How to get rid of large spiders in an apartment. Spiders in the house (apartment) - methods of extermination, store and folk remedies

Seeing a spider hardworkingly scurrying its web in the corner of the room, many of us experience conflicting feelings: on the one hand, we want to kill this vile creature, on the other hand, somewhere in the corner of our minds our grandmother’s superstitions are still alive that spiders scurry about happiness and prosperity . In fact, spiders are useful: they destroy harmful domestic insects. But in any case, neither insects nor arthropods have a place in our home. We need to get rid of such “neighbors”.

Cleanliness and order against spiders in the house. All types of spiders are very voracious: total weight insects (cockroaches, moths, flies, ants, mosquitoes) that each individual eats per day exceeds its own weight. It’s unpleasant to even think that such pests live very close to us.

Spiders appear in places where there is chaos. Another undoubted benefit of arthropods: dust sticks to the threads of the web, making the air in the room cleaner. But wouldn’t it be better if the owners deal with dust themselves rather than entrust this task to furry “helpers”?

So, before you get rid of spiders (physically destroy them), you need to deprive them of:

• food base;
• habitual habitat;
• access to the home.

The first step to eliminating spiders is regular cleaning:

• remove all carpets, hang them outside, knock out the dust;
• Sort through wool and fur items in closets, lay out traps and poison for moths. Sticky tapes that are coated with a substance containing pheromones are very effective. You will be surprised how many moths stick to them. Moths often appear in ikebana arrangements made from dried flowers. Therefore, last year’s bouquets and wreaths of ears of corn, immortelle and thistles, with which many housewives like to decorate their kitchens, will have to be thrown away;
• flies live in food waste - therefore, from now on you must take out the trash can every day and periodically disinfect it with chlorine-containing detergents;
• Cobwebs, which often cover corners, the backs of sofas and cabinets, can be conveniently removed using a vacuum cleaner with the nozzle removed. The web is pulled into the hose along with the nests (they look like round white seals with a diameter of 1–1.5 cm). By removing maximum amount nests, you can be sure that young spiders will not hatch from eggs. Remove the cobwebs under the ceiling with a long pole, the end of which is wrapped in gauze. Clean the vacuum cleaner and gauze immediately;
• make sure that dust does not accumulate on furniture, carpets and walls;
• Wash and polish the floors thoroughly (if they are not varnished). It is better to rub the floor with mastic diluted with turpentine: cockroaches are afraid of this smell;
• check all the pipes in the bathroom and toilet: there should be no dampness, which cockroaches and woodlice love;
• ventilate the room regularly, as spiders do not tolerate drafts;
• spread the plaster and carefully seal all the cracks in the floor, especially in the kitchen: spiders, ants and cockroaches enter the apartment through these holes;
• cover with fine metal mesh ventilation holes;
• check mosquito nets and replace broken ones;
• cover the walls with new wallpaper - spiders in the apartment will disappear for several years, since wallpaper glue contains insecticides (dangerous poison for spiders and other insects);
• if you live in a private house, to deal with spiders, you will have to visit perfect order in the attic and basement. Ruthlessly throw away old trash, remove cobwebs from the walls. Whitewash the walls in the basement with lime: spiders are afraid of this product like fire.

If you keep your apartment (house) perfectly clean, the spiders will simply disappear, since they will have nothing to do where there is no dust and pests for food.

Folk remedies for spiders

If after spring cleaning or repair, arthropods are still trying to regain lost positions, and you still notice cobwebs in the corners, which means it’s time to move on to a targeted fight. There are many folk remedies for spiders to kill and repel:

Mint. Spiders cannot stand the smell of peppermint. Near a private house or in a country house, be sure to plant this fragrant plant on the lawn in front of your home. In an apartment, mint can be grown on the balcony or simply in a pot on the windowsill. The spiders will rush to leave the room, where there will be mini-bouquets of mint in several vases.

Essential oil. Works like the previous method, suitable for those who do not have time to care for plants and flowerpots. Fill a hand spray bottle with water and add a few drops of peppermint essential oil (20-30 drops per half liter of water). Spray all baseboards with the solution. Wipe areas near cracks on the floor with a cloth soaked in peppermint oil. Roll cotton balls, soak them in mint oil and plug the cracks through which spiders enter your home.

Instead of mint, you can use eucalyptus or tea tree oil.

Other natural flavors. Spiders are terrified of the smell of horse chestnut. Take several fruits, cut them into 4-6 pieces and place them near the baseboards. The same remedy will also help against moths. Crushed walnut shells will repel spiders; arthropods also cannot stand the smell of citrus peels.

Vinegar solution and lemon juice. If you want to not only repel, but destroy spiders, use vinegar. Dilute 9% table vinegar water in a 1:1 ratio, pour some into a hand spray bottle, pour the remaining liquid into saucers or small glasses, place the containers near the cracks in the baseboards. Spray the baseboards with the prepared vinegar solution. If you see spiders, try to spray them too: arthropods die from contact with acetic acid. Instead of vinegar, you can use lemon juice (pure, not diluted with water).

Boric acid. Apply boric acid near the cracks in the baseboards: for spiders, as well as for cockroaches, this substance is deadly. Boric acid powder is much safer for people and pets than commercially available aerosols.

Velcro. Sticky tapes are usually designed to attract flies and moths. But sometimes spiders also fall into these traps. Place some Velcro strips on the floor in the corners. After a couple of days, at least several arthropods will stick to each one. Don’t forget to change the location of the traps: spiders are smart, so they are unlikely to go to the place where their fellow died.

Pyrethrum and diatomite. A proven remedy for spiders is pyrethrum (Dalmatian chamomile powder). The main advantage of the drug is its absolute harmlessness to people and animals. The pyrethroids contained in the powder are deadly poisonous to spiders and cockroaches. Sprinkle the product near the cracks in the baseboards and immediately get rid of two types uninvited guests.

Diatomite, a powder obtained by crushing fossils, also helps against spiders. It is environmentally friendly, safe for people, and a deadly poison for spiders.

Cats. Kittens especially love to hunt not only mice, but also eight-legged game. If you get a cat, the pet will not calm down until it catches all the spiders remaining in the home.

Ultrasonic spider repellers

Electric ultrasonic spider repellers are currently commercially available. These devices are quite effective, but you cannot stay, much less sleep, in a room where the repeller is turned on: powerful ultrasound can harm the human body. Therefore, such devices must be used carefully, following the instructions.
