First, a little empathy: spiders aren’t plotting against you. They’re just following two basic needs—food and shelter. If your home is a buffet of flies, moths, or ants, you’ve basically hung a neon vacancy sign.
Fun fact: The average house spider eats hundreds of insects a year. So technically, they’re doing you a favor—just not one you asked for. Think of them as the world’s worst pest control, because they don’t clock out.
