I do not leave windows open or doors open, yet I still have spiders and I am terrified of them. I have a black widow that is hard to catch. I don't think peppermint and lemon is going to cut it.

The spider swallowing thing was just a social experiment to see how fast information travels and it obviously goes quick but this was done years ago and haven’t seen many people debunk it

That's not true you can be very clean and have spiders most of the time and if you have space in your home untouched you have spiders and they do like people who Clean

I’ve been trying to trap a black widow spider that’s invaded my office. It’s venomous, so I wouldn’t mind killing it, but I can’t use insecticides. I thought of trying glue traps. Would those work? What would be a good bait?

[jomarkov]

Australian spiders can definitely hurt you

[izzytyler]

Absolutely untrue on why they are crazy active during that two month British summer time. Please look up actual academic papers if you care enough (or as phobic as I am) . Took me many hours to learn about it all. As a South African who moved here in my teens (I literally slept in our swimming pool on a lilo when spiders and hand sized, flying coackroaches who can sneak through paper width spaces get bold). Firstly, let’s squish some not true popular theories. In spite of what your “brave” beef eating, bacon butty loving, suddenly an ambassador of animal welfare helper says, these are NOT outside insects. Yes, they look like they eat chihuahua ls for breakfast but no, they actually live indoors all year round. They WILL return to your house. Also YOUR house, unless it’s at least a 10 minute drive away, they will come back to their home. Your home? Also, they aren’t confused. The general August time is their mating season (as in Texas “moving road” phenomenon with male tarantulas on the prowl for action) so the ones you see are the males. The females are in our houses year round, both genders are very shy and you won’t know they are in your home until this time of year. It’s the guys seeking out the females. No “natural” remedy will stop them, I have had a door way bushel of peppermint leaves, cloves and cookers amongst other and literally WATCHED males crawl over them like it was nothing, so sting is the horn dog in them. So your options are basically fumigate before July, get seriously strong spider spray off the internet (the stuff they have on the uk, they use it like axe body spray). Their webs are distinctive triangles that look like a wall hammock no bigger than a hand.if you’d like more advice message below x good luck and may your heart hold out this next season 🖖🏻
