Fun Facts About Spiders from the World Wide Web!
How to Control Spiders and Spider Webs Around Your Home
No matter what kind of spider you’re dealing with, you don’t always want to share space with them.
How to Get Rid of Unwanted Spiders and Spider Webs
- For its weight, spider web silk is actually stronger and tougher than steel.
- Spider muscles can only pull their legs inward but can’t extend them out again. To get around this issue, spiders will pump a watery liquid into their legs to help push them out again. This is why a dead spider has its legs always curled inwards as there is no fluid being distributed to retract them.
- On average, it takes a spider about 60 minutes to spin a web.
- The average house has 30 spiders.
- Average life span is 1-2 years, although female tarantulas may live up to 20 yrs!
- Spiders have blue blood. The molecule that oxygen is bound to, contains copper, which gives their blood the blue colour.
How to Control Spiders and Spider Webs Around Your Home
No matter what kind of spider you’re dealing with, you don’t always want to share space with them.
- Seal up your entry points wherever possible to keep spiders from entering through cracks, eaves and crevices. Cover vents with fine mesh or insect screens. Remove cobwebs and declutter crowded spaces.
- If you have webs, you also have spiders on your property. In addition to being unsightly, these webs harbour pests and allow spiders to reproduce.
- Spiders love to feed on bugs like cockroaches, beetles and crickets, so make sure you keep these populations in check with Bugga Off
- Use a long-handled cobweb brush to destroy the webs in high-up indoor/outdoor areas like eaves or the corners between your walls and ceilings.
- Turn off outdoor lighting since it can attract pests like moths, which will attract spiders.
