centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrata) are equally as beneficial as they are creepy.
They’re just too damn creepy for me. I’m sorry, guys, my primitive brain has been programmed to have a strong response to seeing something like you. You understand. squish
I always worry that the spiders I leave alive will have ten million spider babies. Is that not a concern for any of you?
Any spider smaller than a quarter is welcome in my home. Any spider larger gets served a non deadly eviction notice
But how can I stop the spiders? We have so many…
Spiders will die off when their food supplies decrease. Spiders are also quite hostile to each other, so they’ll never get overpopulated.
I think you swallow a frog?
You smash spiders to get rid of bugs.
I smash spiders because they bite the fuck out of me.
We are not the same.
