How to get rid of spiders in the country: in a private house and in the garden

Many species of spiders prefer to settle near humans, including in country houses. They do not cause harm to garden crops, but they perform an important function: they destroy flies, bedbugs, aphids, leaf rollers and other insects. Despite this, most people cannot stand the sight of spiders and are afraid of being bitten, so they prefer to get rid of them by all known means. Let's try to figure out what species live near people and how to remove them from your summer cottage.

Why do spiders appear?

Surely, you are at a loss as to why and how these arthropods appeared in your house (or apartment). The reasons for this may be different:

1. When it's cold outside, your house is warm (and spiders love warm, cozy places).
2. There is high air humidity in your home . It is known that spiders often build webs in rooms with high humidity: in bathrooms, kitchens, etc.
3. a lot of other insects in your house , which, by the way, spiders like to feed on (for example, flies, midges and cockroaches).
4. Your home, to put it mildly, does not sparkle with cleanliness and order . We all know that accumulations of garbage and pollution cause the appearance of cockroaches, and the latter are one of the favorite “foods” for spiders. And why don’t they come to a place where they can eat their delicacy often and a lot?

Benefit

As mentioned earlier, spiders do virtually no harm. It is, of course, unpleasant to be neighbors with them, but nothing more. There is one positive quality - they hunt other insects.

An adult can eat more than its own weight in food per day. If you have ants, cockroaches or flies in your home, the spider population will grow rapidly until they rid your home of other insects.

Do you need to get rid of spiders?

We get irritated even when we just see a spider. Meanwhile, these arthropods are beneficial . Spiders feed on insects that infest human homes. Some of these arthropods are capable of catching over 500 harmful insects per day. Their extermination is an important mission of spiders.

Surprisingly, these arthropod creatures are, in a way, natural weather forecasters. By the behavior of spiders you can determine what the weather will be like. For example, if this creature tears its web, it is believed that there will be a thunderstorm. The appearance of small spiders heralds warm, long sunny days. If a lot of these arthropods are observed in the spring, then it is believed that the coming autumn will be cold.

This is not to say that there is no harm from spiders at all. But this is rather a negative reaction of a person to them. So, for example, some people are so terribly afraid of spiders that they almost lose consciousness just by looking at them. And, of course, webs woven by arthropods do not decorate our houses and apartments at all. Perhaps the networks they weave and the appearance of these arthropods are the main reasons for people’s hostility towards them.

Having weighed all the pros and cons of spiders, each of us must decide for ourselves whether it is worth fighting them or letting them fight other insects in our homes.

The danger of a black spider in the apartment

Most spiders are peaceful roommates. They are not dangerous to humans.

But arthropods can bring some troubles with them:

1. Bacteria. Spiders are capable of carrying several types of bacteria. More often this is done by adults and large individuals. Since these animals do not care about the food of the owner of the house, the chances of becoming infected are small. But they still exist, especially if there are small children living in the house. They may lick or chew on objects that the spider ran over. The bacteria are most often carried by tramps.
2. Bites . Some species are still able to bite through human skin. The pain they cause is similar to bee stings. The appearance of the wound resembles the site of a mosquito bite: in the center there is a red dot, around there is a small swelling with a different shade (more pink). Sometimes the bitten skin begins to itch and an allergic reaction occurs. If the victim’s health begins to gradually get worse, it is better to consult a specialist.
3. Offspring. Due to reproduction, there are more and more spiders. And although unexpected neighbors are not dangerous, a large number of small and fast arachnids still frighten a person. The neighborhood is still unpleasant.

Note! Most often, domestic species do not cause trouble or trouble, except that the appearance of the cobwebs in the corners is not too aesthetic.

What to do when you see a spider: first steps

If you see a spider, don't be alarmed. There is no need for panic here. It will be easier for you to catch and deal with him if you are cold-blooded. It is important to determine which spider it is - poisonous or harmless . The vast majority of these arthropods are harmless to human life and health. However, some of their types are still dangerous.

In order to understand what kind of spider is in front of you, pay attention to its appearance. So, if it is black, without hair, but with a large belly, on which a red spot in the shape of an “hourglass” is noticeable, it is a black widow. If you notice a violin-shaped pattern on the back of the spider, it is a brown recluse spider. Both of these types of arthropods are very dangerous to humans.

How to get rid of harmless spiders

If you find a spider on a ceiling surface, follow these steps:

1. Take a transparent glass and a piece of cardboard.
2. Get up on the chair.
3. Using a glass and a piece of cardboard, place the arthropod in the glass. How to do it? Bring the glass to him and make the spider fall into the glass. Immediately cover the glass with a sheet of cardboard.
4. Release the spider outside.

This method can be used if you find a spider in any other place (not just on the ceiling). If the arthropod was conveniently located in the web at the time you saw it, simply place a glass under it and cut off the web with scissors. The spider will instantly be in the glass. But he will get out of there very quickly if you do not immediately cover the glass with a sheet of cardboard. Having done this, you can safely release the spider outside.

How to get rid of poisonous spiders

If you realize or suspect that there is a dangerous spider in front of you, follow the instructions below:

1. Don't let yourself get stung . In general, you should be interested in information about whether poisonous spiders live in the area where you live.
2. an insect collecting device in your home in such a case . Typically, such products are produced by companies that make children's toys. You can, in principle, replace it with a simple vacuum cleaner. By the way, if your vacuum cleaner is highly powerful, it will easily suck up a recluse spider. With the black widow, of course, it will be more difficult for him - she is heavier.
3. If you are not afraid, you can catch dangerous spiders in the same way as harmless ones, using a glass and a sheet of cardboard. But the size of these objects should be larger, since otherwise the risk of being stung by a poisonous arthropod increases.
4. When you catch a dangerous spider, throw it away from residential areas.
5. If you still failed to avoid the bite of a poisonous spider , immediately bandage the area above the place where it stung you. Call an ambulance and explain the situation. Don't panic under any circumstances. The fact is that when a person feels fear, the poison circulates more intensely in the blood. You should keep the bite site below the level of your heart until emergency doctors can help you.
6. For your own safety , it is recommended that when you see a spider, spray it with a special insecticide.

Precautionary measures

• Insurance never hurts. Therefore, always keep effective antidotes in the house out of the reach of children. They will be your first aid if a dangerous arthropod does bite you.
• If you cannot determine for sure whether the spider in front of you is harmless or not, then perceive it as a poisonous creature. Call an ambulance immediately and tell us about the situation.
• Do not try to catch this arthropod with your bare hands. Wear gloves and thick, long-sleeved clothing. A hood or other head covering should be placed over your head. In other words, you should make your body as safe as possible from the spider by covering it up.
• If you have never caught such spiders before, it is better not to risk it.

Arthropod feeding and web placement

Inside the arachnid's body there are special arachnid glands that produce a sticky liquid. With its help, the insect weaves its web. The strength of the threads is achieved by releasing different amounts of the composition from different glands.

The web is used for the following purposes:

• catching insects;
• flights;
• hiding a clutch of eggs.

This species of arthropod is a toothless predator. They do not catch prey on the fly. The spider attaches itself to the web and waits for the food to fall into its web. The insect begins to twitch, trying to escape. The web oscillates, notifying the hunter that dinner is served.

The predator attacks the prey and injects poison into it, while entangling it with threads. After some time, the insecticide dissolves the insect, and the spider can suck out the nutritional fluid.

Web for catching prey.

How to get rid of spiders forever?

If your home is literally filled with these arthropods, you should take immediate measures to “evict” them. People living in apartments need to work together with their neighbors to solve this problem, since spiders tend to wander from one room to another. The best solution here is to call specialists who will do pest control. The problem will be solved once and for all. During the processing of apartments, no one except professionals should be in the premises (neither people nor animals).

Professional pest control is the most effective way to get rid of spiders forever , even if there are a lot of them in the room. However, it is necessary to understand that this treatment uses strong chemicals that are dangerous not only to arthropods, but also to the health of humans and animals. Therefore, before carrying out disinfestation, it is necessary to remove all food products from the apartment and move away pieces of furniture. After treating the room, wet cleaning of the room is mandatory. Also, do not forget to ventilate the apartment. This way you and your loved ones will avoid poisoning.

Often, pest control helps get rid of these arthropods forever . But it also happens that after some time after treatment, the spiders return again. Then you should think, maybe in your home every now and then there are reasons that provoke the appearance of these arthropods (for example, garbage, insufficient cleanliness, etc.).

Category: “Questions and answers”

Spiders prefer to build nests closer to the ceiling, above cornices, on the upper tiers of furniture and in other points that are rarely used.
These nests must be found and eliminated using a vacuum cleaner. Question No. 1. How can you get rid of cobwebs?

The best way is to use a vacuum cleaner. Using a special nozzle with a narrow slot or just a pipe, you need to remove the cobwebs along all baseboards, especially in hard-to-reach corners, as well as from the ceiling. After cleaning, the garbage container must be emptied outside immediately. You should not place the contents of the vacuum cleaner in the compost, except for spiders, there may be harmful insects or infection.

Question No. 2. How long does it take to get rid of spiders?

This can be done at once if the entire house is renovated, after which spiders will not appear for a long time.

Question No. 3. Is it better to get rid of spiders yourself or invite specialists?

It depends on the number of arthropods. If there are a few of them, you can handle it on your own. And when a large space is covered with cobwebs, you should contact the sanitary service. It is important to note that these specialists work with pesticides that have a dangerous effect on people and pets. During professional treatment and the period of validity of the drugs, no one should be in the house except the exterminator.

Types of spiders that settle in houses and apartments

According to scientific research, spiders appeared on earth a very long time ago - more than 400 million years ago. Today there are about 40 thousand species of these arthropods in the world. Most of them do not pose a danger to people and animals. If a person is bitten by a harmless spider, he will only feel a slight burning sensation at the site of the bite and redness. In order to get rid of these symptoms, you simply need to treat the damaged area of ​​skin with hydrogen peroxide. If this product is not at hand, an alcohol solution will do. The burning sensation will pass quickly.

Spiders that live in residential areas are for the most part completely harmless. Moreover, they benefit humans by ridding their homes of more harmful insects. Spiders are small in size. They move on legs (long and thin). These arthropods have a brown or yellow body.

But there are also large spiders, reaching a length of up to 4 cm. They live on the streets and weave their webs there, which can be seen on balconies and loggias. Yes, such spiders can enter your house or apartment, but they will not stay there for long. They simply do not know how to live in a closed space. They need freedom, the street. Even food in the form of insects (cockroaches, midges, etc.) does not tempt them as much as will.

Attention! These arthropods do not bite and never attack people. On the contrary, when they see a person, they try to run away and hide from sight. It just so happens that they are endowed with an appearance that frightens people.

The following species of these arthropods inhabit houses and apartments:

• Harvesting spider or centipede. It is also called the window spider. It has a small abdomen (up to 1 cm long) of oval or almost round shape and long legs up to 5 cm. Typically, harvestmen have from 6 to 8 legs. He weaves webs in dark corners of the room or under windows. After the harvester weaves a web, he sits in it in an upside-down position, waiting for food. When prey (a midge, fly or other insect) gets into the network it has woven, the haymaker spider injects its poison and eats the victim.

• Hobo Spider. Spiders of this species enter houses and apartments through open doors and windows. Surprisingly, hobo spiders do not spin webs at all. They are able to hunt insects without using this trap. They lie in wait for the victim when she does not notice anything, pounce on her, inject poison into her and eat her. The spider then looks for food elsewhere. Externally, arthropods of this species look like centipedes. They also have a long belly and thin, long legs. Vagrants are not dangerous for humans in the Russian climate. Their bite will cause harm if the person stung is in an area with a hot climate. The fact is that when exposed to high temperatures, the venom of the hobo spider can cause inflammation of the skin. It should be noted that these spiders are like nomads - they do not stay long in one room, but constantly change their habitats.

• Home spider. This eight-legged gray or black arthropod can grow up to 14 cm in length. The house spider weaves webs in the form of a tube. It usually lives on walls or near light bulbs. The predators that eat small insects are the females of this species. Small house spiders usually do not cause fear in people. It is not difficult to take them out of the home into the yard.

Optimal conditions and timing for distribution

Spider - The harvestman is not poisonous and is not dangerous to humans.
Contrary to popular misconception, spiders are not insects. Biology classifies them as arthropods. The lifespan of each of them depends on the species. Some survive for up to two months , others for several years, but due to the large number of natural enemies, few survive to “natural” death. Scientists say that some representatives live at home for up to thirty years.

In the warm season, in suburban conditions, spiders live in the garden and vegetable garden. Here they have enough housing and food. With the onset of cold weather, they look for shelter and safely move into the house. Indoors, they are more interested in privacy than in “socializing” with people, so they are more likely to live in damp basements and dark attics than in living rooms.

But if spiders are still found in rooms, this means that they are attracted to prey in the form of insects. This is a signal that there are unwanted “living creatures” in the room, for example, cockroaches. And if they are not visible, this means that the spiders are coping with them. Unfortunately, they cannot destroy all pests because they reproduce faster.

How to get rid of spiders indoors

• Method number 1. Clean the whole house . Use a broom to sweep away cobwebs from ceilings, walls and corners. You can also use a vacuum cleaner. Ideally, you should destroy not only cobwebs, but also spider nests. Otherwise, in the near future a new generation of spiders will live in your home. Cover ventilation holes and windows with gauze or a special mesh. This will prevent spiders from getting a chance to get inside your home. It is also advisable to refresh the room with cosmetic repairs. In general, physical methods of fighting spiders can be called the simplest. True, vacuuming will not be very effective if you have a lot of spiders in your house or apartment.

• Method number 2. Owners of private houses and cottages should turn off the lights outside . Why? The fact is that mosquitoes and other small insects flock to the light. And where they appear, spiders also come there. Small insects are their favorite food.
• Method No. 3. Deprive spiders of food . As mentioned above, spiders eat flies, mosquitoes and other insects that also live in human homes. If you destroy them, the spiders will have nothing to profit from. And then they will go to a place of residence that is more favorable for them.
• Method No. 4. Use spider repellents . Today there are special products on sale that these arthropods are terrified of. So-called spider repellers are electromagnetic and ultrasonic. The latter emit powerful ultrasound, which is not felt by people, but these arthropods sense it very well. They do not destroy spiders, but they do repel spiders (hence the name). This means that they will quickly leave your home. Repellers are easy to use. Just plug the device into a power outlet. To achieve a quick effect, try to ensure that there are no obstacles for the waves emitted by the device. Repellers must be used strictly according to the instructions supplied with them. By the way, they are also effective in combating other pests: mice, cockroaches, ticks, etc. It is recommended to use spider repellers in a private home. However, it wouldn’t hurt for apartment residents to try this remedy. Repellers have one drawback: it is better for people not to sleep in the room where they work. This is unsafe for human health.

• Method No. 5. Use a glue trap . You can place it in different areas of the room: behind pieces of furniture, in corners, on cabinets, in deep crevices - in short, anywhere where spiders can build webs. Duct tape will easily do the job. True, it is powerless against spiders that live in the corners of the room right under the ceiling. The glue trap attracts ground spiders and insects. Its big disadvantage is that it cannot be used to destroy clutches of spider eggs. Here you can no longer do without the use of chemicals.

• Method No. 6. Special spider repellents available on the market will also help get rid of the infestation of these arthropods. For example, spray liquid against spiders is very popular. You just need to inject this product in the habitats of arthropods. The effect of the drugs lasts up to 6 months. You can use special dry tablets instead of a spray. They are poisonous bait for spiders. However, their use requires compliance with certain precautions. Thus, tablets should not be placed in places accessible to children and pets.
• Method No. 7. If there are a lot of spiders in the house, you need to resort to the use of chemicals . Butox 50, Raptor and Dobrokhim FOS give a good effect. Try to use medications containing pyrethroids. They are sold in household chemical stores. In order for these tools to help, you need to use them according to the instructions attached to each of them. Spray in areas where arthropods and insects live. It should be understood that a special product will destroy arthropods only if it hits it directly. If not, he will remain alive. Remember: chemicals are dangerous not only for spiders, but also for the health of people and pets.

Why are spiders useful and dangerous in the garden and home?

Conditions for the free spread of spiders depend on the maintenance of buildings.
In residential buildings where cleaning is constantly carried out, spiders hide from people in every possible way. In utility rooms or in seasonal holiday homes, they feel freer. There are much more cobwebs on dachas that are empty in winter. Most representatives of arthropods that gardeners encounter in most climatic regions of the Russian Federation are not dangerous to people. On the contrary, they can safely be considered biological assistants in the fight against pests in the garden and garden.

Do not destroy the cobwebs on the site . One individual spider can catch up to four hundred insects in its webs. In this case, the following are destroyed:

• leaf roller,
• Aphid,
• Bugs are turtles and other garden pests.

Oddly enough, spiders benefit people by eating flies, mosquitoes, midges, and other insects caught in their webs. Arthropods wintering in the garden are not afraid of low spring temperatures. Unlike other biological predators, in the spring they wake up earlier than everyone else and actively destroy pests that have not yet awakened from hibernation.

Chemicals against spiders

• Method No. 8. "Dobrohim FOS" . The main active ingredients of this drug are chlorperifos and fenthion. The product is highly effective in the fight against ticks and all other types of insects and arthropods that settle in a person’s home. “Dobrohim FOS” destroys spiders through a destructive effect on the nerve impulses of these arthropods, as a result of which the latter begin to experience convulsions, paralysis and quick death. The product can be used in apartments and private residential buildings. Dobrokhim FOS is used as follows. It is diluted with water in a ratio of 10 ml per 1 liter, respectively. When treating an apartment (or house) with this drug, small children and animals must be removed from the premises. The prepared solution is sprayed in the habitats of spiders. You must try to hit the spider bodies directly. So their death will be inevitable. After finishing the treatment of the room, you need to open the windows wide and leave it to be ventilated. Neither adults nor children should be in it for the first 24 hours (at least). After this time, you should do a thorough wet cleaning of the room. One treatment of an apartment or house with Dobrokhim FOS is enough for a month and a half.

• Method number 9. Butox 50 . Insect-acaricidal drug. Upon contact with the spider's body, it leads to paralysis of the arthropod's organs and lethargy with a fatal outcome. Butox 50 is one of the most powerful means for killing arthropods. To use, you need to dissolve 30 ml of this drug in 10 liters of water. The prepared solution should be used to treat areas where spiders live. After 20 minutes, you need to open the windows wide and ventilate the room. Wet cleaning is also required. If there are a lot of spiders in your home, then it is quite possible that treatment alone will not do. If you notice that the insects have not completely disappeared, repeat it. The effect of Butox 50 lasts 2 months.

Remember! Whatever chemicals you use to combat spiders, take precautions. If you carry out the treatment of an apartment or house yourself, be sure to wear protective clothing and a hat, trying to completely protect your body. Don't forget to put a mask on your face. After finishing work, wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap and water.

Methods of fighting spiders using chemical and mineral agents

An effective product that is easy to use and maintains a protective effect for up to one and a half months.
Among the drugs that are popular are the following brands:

How to get rid of spiders using folk remedies

If, after a short time after the general cleaning, you again see spiders or cobwebs in the house, we recommend using folk remedies to combat them, which will allow you to get rid of them forever. Their undoubted advantage is that they are completely harmless to people.

• Method No. 10. Peppermint oil. Pleasant for people, the smell of this essential oil is destructive for spiders. You can use peppermint oil or just plant the plant itself in a pot. Spiders will quickly escape from your home. These arthropods are afraid of the aroma of mint, especially peppermint. The oil of this plant is used by soaking cotton swabs in it and placing them in spider habitats. It is recommended to use this product once every 2 weeks. You can prepare a solution by adding 20 drops of peppermint oil to 0.5 liters of water. Spray all corners and crevices, as well as baseboards in the house with the prepared solution. If you or someone close to you does not like the smell of this essential oil, you can replace it with tea tree oil. Eucalyptus essential oil will also work. It should be remembered that if you or one of your loved ones suffers from allergic diseases, then it is better not to use essential oils, but to choose other means to kill spiders.

• Method No. 11. Fir oil. Spiders are afraid of the smell of pine needles. An excellent remedy is to soak cotton swabs in fir essential oil, place them on plates and place them in places where these arthropods gather. They'll run away for sure.

• Method No. 12. Other natural flavors. In places where spiders frequently live, it is effective to spread them out to repel them. hazelnuts, chestnuts or orange peel. The chestnut must be broken in half or at least pierced so that the spiders can smell it.

• Method No. 13. Vinegar. It is necessary to dissolve water and 9% vinegar in equal proportions. Using a spray bottle, squirt the prepared solution into corners and crevices - wherever spiders are found. It’s even better if you can spray the product on the spiders themselves. Contact with acetic acid will kill the spider. If after processing you still have a working solution left, pour it into small containers and place it in places that these arthropods most often visit. If for some reason you do not want to use vinegar, you can replace it with citric acid. By the way, it does not need to be diluted with water.

• Method No. 14. Sheep's wool. It is believed that spiders are afraid of its smell. Moreover, sheep wool in any form is unpleasant for them. Even if you just put a thread from a sweater knitted from sheep's wool, that will be enough. You can also place scraps of sheep wool in places where spiders gather.
• Method No. 15. Natural powders. An excellent way to kill spiders is diatomaceous earth (rock flour). When this absorbent gets on the spider’s body, it begins to draw moisture from its body. Spiders cannot withstand dehydration and die. The product helps to get rid of not only them, but also other insects in the house. Diatomite does not pose a danger to people or animals. In addition, it is easy to use: you just need to sprinkle it in the spiders’ favorite places.

• Method No. 16. Boric acid. It kills spiders, and is safer for adults than many other drugs. It is necessary to treat the corners and crevices where spiders and insects have settled with this powder. But it is better not to use this product in homes where there are children and pets.

Prevention of spiders

Arthropods enter indoors from the street. Therefore, you first need to properly protect your own home from them. For this, the following preventive measures are recommended:

Get rid of other insects inhabiting the house, since they are a source of food for arthropods. It is undesirable to leave lights near the building in the evening and at night, and do not turn on bright lighting in the room to prevent the invasion of flies and mosquitoes. Be sure to keep the premises clean, do not leave food remains accessible to any insects. Keep food in airtight containers. It is imperative to keep the basement and attic tidy and clean. Remove unnecessary rubbish from these rooms. Reliably protect window openings with mosquito nets, protect all ventilation openings with fine mesh grilles. When transporting furniture to your apartment, carefully check whether there are cobwebs on it. It is also necessary to ventilate and periodically remove dust from sofas, and clean pillows and mattresses. When performing repair work, it is advisable to use a special glue for attaching wallpaper that contains insecticides. This way it will be possible to guarantee and permanently protect your home from the invasion of arthropods. It is undesirable to plant flowers or any shrubs near the building.

Spiders are very unpretentious and tenacious insects; they reproduce extremely quickly. To ensure that you get rid of their presence, you need to carry out complex measures.

Advice! Having achieved the complete destruction of arthropods, be sure to continue to maintain order; you must not allow dust to accumulate in the cracks, because otherwise the spiders will return to the house again.

A clean room ensures the health of the people living in it. You need to monitor both order and humidity in the house, regularly ventilating all rooms, removing crumbs from the table, and not leaving unwashed dishes in the sink. Then any insects will become uncomfortable being inside the house, so they will leave it on their own forever.

In the basements

Be sure to whitewash basement ceilings with lime. Arthropods do not digest it. This simple method will deprive you of the “pleasure” of seeing spiders for a long time.

In apartments

Meticulous cleaning, reliably blocking access to spiders, and depriving them of food are the most proven methods of eliminating insects. Even after getting rid of them, do not neglect your home.

On the balconies

Scatter bay leaves, black pepper powder, cloves or turmeric on the balcony. This will help drive away the spiders. It is recommended to grow plants on the balcony that emit an odor unpleasant to insects.

By constantly eating other insects, spiders are able to provide invaluable benefits to humans. But there is also harm from them. The cobwebs do not add any attractiveness to the room. What outweighs the benefit or harm, you need to decide for yourself. Only after this choose an alternative - to coexist peacefully or to constantly fight arthropods.

Don't forget: flies, midges and all other small creatures are food for arthropods. Therefore, do not lure either one or the other with uncleanliness in your home.

Reproduction of arthropods

Arachnids are heterosexual. Males are smaller than females and have brighter colors. The reproductive organs are located in front of the spinning glands.

Males demonstrate their interest in mating in various ways (for example, by clinking their legs on the web). If the female accepts the call, she gives permission to approach her.

After mating, the male must leave the female. It is not uncommon for a female to eat her boyfriend after fertilization.
