Spiders love clutter. Cardboard boxes, piles of newspapers, stacks of old shoes—all of it is prime real estate for a spider hotel. If your home sparks joy, it’s less likely to spark spider interest.
Keep things off the floor, especially in basements, attics, and garages. Use plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes, because plastic is harder for spiders to climb into. It’s like making your storage space a fortress.
And here’s a weird tip: shake out your shoes before putting them on. Seriously. Spiders love dark, warm places like sneakers. This one simple habit can save you from a very awkward morning surprise.
