"Spider season" is coming. Why are the British so worried?

Because Britain has a temperate maritime climate and it often rains, the environment in Britain is relatively humid and moist. At the same time, this humid environment is very popular with spiders, especially in warm summer, many spiders will come out to move, and you can see many spiders crawling around the house, by the window, on the trees and on the lawn.

Scientific American magazine has selected the top ten things that human beings are most afraid of, among which reptile spiders are impressively listed, indicating that human beings are very afraid of spiders. And in ancient times, our ancestors were particularly afraid of this poisonous spider. This fear has been rooted in our genes and has not been erased until now.

Therefore, it is inevitable and reasonable for the British to feel worried and afraid in the face of the menacing and huge spider swarms crawling around the house. Among them, there are more than 37,000 kinds of spiders in this world. Among these spiders, some are poisonous and some are nontoxic. Some spiders are highly toxic, such as the venom of the Mediterranean, the black widow spider and the cave tarantula in Australia, which is harmful to people and animals, and even their venom can kill people. But some spiders are less toxic, and their toxicity will not cause much harm to human beings. Therefore, in the face of this spider season, the British are also very afraid of meeting poisonous spiders. At the same time, spiders will accidentally fall into food at home, which is very unsanitary.

? ? But many common spiders in Britain are non-toxic, such as blind spiders, zebra jumping spiders, Li Chu spiders and other common spiders at home are non-toxic, and they will not cause harm to human body. So people living in Britain should not be too afraid that these spiders will hurt people.

Then how to deal with the spider explosion at home. First, make sure the house is clean and tidy, then clean the spider web on the ceiling in time, spray the floor of the house with low-toxic lime water, and wait for a few days to deal with it. At the same time, because spiders have a keen sense of smell, they can sprinkle sulfur to prevent spiders from moving in their homes. In addition, even though human fear of spiders is deep-rooted, it should be admitted that spiders are natural enemies of pests in farmland on the one hand, and in this respect, they are also beneficial to human beings.
