Spiders love clutter the way a raccoon loves a tipped-over trash can. Piles of cardboard boxes, old newspapers, and forgotten shoes are spider condos—all-you-can-eat buffets for silverfish and ants, which are spider groceries. Move stuff away from walls, and for heaven’s sake, stop storing firewood indoors.
If you have a basement that looks like a hoarder’s art project, consider it a spider paradise. Vacuum regularly—not just for dust, but because a vacuum is the spider’s own personal tornado. One pass and they’re gone, swirling into the noisy void.
