Spiders appear from time to time in every house and apartment, no matter what floor it is on.

And although it seems to us that these insects pose a threat to us, things are different.

Let's figure out why killing a spider is considered a bad omen for good reason.

Benefits of Spiders in the House

There is no need to remind that many insects are carriers of various diseases that can be dangerous to humans.

However, as for spiders, they, on the contrary, help fight this scourge, because mosquitoes, midges, flies, etc. get caught in the webs of eight-legged insects.

And if you are afraid that the spider living in the corner of your house is poisonous and can bite you, your fears are in vain.

The most common neighbors of humans are the harvestman and web spiders, which are so small that they simply cannot bite through human skin.

However, if you don’t like the forced proximity to insects, it’s better to simply brush away the web and release the spider outside, where it will find a new place to live.
