Spiders love boxes, piles of laundry, and that corner of your garage where you “store” holiday decorations from 2007. Clutter is a spider’s five-star resort with free buffet. Vacuum regularly—especially behind furniture and under beds. When you do, immediately empty the vacuum bag outside, or you’ll create a spider cyclone that escapes back into your living room.
And here’s a wild stat: a single female spider can lay up to 3,000 eggs in one season. That’s not a spider problem—that’s a small army with eight legs and zero interest in democracy. Vacuuming disrupts their cozy little egg sacs, which are usually the size of a pea and look like tiny asbestos pillows. Just suck them up. No tears.
