How to limit their presence in the long term
Block the accesses
Check the condition of window seals, install mosquito nets, and seal cracks in walls or around pipes. It’s like closing the shutters to keep out mosquitoes: simple, but incredibly effective.
Turn off unnecessary outdoor lights
Light attracts insects, which in turn attract… spiders. Reducing this light-dependent food chain can greatly limit nighttime visits.
Tidy up cluttered areas
Piles of cardboard boxes, clothes, or forgotten items are prime hiding places. The less shelter you provide, the less likely they are to remain.
Should we be afraid of spiders?
Most spiders found in France are harmless . They don’t bite and avoid humans. Better yet, they help balance your home by regulating the population of harmful insects. It’s a bit like having a pantry protected from flies and mosquitoes!
Conclusion: cohabitation or prevention?
Spiders aren’t our enemies, but we might prefer to keep them outside. With a few simple steps, you can maintain a healthy and peaceful home without the need for violent intervention.
And if a spider crosses your path again, tell yourself that it’s just passing through… or that it’s discreetly doing you a favor!
