Catch the Spider: Gently move closer to the spider and place a glass over it to trap it inside.
Put the paper under the glass carefully once the spider is inside. Be careful and move slowly so you don't hurt the spider.
Take the glass and paper to the closest door and let the spider go outside, far from your house. This allows the spider to keep living in its natural environment while also keeping your home free of spiders.
Ways to Control Spiders Over Time
Besides safely removing single spiders, there are some steps you can take to lower the likelihood of them getting into your house:
Close all openings: Inspect windows, doors, and any holes or spaces in your house's base. Closing these openings can prevent spiders and other bugs from getting in.
Spiders like dark, quiet places. To make your home less attractive to them, keep basements, attics, and storage areas tidy and free of clutter.
Clean your home regularly by vacuuming and dusting to get rid of food crumbs and spider webs used to catch prey. By keeping your house clean, you can decrease the food that attracts spiders and the bugs they eat.
Try using natural repellents like peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender essential oils to keep spiders away. Using these oils near windows, doors, and other places where spiders could get in can stop them from coming into your house.
End
Removing spiders by vacuuming them might seem like a fast solution, but it usually doesn't work well and could even make the situation worse. These strong animals can live in vacuum cleaners, eating crumbs left behind, and then return to your home. Instead of using the vacuum cleaner, try using a kinder and eco-friendly method to get rid of them from your house. Spiders are important for keeping pests under control, so it's a good idea to let them stay outside.
By using a glass and paper to catch and release spiders, you can avoid the problems of vacuuming and keep the natural balance in your home. By taking precautions and being patient, you can control spiders in a manner that is safe for you and the environment.
