You shouldn’t kill spiders when you find them in your home, expert claims


If you find an enormous spider in your house, it can be difficult to damp down the panic response which tells you, ‘Kill it! Kill it!’

But it’s actually a bad idea, at least according to one expert

Spiders will hide away if they think you can see them – so you won’t be ‘getting rid’ of the spiders in your house, as there are probably more.

Spider expert Matt Bertone of North Carolina State University says that the creatures can also perform a vital function by getting rid of insects.

Bertone said in an essay for The Conversation, ‘It’s OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, it’s normal. And frankly, even if you don’t see them, they’ll still be there.

Bertone says, ‘Although they are generalist predators, apt to eat anything they can catch, spiders regularly capture nuisance pests and even disease-carrying insects – for example, mosquitoes. So killing a spider doesn’t just cost the arachnid its life, it may take an important predator out of your home.’

Bertone suggests that if you’re bothered, you should take the spider outside, where it will happily scuttle off to find a new home.

Stop puffing bro... You have exceeded your limit for the day

here in my ppa, I have come across a kind of spider that has its young contained live in its body, as I squash the spider, up to 50 tiny spiders gush out from it.

its horrifying!

No talk am again, African spiders no de kill only insect: dem de kill dreams, prosperity, destiny and even better life. Oyinbo spiders are natural while African spiders are man made Jare.

you ended the life of an innocent nursing spider. A whole generation gone. You no try.

Oyinbo reasoning can never equates with that of Africa man but Nigeria in particular, using your head to pack cobwebs in Nigeria is extremely a setback and it can be tantamount to be stagnation. If the purpose of spiders in the house is to police ants, mosquitoes I will buy otapiapia mixed with sniper and kill them. It's just like these kind of mixture I will not sleep in that house for that day so that I don't suffocate.

I won't kill another spider again. Same reason why I don't kill geckos.

Just killed one this morning.

Same tale I listened by a Grail Message man on radio some years back telling that we shouldn't kill rats
Why?

Because they literally clean our homes of dirts.

I wouldn't mind killing them all if they were down enough for me to trample on.. But they're always up .. Have you met me? Am short Af..

is it the same spider our village people use to attack someone they say we should not kill...
