Spiders are among the most feared creatures.
Humans tend to love, hate, or be fascinated by spiders.
Spiders are one of the most feared and reviled creatures on earth. No one quite knows why we love to hate spiders like we do.
Arachnophobia is real, and there are people who would rather jump off a cliff than take on a spider. But in reality, most spiders are harmless.
There are a few spiders, like the brown recluse and the black widow, which can cause serious harm if they bite. The majority of spiders only bite when threatened and their bites are usually less bothersome than a mosquito or fly bite.
As irrational as it seems, spider fear still exists. Fortunately you can get rid of spiders fairly easily if they scare the bajeebers out of you, and we’ll examine the topic of how to get rid of spiders over the next few posts.
