In France, there are more than 1,600 cash different spiders. These small animals would be nearly a hundred to live on each square meter of meadow. I can already hear a few arachnophobes screaming: “Horror! “ Yet the spiders are very useful in our gardens, and for our homes … Outstanding predators, they would catch at least a ton ofinsects per year and per hectare.
Spider is healthy house sign
Thus, the less polluted a garden, the more it attracts spiders, which are fond of biodiversity. As for your interior, these little animals will know how to clean them from flies, mosquitoes or other cockroaches and cockroaches. A good deal !
Also note that the house spiders that we find in our country flee places that are too confined, too hot or too humid. If they move into your home, it is therefore a sign that your home is a rather healthy place to live.
Try not to put the spiders outside
If some of you are tempted to return the spiders found in your home to the wild, perhaps you should think twice, because for some of them the act amounts to a death sentence. Spiders are indeed adapted to living conditions very specific. Some species are no longer found in nature, but only in our homes.
So if the spiders are in your way, but you don’t want to kill them, instead move them to a place in your house – like the garage or basement – where they can live their lives far enough away from you.
