Let’s talk about the gentler way to evict spiders. When you see one, don’t squish it—vacuum it up. The vacuum is the Swiss Army knife of spider removal. It sucks them up without making a mess, and you can immediately empty the canister outside.
Pro tip: vacuum behind heavy furniture and in closet corners weekly. Spiders prefer “low-traffic” areas, like that shelf you never dust. (No judgment—I have that shelf too.) Just do it. Your future self will thank you at 2 a.m.
