How to Protect Yourself From Spiders
WouterThe word cobwebs comes from the Old English phrase attercoppe. It is used to describe a spider web. This type of spider web is usually a tangled mess.
The real secret behind cobwebs is much scarier. Spiders build webs and use them to catch and keep insects. They can also be very annoying. Often, they can be found in homes.
There are 230 species of cobweb spiders in North America. All of them have eight eyes, long legs, and round abdomens. These spiders can reproduce rapidly. A single spider can lay hundreds of eggs.
Cobwebs can appear in high places like your ceiling or hallway corners. The easiest way to get rid of them is to vacuum. Vacuuming helps to remove the dust and dirt that can build up in cobwebs.
When you are cleaning your home, it is important to pay attention to your corners. If you can’t find a place to vacuum, use a long-handled duster or a hose to pick up the dirt and debris.
Another way to reduce spiders is to spray insecticide around your home’s openings. Do this at least once a month if you have a large family. Ensure that you spray from top to bottom. Insecticides are available in home improvement stores.
Although spiders can be very annoying, they are not dangerous. If you get bitten, it is important to seek medical attention. Symptoms include abdominal pain, swelling, and difficulty breathing.
Keeping your home clean is the best way to protect yourself from spiders. You can hire professional cleaners if you are too busy.
