Why do domestic spiders appear on the walls, ceiling in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, disturbing the peace and balance of a person? There are several reasons for this. Arthropods have their own plans for people's homes. How much do they run counter to the plans of the owners of houses and apartments? More on this below.

What types of spiders are there?

Spiders in the house, represented by several species, live together with a person. Most often it is:

• haymaker (he's a centipede or window man);
• black or gray;
• tramp.

The haymaker has a body with a round or oval belly, six or eight legs, which are his hallmark... The length of the legs of the window spider reaches 5 cm. The long-stem weaves complex extensive webs, into which small insects fall. The spider watches over the victim, falling into the web, and as soon as from an active desire to escape, it becomes so entangled that it cannot move, injects a paralyzing poison into it.

In a house or apartment, the haymaker chooses places near windows or in dark corners, hanging mostly upside down. When approaching large insects, the spider, guarding the web, tries to swing it as actively as possible.

Black or gray house spiders are noticeably smaller than haymakers. Their body length does not exceed 14 mm. The web of such spiders resembles a pipe in shape, which after each victim the arthropod returns to its original position, repairing damage. Most often, female gray and black spiders hunt for small insects in the house.

An interesting species of domestic arthropods are vagrants. They can be distinguished by their elongated body and long legs. The main feature of spiders is the absence of cobwebs. They don't need it for hunting. Tramps attack the victim in a jump, instantly paralyze it with poison, and then actively eat it. Predators do not stay in one house for a long time.

For humans, the poison of vagabonds is not dangerous, given the peculiarities of our climate. In hot climates, spider venom can cause skin inflammation.

In addition to the arthropods listed above, other types of them may appear in the house, but this does not happen so often.

Spider in the house: good or bad

Spiders are not pets. They live in wildlife, but they may well settle in a house or apartment if the living conditions are suitable for them, and food is readily available. By understanding what spiders eat, you can prevent them from appearing in your home. Favorite arthropod treats:

• mosquitoes;
• cockroaches;
• flies.

The answer to why there are many spiders in the apartment is simple - the more of these insects in the house, the more hunters for them will appear. The solution to the problem is simple - to toughen up cleaning, including in hard-to-reach places.

How spiders enter the house

In an apartment or house, arthropods appear, penetrating:

• through the windows;
• through the doors;
• through the attic;
• through the basement;
• on clothes;
• on flowers or purchased plants brought from the street.

How good it is, or vice versa, is bad for a person, and the main thing is whether it is necessary to kill uninvited "guests", if the fate is that spiders actively reproduce, littering the house with cobwebs and traces of vital activity. In fact, a lot depends on the superstition of the home owners.

If they believe in omens, then most likely they consider spiders to be symbols of good luck, income, success. However, the signs associated with spiders are not always positive. Many, not knowing for sure whether the spiders in the house are good or bad, believe that they can bring bad luck, illness, and even provoke adultery.

Is it necessary to exterminate arthropods

Cobweb-covered corners, windows and ceiling look messy. If there are a lot of spiders in the house, then the cleaning there is poorly done, ignoring hard-to-reach places. That is why, when asked whether it is necessary to look for a remedy for spiders, the answer will be in the affirmative. It is possible and necessary to fight arthropods, but it is better to do it humanely, especially if the goal is not to harm living beings.

The most humane method is to mechanically remove the spider from the house. Arthropods are manually collected in a jar or on a scoop, carried away from home, monitored for cleanliness in the house, preventing their further appearance.

On the street, spiders winter under the foliage, in warm corners behind the bark of trees, so you can release them from home at any time of the year.

Chemical preparations for arthropods - which ones to choose?

Considering how long spiders live (usually no more than a year), one might think that it is pointless to fight them. Nevertheless, one must remember about the ability of arthropods to actively reproduce. The new generation of spiders will replace the old one so quickly that it will be almost impossible to achieve cleanliness in the house without cobwebs and dry bodies of their victims without special means.

The most effective chemicals are considered:

• "Butox 50".
• Dry trap tablets.

"Butox 50" is a simple and affordable product, easy to use. Apply it after carefully studying the instructions on the package. To achieve the result, it is enough to spray the surfaces where spiders are often found, first preventing the entry clean air through windows and doors. After the end of the action, the room is ventilated.

The drug "Nero" enjoys well-deserved trust among specialists. Just as in the previous case, it is necessary to study the instructions for using the tool. In places where food, children's toys, utensils are stored, the product is used with extreme caution, protecting vulnerable things and products with film.

An alternative to aerosols often with a pungent odor will be tablets, they are also traps. Produced in dry form, they lure spiders, after which they are poisoned with poison. The method is simple and effective, but far from humane.

How to deal with spiders using folk methods

Folk remedies and methods will help in the fight against spiders, if the case is not neglected. The simplest method, as noted above, is to get rid of the food source of arthropods: cockroaches, midges, mosquitoes and other insects. Do not feel sorry for the cobwebs woven by predators in the corners of the house. It is better to clean it with a damp cloth, capturing spiders along with it.

In a private house, with an abundance of vegetation under windows and in the yard, it makes sense to use it in the fight against spiders boric acid... A special effect can be achieved by combining acid with a vacuum cleaner, which can easily remove all spiders, including those from hard-to-reach places.

Spiders are believed to dislike the scent of citrus, chestnuts, and hazelnuts. If you place food particles with odors they hate around the house, especially in places of accumulation, you can achieve a deterrent effect.

Not the easiest, but effective method- repairs in the house. Spiders do not tolerate the smell of paint, whitewash, putty. Replacing the floor, wallpaper, followed by general cleaning will get rid of arthropods for a long time and help to freshen up the interior.

Another folk remedy for domestic arthropods is mint. Even a small amount of a fragrant plant spread out in the corners of the house will scare away spiders. To enhance the effect, use peppermint aromatic oil sprayed through a spray bottle around the house in the habitat of spiders. You can achieve the same effect with eucalyptus or tea tree oil.

Spiders belong to the animal kingdom, but everyone is accustomed to the fact that they are insects, so we will also sometimes call them that. Most often, spiders do not settle next to humans, but they have adapted to peaceful coexistence nearby for a long time. Now at least a tiny spider lives in every home. About 42,000 species of spiders live on the entire planet, most of them in territories with warm climate... In the CIS countries and Russia, there are less than three thousand species of spiders, but many of them weave their webs in a person's dwelling, most often in dark inaccessible corners. With the appearance of spiders in the house, many signs are associated and we could not ignore this topic.

Signs - a spider in the house

If spiders are wound up in an apartment, many people, on the one hand, feel disgust and even fear, on the other, they think about killing the spider in the apartment or leaving it, or maybe taking it out into the street? This is due to many superstitions and signs.

• Why do spiders appear in the apartment? According to popular belief to prosperity and early success.
• If suddenly a spider falls on a hand or head - this is a profit and money.
• If you saw a spider descending along a thread, a sign portends an imminent arrival at your house of guests or a letter.
• But if spiders in the house (which is time to get used to and not be surprised) are found at night, you need to wait for unpleasant events.
• If the spider in the apartment weaves a web right above the sleeping place. What does it mean? This is also useless, most likely the owners will suffer failures and illnesses.
• Many people wonder if spiders can be killed? According to folk wisdom killing a spider leads to misfortune and misfortune. But just imagine if your room is all entangled in cobwebs, insects will fall into a plate of food, crawl over you at night. More than an unpleasant picture. So do not torment yourself with the question of why it is impossible to kill a spider, especially according to another version, for this, on the contrary, you will get rid of sins.

Whether you believe in omens or not, you still don't need to leave an insect in the house, take it then and throw it out into the street. Now let's take a closer look at this arthropod.

Spiders in the apartment - species, photos

Almost all spiders are predators, their diet consists of small animals and insects. Most often, they hunt with the help of a web, when the victim is caught in the net, the spider injects poison and digestive juice into it, and after a while it sucks out the solution, which is food for them. Usually, the owners will know about the presence of a spider by the appearance of a web. They prefer warmth and dryness, as well as being disturbed as little as possible. Several species of spiders live in the neighborhood of a person. So, what kind of spiders live in an apartment?

Spider - haymaker

A long-stem, a window spider or a haymaker has a round or oval abdomen that is small up to one centimeter, 6 or 8 legs up to five centimeters long. Its nets are randomly located in the corners, near the windows, often hanging upside down. Insects, getting into the web, get stuck in it more and more. The spider lies in wait for the victim and, after injecting poison, leaves it in reserve or eats it.

Gray and black house spider

Small spiders in the apartment are black or gray spiders. Their total size is about 14 mm. Their web resembles a pipe, after the victim damages the network, they restore it, so you can often see not just a mesh, but complex weaving patterns. As a rule, the female is waiting for the prey.

Spider - tramp

The tramp has an oval body and large legs. A distinctive feature of the species is the absence of cobwebs. The spider attacks the victim, injects its poison, eats it and goes on. He does not stay anywhere for a long time. In Russia given view spiders are safe, and in the tropics, secretions from their glands lead to poisoning and skin problems.

Jumping spider

If a jumping spider is wound up in the apartment, this is a jumping jack. It differs in that it has 8 eyes arranged in three rows. The pattern on the body is varied, as well as the colors. Easy to move on glass, thanks to small claws and hairs on the legs. By the way, he is a vegetarian and only eats acacia.

The rest of the species of these arthropods are very rare in houses and do not settle next to humans.

Where do spiders come from in an apartment

In old houses, spiders occupy attics and basements, and from there they make their way into other rooms.

Are spiders dangerous

All (with rare exceptions) spiders are poisonous. But the harm from the bites of spiders living in our apartments for humans is minimal, thanks to the small fragile structure of the body and small fangs. After a karakurt bite, the human body will undergo neurotoxic effects. And the biggest danger from domestic species is necrosis. But most often, neither inflammation nor intoxication occurs. The bite site only needs to be treated with an alcohol-containing agent or hydrogen peroxide.

How to get rid of spiders

Before thinking about how to get rid of spiders in the house, you should find out who serves as a source of food for them, who needs to be taken out for the company with arthropods. Spider control is not always done with pesticides. Try simple and effective methods to get started, as they do not form colonies or multiply at a record rate.

• Find out the cause of the spiders and start fighting small insects.
• Remove the cobwebs with a broom or vacuum cleaner. Do not forget to empty the contents of the bin outside, otherwise the spider will get out and continue to weave its nets. The simplest device for collecting cobwebs is a stick with a rag wound around it.
• If there are too many spiders, they managed to lay eggs, which should be looked for in secluded places, for example, on furniture from the side of the walls. Sweep them out and flush them down the drain.
• Fill cracks and crevices, glue wallpaper where necessary, install mosquito nets and nets on the ventilation grilles.
• Regular cleaning will prevent the appearance of spiders.
• After repair, usually not a single spider remains, since the smell of paints and varnishes is unbearable for them.
• Pungent smells of chestnut, hazelnuts and oranges, mint, eucalyptus scare off spiders. You can crush the fruits and scatter them around the room, or add drops of the substance to the spray bottle and spray the apartment regularly.
• Scatter diatomite on the baseboards, getting on this substance, the insect quickly dies.
• Plain vinegar is highly effective. Add a few drops of vinegar to the water, pour into containers and place around the apartment.

Spider chemicals in the apartment

If the number of spiders in your home has become frighteningly large, no use chemicals not enough. Multipurpose aerosols against spiders are ineffective. Use household pyrethroid medications. Be careful not to forget about safety measures when spraying and follow the directions. Also remember that the poison only works when it gets on the spider's body.

A well-proven remedy that is suitable for combating spiders - "Dobrokhim FOS". The drug is an acaricidal agent that allows you to destroy arachnid animals with a 100% guarantee. The product is safe for people, but acts on insects with lethal force.

Easy to use "Butoks 50". The drug is sprayed where there are especially many spiders, left for 20 minutes, then the room is ventilated and cleaned. If you decide to use "Neoron", be careful, it is very dangerous to use it near food products.

It so happens that the use of aerosols is impossible for any reason - small children, pets, and so on. Then it is advisable to use pills - traps, inside which the poison is placed. In addition to other methods of struggle, it is recommended to place glue traps in corners, behind cabinets, under low furniture.

To prevent such a problem as there are many spiders in the apartment, regularly carry out high-quality cleaning, ventilate and knock out mattresses and pillows - so there will be less dust at home. Rinse out lighting fixtures, pay more attention to hard-to-reach places - in corners, under furniture, in closets, especially if you rarely use them. And remember that the spider is more of a useful creature than a pest, so let all methods of struggle be sparing.

Big spider in the apartment

The spider (Latin Araneae) belongs to the type of arthropods, the class arachnids, the order of spiders. Their first representatives appeared on the planet about 400 million years ago.

Spider - description, characteristics and photos.

The body of arachnids consists of two parts:

• The cephalothorax is covered with a carapace of chitin, with four pairs of long articulated legs. In addition to them, there is a pair of leg-tentacles (pedipalps) used by sexually mature individuals for mating, and a pair of short limbs with poisonous hooks - chelicera. They are part of oral apparatus... The number of eyes in spiders ranges from 2 to 8.
• The abdomen with respiratory openings located on it and six arachnoid warts for weaving a cobweb.

The size of spiders, depending on the species, ranges from 0.4 mm to 10 cm, and the span of the limbs can exceed 25 cm.

Coloring and drawing on individuals different kind depend on the structural structure of the integument of scales and hairs, as well as the presence and localization of various pigments. Therefore, spiders can have both a dull one-color and a bright color of various shades.

Spider species, names and photos.

Scientists have described more than 42,000 species of spiders. About 2900 species are known on the territory of the CIS countries. Let's consider several varieties:

Tarantula blue-green (lat.Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens)- one of the most spectacular and beautiful spiders in color. The abdomen of the tarantula is red-orange, the limbs are bright blue, the carapace is green. The dimensions of the tarantula are 6-7 cm, with a leg span of up to 15 cm. The spider is native to Venezuela, but this spider is found in Asian countries and on the African continent. Despite belonging to tarantulas, this type of spider does not bite, but only throws special hairs located on the abdomen, and even then in case of severe danger. For humans, the hairs are not dangerous, but they cause minor burns on the skin, similar in effect to a nettle burn. Surprisingly, female chromatopelms are long-lived in comparison with males: the life span of a female spider is 10-12 years, while males live only 2-3 years.

Flower spider (lat.Misumena vatia) belongs to the family of sidewalk spiders (Thomisidae). Coloring ranges from absolutely white to bright lemon, pink or greenish. Male spiders are small, 4-5 mm long, females reach sizes of 1-1.2 cm. The species of flower spiders is widespread throughout European territory (excluding Iceland), found in the USA, Japan, and Alaska.

Argiope Brunnich or wasp spider (lat.Argiope bruennichi) - a spider with an unusual color of the body and limbs - in a yellow-black-white strip, for which it received its name. True, males of a wasp spider are not so bright, and are inferior in size to females: "young ladies" reach a size of 2.5 cm, and with their paws - 4 cm, but the male rarely grows more than 7 mm in length. The species is widespread in Europe, Asia and southern Russia, the Volga region and North Africa. The argiope spider lives in meadows with an abundance of grass, on the edges of the forest. Argiopa's web is very strong, so it is difficult to break it, it will only stretch under pressure.

Hunter limb (Latin Dolomedes fimbriatus) widespread on the Eurasian continent and occurs along the shores of reservoirs with stagnant or very slowly flowing water. Often settles in swampy meadows, shady forests or gardens with high humidity. The body length of the female of the limped hunter varies from 14 to 22 mm, the male is smaller and rarely larger than 13 mm. The color of spiders of this species is usually yellowish-brown or almost black, with light yellow or white stripes running along the sides of the abdomen.

(Latin Lycosa tarantula)- a species of spiders belonging to the family of wolf spiders (Latin Lycosidae).

The dimensions of the tarantula are impressive - up to 7 cm in length, individuals are usually colored red, less often in brown tones, on the body there are several transverse stripes of light color and one longitudinal.

Spiked orb-web spider or " horned spider» (lat.Gasteracantha cancriformis) distributed in the tropics and subtropics, in the southern part of the United States, in Central America, in the Philippines, in Australia. The size of the female is 5-9 mm, the width reaches 10-13 mm. Males are 2-3 mm long. The legs of the spiked spider are short, and there are 6 spines along the edges of the abdomen.

Males attract females with their beautiful outfit. The peacock spider lives in Australia - Queensland and New South Wales.

Smiling spider (lat.theridion grallator) or a spider with a happy face is completely harmless to humans. Inhabits this unusual spider in the Hawaiian Islands. Its body length is 5 mm. The color of the spider can be varied - pale, yellow, orange, blue. This species feeds on small ones, and the bright color of the individual helps to confuse enemies, especially birds.

Black Widow (lat.Latrodectus mactans) Is very dangerous and venomous species spiders. Lives in Australia, North America, and also found in Russia. The size of females reaches 1 cm, males are much smaller. The body of the black widow is black in color, and on the abdomen there is a characteristic red hourglass-shaped spot. Males are brown in color with white stripes. The bite is deadly.

Karakurt (lat. Latrodectus tredecimguttatus) Is kind of deadly poisonous spiders from a kind of black widows. The female karakurt measures 10-20 mm, the male is much smaller and has a size of 4-7 mm. On the belly of this scary spider there are 13 red spots. In some species, the spots have edging. Some sexually mature individuals are devoid of spots and have a completely black shiny body. Lives in Kyrgyzstan, in the Astrakhan region, in the countries Central Asia, in the south of Russia, Ukraine, in the Black Sea and Azov regions, in the south of Europe, in North Africa. Also karakurt was seen in Saratov region, Volgograd region, Orenburg region, Kurgan region, in the south of the Urals.

Spiders are ubiquitous and ubiquitous. the globe... They do not live only in areas where the surface of the earth all year round hidden under the ice shell. The number of species in countries with humid and hot climates is greater than in temperate or cold ones. With the exception of a few species, spiders are terrestrial inhabitants and live in built nests or burrows, showing activity at night.

Tarantula spiders and other species of migalomorphic spiders live in the crowns of equatorial trees and bushes. "Drought tolerant" spider species prefer burrows, crevices, and any shelter at ground level. For example, digging spiders (atypical tarantulas) live in colonies settled in individual burrows, located at a depth of 50 cm. Some species of migalomorphic spiders close their holes with special shutters made of soil, vegetation and silk.

Side walk spiders (crab spiders) spend most of their life sitting on flowers, waiting for prey, although some members of the family can be found on the bark of trees or forest litter.

Members of the funnel spider family locate their webs on tall grass and bush branches.

Wolf spiders prefer damp, grassy meadows and swampy woodland, where they are found in abundance among the fallen leaves.

The water (silver) spider builds a nest under water, attaching it with cobwebs to various bottom objects. It fills its nest with oxygen and uses it as a diving bell.

What do spiders eat?

Spiders are quite original creatures that feed very interestingly. Some species of spiders may not eat for a long time - from a week to a month or even a year, but if they start, then little will remain. Interestingly, the weight of food that all spiders can eat during the year is several times more than the mass of the entire population living on the planet in our time.
How and what do spiders eat? Depending on the species and size, spiders forage and eat in different ways. Some spiders weave webs, thereby organizing ingenious traps that are very difficult for insects to notice. Digestive juice is injected into the caught prey, eating away at it from the inside. After a while, the "hunter" draws the resulting "cocktail" into the stomach. Other spiders "spit" during the hunt with sticky saliva, thereby attracting prey to themselves. Beetles and orthoptera, and some species are able to drag them into their home or earthworm and eat them there.
The queen spider hunts only at night, creating a gooey spider-web bait for unwary moths. Noticing an insect next to the bait, the spinning queen quickly shakes the thread with her paws, thereby attracting the attention of the victim. A moth happily winds around such a bait, and when it touches it, it immediately remains hanging on it. As a result, the spider can calmly attract it to itself and enjoy its prey.

Large tropical tarantula spiders happily hunt small frogs

Aquatic species of spiders get their food from the water, catching themselves with the help of a web of tadpoles, small fish or midges floating on the surface of the water. Some spiders, which are predators, due to the lack of prey, can also get enough plant food, which can be attributed to pollen or plant leaves. Hay spiders prefer cereal grains.

Judging by the numerous notes of scientists, a huge number of spiders destroy small rodents and insects several times more than animals living on the planet.

Spiders in a large number live in nature. Quite often, they appear in people's homes, which arouses not only interest, but also fear based on the fact that these insects can cause serious harm to health.
