Spiders in the apartment - types, 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 sucks out the solution, which is food for them. Usually, owners learn about the presence of a spider by the appearance of a web. They prefer warmth and dryness, and to be disturbed as little as possible. Several species of spiders live in the neighborhood of humans. So, what kind of spiders live in an apartment?

Spider - haymaker

The centipede, window spider or haymaker has a small round or oval abdomen up to one centimeter, 6 or 8 legs up to five centimeters long. Its nets are randomly located in corners, near windows, and often hang upside down. Insects, falling into a web, become increasingly stuck in it. The spider lies in wait for the victim and, after injecting the 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 web, they restore it, so you can often see not just a mesh, but complex weaving patterns. As a rule, the female waits for prey.

Spider is a hobo

The tramp has an oval body and large paws. A distinctive feature of the species is the absence of a web. The spider attacks the victim, injects its poison, eats it and moves on. He doesn't stay anywhere for long. In Russia, this type of spider is safe, but in the tropics, the secretion released from their glands leads to poisoning and skin problems.

Jumping spider

If there is a jumping spider in your apartment, it is a jumping spider. Its difference is that it has 8 eyes arranged in three rows. The patterns on the body are varied, as are the colors. It moves easily on glass thanks to its small claws and hairs on its paws. By the way, he is a vegetarian and eats only acacia.

The remaining species of these arthropods are found very rarely in houses and do not settle near 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 is minimal for humans, thanks to their small, fragile body structure and small fangs. After a karakurt bite, the human body will be subject to 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 product or hydrogen peroxide.

How to get rid of spiders

Before you think about how to get rid of spiders in the house, you should find out who serves as their food source, and who needs to be kept in company with arthropods. Fighting spiders does not always happen with the help of pesticides. To begin with, try simple and effective methods, as they do not form colonies and do not multiply at record speed.

  • Find out the reason for the appearance of spiders and start fighting small insects.
  • Get rid of cobwebs with a broom or vacuum cleaner. Don't forget to empty the contents of the garbage disposal outside, otherwise the spider will get out and continue to weave its webs. The simplest device for collecting cobwebs is a stick with a rag wrapped around it.
  • If there are too many spiders, they have time to lay eggs, which you need to look for in secluded places, for example, on furniture near the walls. Sweep them up and flush them down the drain.
  • Seal cracks and crevices, glue wallpaper where necessary, install mosquito nets and screens on ventilation grilles.
  • Regular cleaning will prevent the appearance of spiders.
  • After repairs, usually not a single spider remains, since the smell of paint and varnish materials is unbearable for them.
  • Spiders are repelled by the pungent smells of chestnuts, hazelnuts and oranges, mint, and eucalyptus. You can crush the fruits and scatter them around the room or add drops of the substance to a spray bottle and spray the apartment regularly.
  • Sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the baseboards; when the insect gets on it, it quickly dies.
  • Regular vinegar is highly effective. Add a few drops of vinegar to the water, pour into containers and place around the apartment.

Chemical repellents for spiders in the apartment

If the number of spiders in your home has become alarmingly large, you cannot do without the use of chemicals. Universal aerosols against spiders are ineffective. Use household preparations based on pyrethroids. Be careful when spraying, remember to take safety precautions and follow the instructions. Also remember that the poison only works when it gets on the spider’s body.

A product that is suitable for fighting spiders - “Dobrohim FOS” - has proven itself well. The drug is an acaricidal agent that allows you to destroy arachnids with a 100% guarantee. The product is safe for people, but has a lethal effect on insects.


Easy to use Butox 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 near food products.

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

To prevent such a problem as a lot of spiders in the apartment from arising, regularly carry out high-quality cleaning, ventilate and knock out mattresses and pillows - this way there will be less dust at home. Wash 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 control be gentle.

Big spider in the apartment

There are many superstitions about insects, but the most superstitions and superstitions are about spiders. These insects are constant companions of humans. A small spider that does not cause trouble is present in almost every house and apartment. Some believe that such an insect promises only good things, while others, on the contrary, see something wrong with it. Therefore, they try to get rid of his sins away. So let’s figure out what signs there are about spiders and what they tell us.

Spider in a house or apartment

These insects appear in our houses and apartments at any time of the year. They start up completely by accident - they can be blown by the wind or they themselves go down or from above along the ventilation shafts. Then they settle down safely and live in our homes.

The most basic task of any spider is to weave a comfortable web. Most often it can be found in a corner on the ceiling or below near the baseboard. Please note that all the negative energy that lurks in a house or apartment accumulates in these places. And the small insect eats it safely. According to popular superstitions, the insect thus cleanses the house of evil and any negativity.

Folk omens about spiders have different interpretations, depending on the location of the unexpected guest. Remember that it is not recommended to kill the bloodsucker you meet on the way. So, if a spider has settled in an apartment, a sign about this may have a different explanation. Let's consider all cases of the appearance of this harmless insect.

In the bathroom

Remember, a spider in the bathroom is a bad omen. And it doesn’t matter where in the bathroom you find it, or at what time of day – morning, evening or night. It can spin a web both in the corners of the bathroom and end up directly in the bath itself. In any case, you will face a daily routine and stagnation in financial and work matters. But, even despite this sign, you can change your life. You need to analyze your actions, reconsider your plans and priorities.

Seeing a spider in the toilet is a sure sign that small and large troubles await you that will not bring you any benefit. Sometimes the sink is the best place for an unexpected guest. Therefore, if it sank into the sink in the bathroom or toilet, you will have empty and useless expenses and worries. Popular superstitions about spiders state that it is impossible to kill or drown insects that have appeared in the bathroom. As superstitions about spiders say, this is a sign of great grief or misfortune. It’s better to take a broom and carefully sweep it over the threshold of the house.

In the bedroom

Seeing a spider in the bedroom, especially above the marital bed, is not a very good omen. This is a sign that discord will appear between the spouses and their feelings for each other will cool.

If you see a spider that has woven a web under the bed, this is evidence that the person sleeping on this bed will get sick in the near future. Seeing a small spider on your bed or pillow means you will be in big trouble.

But finding an insect and its web in the corner of a child’s room is a good omen. This sign means that your child is protected from the evil eye and any other negativity. If a spider has taken up residence in your child's room, under no circumstances should you remove it. The main thing you need to do is to secure your child’s sleeping place in order to eliminate fright and fear at the sight of an insect. After all, you can often observe the phenomenon of an insect descending from the ceiling above the bed.

Of course, you can kill him, but you don’t need to do this, otherwise your child will lose such strong protection.

In the dining area

Seeing a spider in the kitchen is a folk sign that the owners of the house lack affection, warmth, love and mutual understanding. If a brown or black spider falls from the ceiling onto the dining table, this is a sure sign that your family has people who wish you harm and misfortune. Perhaps they are close relatives. Seeing a spider suddenly falling on the table is evidence that someone is conducting intrigues and gossip about you. If your family sees him aggressively running around the table, and it is simply impossible to catch him, this means that in the near future you will change your apartment to a new one or another.

A black or white spider in a cup, mug or glass on the table is a double sign. It was not without reason that it fell into an empty or filled container of water on the table - unexpected news awaits you. This can be both good and bad news that can radically change your life.

On the doors

Folk omens about spiders, which can be found in a house on the entrance or interior door, are all good. It doesn’t matter whether the spider is red, green, yellow or black, whether it climbs up the door or descends from the ceiling onto the door - big profits await you.

There are other signs about house spiders on the door. If a black spider falls from the front door onto the threshold, expect bad news or a terrible disaster. This phenomenon indicates that someone close to you will become very ill or die.

Seeing a spider crawling upward on the front door means that all the problems that you have accumulated will soon be resolved.

From time immemorial, signs about small spiders found in the house or on the threshold of the house indicated the presence of strong protection of the keeper of the hearth - the brownie. A massive invasion of spiders was a sign of well-being, comfort and prosperity in the family. But it’s not always the case that a spider in the house portends something good or bad for the owners. Unsanitary conditions and irregular household cleaning can also cause a spider to come into your home or appear on your doorstep. Sometimes there is one, and sometimes there can be many.

On the window

A spider making a web on a window or windowsill is not a rare phenomenon. Nevertheless, such signs about spiders are associated with different interpretations, depending on where the web is located and which spider made it - gray, red or black. It will also be important whether this insect is large or small. So, if you don’t have a significant other, but quite by chance you notice how a spider has descended on a window in a room or on a balcony with a glass frame, you should clearly determine where exactly it has made its web. After all, it is the cobweb network that will help you determine from which direction your lover will arrive to you. So, if the network is retinue:

  • in the upper right corner of the window - east side;
  • on the top left side - this means you can meet your betrothed who arrived from the north;
  • below on the right side - south;
  • The lower left corner of the window is west.

The most unpleasant outcome is to meet a spider on the window, which has made a web in the center. This is a sure sign that you will not have to meet your fate soon.

A spider in the house and a sign on the inside of the window indicate that soon you will have guests with a lot of money with very good presents and gifts. It is possible that they are already on their way to you. You will have good communication with them and a not very desirable parting. Perhaps these will be close relatives.

If a spider is outside the window and has settled there safely, this portends separation for you. A black spider portends a long separation; if it is a white or red bloodsucker, then the separation will be short-lived.

Elsewhere in the house

Where else can you find a spider and what folk signs exist about it, read on.

On the ceiling

It is quite common for spiders to live on the ceiling. From what they do in this place of the room and where exactly they are located, the following values ​​can be determined:

  1. If you notice several insects or one sitting quietly on the ceiling, motionless, this is a sign that you will soon receive good news or a letter.
  2. If an insect weaves a web, it means your abode is filled with comfort and a good aura, and it will be like this all the time. If you see such an insect in the process of weaving nets, immediately make a wish. Then see if it creeps up - the wish will come true, but if down - not.
  3. A spider that suddenly fell from the ceiling is right before your eyes - expect something pleasant and good in your life. If after that he crawled sluggishly and unwillingly, there will be good news, but not very soon.

On a wall or floor surface

The spider has dropped to the floor and is moving towards you - evidence of approaching good luck in business; it is running away from you - taking away good luck and luck.

If an insect crawls up the wall - you will be showered with money; if it falls down - expect great financial waste and money problems.

A spider hiding in a secluded place, for example in a hole, means there is negativity in your house.

Signs of spider behavior

People believe that signs about spiders encountered can be interpreted not only by the place of their appearance, but also by their behavior in the home. Whether a spider weaves a web, descends or rises, sits motionless on the floor or on a wall - all this has its meaning. Let's consider each case in detail.

So, if spiders appear in your house, carefully monitor their behavior. It will help you determine many things:

  1. If you encounter a crawling spider in a house on a wall or on the floor, great luck and profit await you. Therefore, under no circumstances should you kill him; carefully take him out into the street. And it’s even better if he lives in your house for a while, so as not to miss out on the big jackpot that awaits you. Especially if it is a big red or ginger spider, it will definitely give you a lot of money. The sign - seeing a spider crawling upwards means that you will be able to improve your activities at work (possibly a promotion up the career ladder). Seeing a running spider on the floor or wall in a house is a bad omen. Such an insect leaves and takes your wealth and money with it.
  2. The sign of a spider crawling up the wall means only good and joyful news awaits you. A large spider means big changes and news, a small one means expect small pleasant news. Seeing him go down is worth waiting for bad news.
  3. If a web spider descends right in front of your face, guests will soon come to you. Moreover, these can be both distant and close relatives and friends. And it doesn’t matter whether this phenomenon is in winter or summer, in the morning or in the evening. This does not change the meaning. Also, a spider descending in front of your face, or has already descended onto your shoulder along your neck - all this indicates good news. It has the same meaning if you find an insect in your hair. But a hanging spider in front of you is not a very good omen. Some problems or bad news await you. A cobweb and a spider crawling up it in front of your face are a sign of good events that will happen in the near future. Seeing the cross going down is bad news.
  4. If in the evening a small spider hides in the apartment, runs into a corner or other secluded place, you should expect the weather to worsen the next day. Precipitation, dampness and high humidity outside are possible. To see several spiders crawling out to hunt at night means the weather will be sunny and warm the next day.
  5. A large spider weaves a web from above or below - it weaves prosperity, wealth and financial well-being for you. Surely such a sign will come true if you noticed him in the process of crawling through his network. For such a person, this may also mean a big win in the lottery, receiving a large inheritance, etc.

For some reason, most people are afraid of these tiny insects, which essentially do not harm anyone. As soon as the spider crawls into the house, people try to crush it. What you simply cannot do. Only folk signs of seeing a spider weaving a web on an icon are considered especially dangerous for humans. Therefore, such an insect is not only possible, but also necessary to kill. In other cases, remove the web that the spider has made and carefully take it outside with it.

Signs based on the color and size of the spider

  1. A black insect promises you only failures and failures, both in your personal and public life. The brown spider has exactly the same meaning. If such a spider bites you, someone wants to do something bad to you, and possibly to your entire family.
  2. A white spider means that mutual and lasting love will soon await you, as well as a pleasant date with a young man.
  3. Gray, like yellow, is a sign that a quarrel or separation from your loved one awaits you.
  4. Red or fiery red - to big money and success in work. Many pleasant changes await you.
  5. Green - you may be waiting for a big profit in monetary terms.

Depending on the time of day

Finding a small hunter at different times of the day also has different interpretations among people.

If you find a predatory insect in the morning, you can assume that your day will be useless and irrational.

In the pre-lunch time, i.e., during the day, a spider that appears promises minor troubles and problems. Finding an insect after lunch is a high probability that you will soon meet your love.

Seeing a spider in the evening is a good omen associated with money through winning the lottery or gambling. Perhaps you will receive a profitable job or an expensive gift. In general, there will be a lot of pleasant things for me and for you personally.

If you see a spider at night while sleeping near your own bed, get ready for troubles and unpleasant news the next morning.

On the human body

Finding an insect on yourself, for example, on your head, leg or arm, is not uncommon. A small spider descending on your head and entangled in your hair means expect a speedy reward, possibly for the work done.

A spider on your hand will bring you prosperity and well-being to your home. A bride who discovered an insect on herself, or rather on her veil, is a sure sign of a happy married life.

A spider on a person’s clothes or shoes - expect a business trip or trip in the near future. Also, a spider on clothes is evidence of upcoming new things. It should be carefully removed from the head, clothing or shoes and transferred to another place. After all, you can miss your luck in two ways. It turns out like with an egg: it’s easy to drop, but it’s almost impossible to collect the broken one.

Other beliefs and signs

Considering that this insect can be found anywhere - on the street, at work in the office or on the road, people have different signs about this.

Spider in the office

If you encounter a spider at your workplace, this is a very good sign. You will either be promoted up the career ladder, receive a bonus or increase your salary. But such an outcome is only possible if the insect crawls towards you or climbs up the wall.

If a small spider falls directly on your desktop, be careful, one of the employees is “sharpening a grudge against you.”

In the car

This small insect can climb anywhere, even into a car. When you see him in your car, you need to notice in which direction he will crawl. Here are some meanings:

  1. Seeing an insect in a car near the windshield or in a neighbor’s chair - in this case there are two possible explanations. If he crawls towards you, it means there will be profit, but from you - failure.
  2. A big spider in the car will give you a lot of money, a small one seems like a small profit.
  3. If a spider in a car climbs up on you, rest assured that you will soon have a lot of money. It doesn’t matter whether it is on an arm, a leg or another part of the body, the sign will work without fail.
  4. If a spider has made a web right above your head in a car, it means your guardian angel is protecting you from all negativity and bad people.

And one more important point - if you find a spider in your car, it is almost always good luck. The exception is the black spider, which promises you troubles and troubles. The main thing is that while driving a car it does not fall off and end up on your head, which can cause you to lose control while driving.

What not to do in the evening, signs and superstitions.

Outdoors

There are various signs associated with a spider on the street. Here are a few of them:

  1. Accidentally touching a web and getting entangled in it is a sign of endless troubles and problems in the future.
  2. If a spider's web accidentally ends up in your hand, it will be a pleasant and useful meeting with an old friend or comrade.
  3. A cobweb clinging to clothing - expect wealth and prosperity in the family.
  4. The spider has descended and sits in the center of the web - the weather will be clear, it begins to hide - towards precipitation.
  5. An insect crawling on the grass means you will soon have a pleasant trip.
  6. An insect descending right in front of your face, perhaps from a tree, means that you will be very lucky.
  7. The most dangerous sign is a dead spider. This sign speaks of big troubles ahead. It’s no longer possible to kill him, but you also shouldn’t crush him away from your sins, since he will take all your luck with him. Especially if it is a black spider, many signs about spiders of this color are always negative and unfavorable for humans.

As we have already found out, a spider in an apartment is a good omen! The most important rule is that when you see a spider, you should not be afraid of it, much less drive it away or destroy it. After all, it may be that in this way you drive away money, luck, love and success.

All the signs about spiders say that the larger the individual, the more pronounced its influence. However, they also pay attention to the number of arthropods seen. Sometimes see a lot of small spiders, is a sign of more serious events than a meeting with one major one.

An encounter with spiders may well occur on the street. Get caught in a big web, - bad sign. According to popular belief, this promises a lot of minor troubles.

At the same time, if slightly touch a cobweb, is a good omen. Soon I will meet with an old friend.

If a cobweb has undetectedly attached to your clothing, and it was found only at home - a sign of wealth. The same applies to a spider that has climbed onto clothing on the street.

Kill the spider, is a very bad omen, foreshadowing a loss of luck, money problems and an exacerbation of an old illness. Trouble will overtake not only the killer himself, but also all members of his family. It’s not for nothing that people say: “If you want to live and be healthy, don’t you dare kill a spider.”

One who, out of fear or ignorance accidentally killed a spider, must say three times: “Forgive what I have done, grant forgiveness, find peace, do not take revenge on me!”

Even if the appearance of a spider promises big trouble, you should under no circumstances kill it. The spider should be carefully taken outside and released with the words: “Go away, take your troubles and misfortunes with you!”

Kill the spider is allowed only in one case: if he weaves on an icon. In this case, mortification promises the forgiveness of forty sins. It can be assumed that the spider weaving a web on the icon reflects the ungodly moods of the owners who do not attend church, violate the commandments, and adhere to the traditions of black magic. And the spider, by its actions, only emphasizes the uselessness of icons for such people.

In most cases, “meetings” with spiders, according to popular belief, foreshadow good news and good luck. However, the spider is a two-faced creature, since it is connected with the real and other worlds at the same time.

Spiders live in corners - places where spirits and dark forces often hide, and negative energy accumulates. So, they are connected with the other world. They are drawn to the real world by hard work and weaving, symbolizing prosperity. This is why there are so many interpretations of the sign of seeing a spider.

Time of day

Signs and superstitions about spiders can be classified by the time when you meet this insect, as well as by the direction of its movement.

So, seeing a spider in the morning is considered a bad sign. Bad news will surround you on this day.

The opposite will happen if you meet a spider on the street after lunch. The spider will crawl towards those who are especially lucky.

Spider movement

Most often we meet spiders at home. In any case, do not kill the insect, no matter how unpleasant it may be to you. Take the spider outside and let it go its own way.

Most often, seeing a spider at home is considered a good omen, foreshadowing news. However, in order to understand what kind of news awaits you, understand the direction of its movement:

  • the sign of a spider descending and then rising immediately means that good news awaits you;
  • a sign when a spider descends and does not crawl up - to disappointing news;
  • a spider sits on a web - you can make a wish, it will come true if the insect crawls up.
Where and from where?

It is also very important from which place the spider descends and where it settles. So, unexpected guests and cash receipts can be indicated by the descent of a spider from the ceiling straight onto the head of one of the household members. A black spider descending will bring a letter, news.

And a spider “landing” on your hand speaks of monetary profit. A spider crawling on the floor speaks of movement and change. If it creeps away from you, changes will bypass you, if it creeps towards you, vice versa.

Cobwebs

The web of a black spider over the bed often foreshadows betrayal between spouses and separation. But the white spider, located above the bed of an unmarried girl, speaks of new love adventures and connections.

Should I kill the spider?

People believed that if you kill the spider that weaves its webs on icons, you will receive remission of 40 sins. In other cases, the sign of killing a spider only means misfortune.

In any case, no matter what your encounter with this insect portends, no matter how bad it makes you feel, do not kill spiders, because they are not the culprits of what we are destined to experience.

Representatives of the arachnid class are creatures that have lived next to humans for many centuries. But this time was not enough for people to get used to them. They are disliked and feared. Perhaps this was the reason for the appearance of various signs.

Various signs about spiders in the house date back to the era of the ancient Slavs. Most of them deny the possibility of negative consequences associated with their appearance in residential premises. Quite the contrary. Our ancestors were sincerely happy when they could see a spider in the house, because according to the sign, this promised the owners a comfortable existence. It’s not for nothing that the British call one of the species “money spinners.”

The insect will bring special “monetary” luck to someone who accidentally falls on his head. Unexpected wealth or inheritance will also fall on a person’s head. Landing on your hand predicts profit.

Didn’t expect to see a spider in the house on your clothes and don’t know what folk wisdom says you should prepare for after such an encounter? This is a sign of future success; you should not kill such spiders. In other words, the clothes he crawls on will soon be replaced by more expensive clothes.

To make increasing prosperity more likely, our ancestors even put an insect in their pocket.

By the way, “money” superstitions work more effectively if you are dealing with a light-colored arthropod. Why can't you kill these spiders? They are simply harbingers of major victories in the financial and love spheres.

What about bad omens?

Not all encounters with these eight-legged creatures carry a positive message. Do you know what the consequences will be if you see a spider at home in the evening? What happens if he regularly weaves his webs over your bed and is it possible to kill them?

Also, according to folk superstitions, it is undesirable to see a spider in the evening. Such an unexpected meeting in the evening foreshadows troubles and sadness. It is better for the newlyweds to avoid meeting him on their wedding day. Otherwise, this may become a harbinger of a lack of happiness in family life.

I wonder why you can’t kill spiders found in the house? Previously, killing a spider that crawls past was considered the most terrible misfortune according to popular belief. Such an act could save a person from serious sins, but the price for such forgiveness was extremely high. Redemption came only after a misfortune that subsequently befell the “murderer” or his relatives.

The best way to get rid of an uninvited guest who is crawling on your wall or ceiling is to peacefully take him outside the house, and not kill him. After all, now you know why you can’t kill spiders.

Some more interesting superstitions

Even the time of day when the encounter with the insect occurred matters. So, seeing a spider in the morning according to a sign means that your faith in the best will soon be justified. Those who discovered a representative of arthropods in the apartment closer to lunch, such a meeting promised great love.

Why else do spiders appear in an apartment according to signs?

  1. You shouldn’t think about why spiders appear in your house in a negative way, because most superstitions are associated with happiness and well-being. For example, an insect descending down a web symbolizes an imminent meeting with a person whom you have not seen for a long time.
  2. According to the sign, seeing a spider in the bathroom is a sure sign that a moment has come, indicating that it is time to get rid of old things and unnecessary emotions, and also to reconsider your attitude towards life.

  5. According to the sign, a spider that crawls up a web in a bathroom, hallway or any other room promises you good news.
  6. Do not be alarmed if an insect, having climbed down the web, ends up in front of your face. Most likely, in the near future you will come face to face with a person whose meeting will bring a lot of positive emotions.
  7. An arthropod descending along a web over the table during a meal symbolizes the appearance of a serious enemy.

The Indians are completely convinced that this creature with eight legs has the power to weave the destiny of a person with its threads. Therefore, if you find him, you should not be afraid of him, but simply make a wish, put the uninvited guest on a branch and release him into the street.

Should I believe it?

Everyone decides for themselves what to believe. You can simply perceive these arthropods as an integral part of the ecosystem. Or try to predict your future with the help of signs. If they cause you fear, but at the same time you believe in the negative consequences that will certainly occur if it dies through your fault, simply release the insect outside.

However, do not forget that some species are poisonous and their bites are often fatal. Be careful! We are talking about bites of tarantulas and karakurts. The bites of the cross and silverfish are also painful. Now you know why you should not kill poisonous spiders. But in our latitudes these species are practically never found, and most of the spiders living in your neighborhood are harmless.

If we talk about the luck that the appearance of an eight-legged creature in the house can bring you, then you can believe in it. But don’t forget to make your own efforts to achieve your goal.
