How to Get Rid of Spiders by Fire
WouterThere is no shortage of horror stories related to fire-related spider kills. Unfortunately, many of these stories involve human error.
The best way to avoid this type of mishap is to avoid having spiders in your home in the first place. This involves sealing any holes, not using your fireplace, and keeping any gas lines, if any, completely closed when not in use.
You can actually get rid of spiders with a spray bottle of water and a dash of bleach. However, it is a safe bet that spiders will find a way to escape.
If you do not like the idea of spiders, the best bet is to capture them in jars. It is possible to kill a spider with a swat, a shoe, or a stick of deodorant.
Spiders may be afraid of fire, but that does not mean that they cannot be killed by it. Unlike humans, spiders have poor eyesight and rely on other senses to detect danger. They also have small hairs on their legs that can detect vibrations.
While you can’t light a spider on fire, you can swat it with a shoe or a rolled up newspaper. As long as you are careful, it is not a bad idea to give this a shot.
Another wacky way to get rid of a spider is to smash its head with a glass. The most logical solution is to crush it with something sharp, but this approach is likely to cause damage. A blunt object will also miss the mark and may not even hit the spider.
