month ago i found a spider in my bed and nearly died.
today, when i went to get a t-shirt from my chair clothes pile, a spider came crawling from inside.
first they take my bed, now my clothes. next they will take my drugs.
i no longer feel safe in this household :deeper-sadness:
Your house is good hunting grounds apparently. Spiderfriends have noticed your problem and are trying to help.
Try treating for ants & roaches & stuff. Once the prey is gone the spiders should leave pretty soon
I've noticed within my own house and work that after I started addressing all spiders as Comrade Spider in a bad russian accent they stopped fucking with me, maybe try that?
I'm sorry but if the spiders want it it's your duty to give it to them. You can move out and live in the crevice between the wall and a trash can. They aren't using that space anymore.
If you clean around the places around your room you will get rid of spaces their prey and the spiders live. They will relocate to other parts of your home that hopefully arent your bedroom. Spiders will have a harder time getting into a clothes drawer than a pile for example.
Or you could get a bunch of hedge apples and litter them around your room, thatll fix it
While that's true, I used to have a (mild?) brown recluse infestation in my closet. It can sometimes be a big issue.
It may help to know what the dangerous ones are, as wolf spiders are far more spooky looking than brown recluses but aren't dangerous.
Jumping spiders are cute, cool, and good. They're the ones that show up if you google 'cute spider' because they have two neotenous front eyes.
brown recluse infestation in my closet.
Could be worse, brown recluses are really docile. You just need to be careful not to accidentally grab/squish them and they're basically never going to bite you.
Definitely not ideal though, I personally wouldn't want brown recluses in my closet. Maybe hanging out in the walls or something, I don't mind them there.
More than a few times I saw them crawl into my laundry basket o_O
But other than the occasional freak-out over grabbing or almost grabbing something with a brown buddy, I never had an incident. No bites or anything.
Recently I had one as a pet but Dennis unfortunately passed away after an embarrassing incident.
Unless the spiders in your area pack some serious venom or are freakishly large, I wouldn't worry too much
It is a real phobia. I get that but try as you can to manage it. I have my own phobias, so you're not the only person dealing with it. As long as they're not harmed they won't harm you is my best advice, but deal with it as you think is healthy.
If it helps spiders sort of come and go with the seasons. Springand early summer are prime spider season, and then moving into winter there are less around.
