Spider Season

[FF68]

Over the last week I've noticed this is the time of year when spiders start coming indoors. I don't know how they get in and thankfully I only get those skinny money spiders where I live but they're bugging me for sure and there's a lot of them. Anyone else having the same issue? How do you deal with spiders?

I don't deal with spiders. Spiders eat flies, flies are annoying. Spiders are welcome.

I am not a fan.
However I acknowledge that they are important in keeping other critter populations down.

But I still have to nuke them out of existence with extreme prejudice if they have the temerity to show their octophthalmous little faces in my presence, those unreasonably multi-limbed scumbags.

Spider bites are really rare. It'll either be bed bugs, fleas or a flying insect like midges or mosquitos.

Spiders wouldn't bite you that many times.

Maybe a one-off incident or something, but multiple attacks?
I'd be moving house.

I rolled over in bed one night years ago and heard a buzzing noise in my ear, which I later realised was a warning noise - because the next morning there was a bite mark on my ear, which I suspect was a spider ... but its only ever happened once.

I think I might once have swallowed one (at someone else's house, years later) - I was asleep, probably snoring with my mouth open and suddenly I woke up and realised I had swallowed something that was moving. Coulda been a fly but it wasn't buzzing about in my trachea, so I tried to cough it up, with no success. I had to keep swallowing and swallowing, panicky as fuck with this lump in my throat until I could feel it being pushed down towards my gut where the stomach acid would eventually put paid to it. Couldn't sleep until there was no sensation at all.

Maybe although you think its not bedbugs (or fleas) then maybe you should try just putting down some diatomaceous powder anyway and see if that helps. You have to leave it down for at least a week and its a PITA cos you end up tracking it all through the house, but it clears unknown critters pretty well. If they're any sort of chitinous critter (which includes spiders), the powder will get in between their exoskeleton and irritate/dehydrate them to death.

Although if anyone has COPD in your family maybe best not, or send them away for a couple of weeks.
