Today, the amount of spiders in my house has gotten so bad that it's become routine to shake out any blankets or towels before using them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, and every day for the last ten days, I’ve woken up in the morning and found another new spider somewhere in my room, ten days in a row. I don’t know where the bastards are coming from but I’m seriously considering sleeping in another room, or buying a new house. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that if you leave your sheets on the washing line too long, spiders will go and make their new home in them. FML
Today, some spider must have had babies somewhere in the walls, because every five minutes I seem to find yet another spider on my ceiling, in my cupboards, under the furniture, everywhere. I’m so fed up of smashing them, I’m thinking of getting the house fumigated. FML
Today, the spiders in my house are so big that they catch wasps in their webs. FML
Today, I was taking off my underwear to change into fresh clothes. Pulling them down, I realize there's a big fat spider in them. Not only did I have a spider chilling with my genitals the whole day, but I'm deathly afraid of them. FML
Today, despite years of paranoid checking, I forgot to check my towel for spiders after my shower. Two crawled onto me, and I'm pretty sure there's one somewhere in my hair. FML
Today, I found the same spider which I had let live yesterday hidden in my bath towel. I didn't find it until it was smeared on my face. FML
Today, as I put on my pajamas, a large spider ran down my leg. After freaking out, killing it, and recomposing myself, I went to the bathroom. As I sat down to go to the toilet, I looked up to see hundreds of baby spiders hanging over my head. FML
Today, I had to sleep on couch cushions on the kitchen floor because I saw a tiny spider crawl under my bed. FML
Today, I saw a spider crawling on the floor but had nothing to kill it with and it hid somewhere. So, I got dressed and went out and come home for a shower, and as I'm taking off my undies, something crushed and black fell out. It was the spider and he had been in my underwear the entire day. FML

Predators live where there is food. Rid your house of spider food, and you won't have an inordinate amount of spiders. What's spider food? Other bugs. How do you end up with a bug problem? Being a dirty person who doesn't put away food or leaves out dirty dishes etc. So basically--if you got a huge spider problem, you need to clean up after yourself more.

why didn't you handle the problem before it became this extreme? YDI for not being preventative

Get a cat... Apparently they like eating bugs.

I recommend peppermint oil (they hate that!) and maybe a poisonous substance to them but if you have animals it won't harm them

Where I live, the spiders are just simply worse in some years than others. A good year for other bugs means a year with plenty of spiders. It does not necessarily mean your house is dirty. I did try some home remedies to keep the spiders down, but quickly realized that the commercial bug sprays work best. I only spray the outside of the house, above the reach of the dogs (or young kids if you have them) around all window and door frames, any gaps or corner covers....any dark hole or crevice. If you have any plants against the house, or grow up the side, you may want to consider moving them or cutting them down. Spiders love plants and will move from the plants to your house easily. Hope this helps.
