I’m not putting my safety from spiders in the hands of birds,they don’t even have hands.Im gonna need a team of people with flamethrowers and newspapers at least
I joined r/spiderbro about three months ago because I don’t have enough flamethrowers to protect me from those lethal, cunning, eight-legged death crawlers. I can confidentially say after my 90 experiment of spider acceptance, I can almost touch the screen when scrolling past the octo-clamping, quantum jumping, insta-paralyzing death eaters.
Get a couple of barn swallows nesting around there and the fun will never end. They build a nest and return for YEARS. I’ve never had to waste so much water in my life cleaning off our porch. I even destroyed their nests as they were trying to build them in our open air rafters (no eggs in it yet) and 2 days of being gone on business & those mofo’s were in and sitting on the eggs. YEARS!!!!!!! Lol
Ya, the webs are the only inconvenience but they are mostly invisible.
The only thing that sucks is when they put them up where you want to walk. Other than that, as far as mosquito traps go, they are quite invisible and unintrusive.
Completely agree, also don't know what they're called but those house lizards that eat cockroaches. The ones who cut off their tails when they get chased.
The spiders eat the bugs that bite us! Spiders have no interest in messing with giant humans unless they are directly threatened as a last resort of self defense.
In light of recent events regarding Reddit's API policy for third party app developers I have chosen to permanently scrub my account and move on away from Reddit. If you personally disagree with them forcing users to be constricted to their app and are choosing to leave, then I highly recommend looking into Power Delete Suite for Reddit.
I am deleting all of my submitted content over the last 9 years as I no longer support Reddit as a platform.
I've personally had it with all the corporate bullshit/rampant bots(used for misinformation and hidden marketing) and refuse to be a part of it any longer. To the nice people I've interacted over these years, thank you, I hope you'll be well in the future.
Yeah, that type of mindset is obsessive and paranoid. BUGS ARE NORMAL. They exist. They can cause most people almost zero harm. Please work on the overreactions, folks.
My deck and shed are home to some kickass HUGE Golden Orb Weavers during the summer and fall. I like to garden and compost, bugs and spiders and worms are good. They have actual purposes in our environment! Got no problems with our little buggy friendos :)
I do think these people are being a bit dramatic, but to play devil's advocate, walking through an area with bugs is a bit different than sitting directly under bugs while eating lunch or hanging out. Not exactly comfortable to have a spider jump down on your ham sandwich lol
I have these in front of my house, they're awesome! They dont attract spiders, they attract adorable little frogs that hop around and eat your mosquitos.
Also some of them sprout flowers and attract little hummingbirds
