Spiders are making a comeback in our homes: how can we stop them?
The return of spiders to our homes in the fall is a recurring phenomenon, and for some, downright distressing. Imagine yourself in the middle of the evening, comfortably settled in, when suddenly this long-legged creature appears, causing screams and frantic heartbeats. But why do these critters choose this particular season to invade our homes? The answer is simple and almost… romantic.
The call of love: an autumn story

The famous house spider, this large spider that can reach up to 6 cm in wingspan, is looking for love. If it is more visible in the fall, it is because the males go on an expedition to find a partner. Usually, these spiders hide in dark places like caves, garages or attics, where they go unnoticed. But autumn, the mating season, pushes them to take risks and venture where they might come across humans, causing encounters often marked by panic. Fortunately, although not very aesthetic and impressive, the spider mites are completely harmless and will flee at the slightest threat.
Should we really fear spiders?
Despite their repulsive appearance, spiders like the spider mites do not pose any danger to humans. In fact, they are even useful: predators of mosquitoes and other unwanted insects, they play an important ecological role. That said, even if they only want our good, their mere presence can be difficult to bear. Fortunately, there are simple and respectful tips to dissuade them from entering your home, without exterminating them.
