Letting Spiders Live Can Actually Help Out in Your Home

We’ve all encountered a spider or two in our homes. And in most cases, we kill it as quickly as we found it.

But in actuality, letting those scary-looking creatures live could actually benefit your home. While spiders may send fear down your spine, they play an important part in our indoor ecosystem.

Though most people would like to believe that spiders exist only in nature, they can be found in most homes. Whether accidentally trapped or simply stopping by for an unwelcomed visit, spiders will take up residence in your home.

And while that may seem sinister, it actually is a great thing for your home.

Matt Bertone and his colleagues conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes to determine just exactly what type of arachnids live under people’s roofs. It turns out that every home had spiders crawling around.

The most common species they found were cobweb spiders and cellar spiders—both of which build webs in order to trap potential prey. Cellar spiders take things a step further by mimicking prey in order to trick their cousins into becoming dinner.

So how does letting spiders live benefit your home?

Well, spiders capture nuisance pests and disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes that could pose a potential problem for you and the rest of the inhabitants in your home.

In fact, there’s even a species of jumping spiders that specifically like to dine on blood-filled mosquitoes.

In most cases, spiders present no real harm to humans. So even if you encounter a spider the next time you’re cleaning out your cluttered closet, consider letting it live so that the natural ecosystem can continue thriving.

And if you really can’t stomach the thought of a spider residing in your home, at least capture and release it outside.

Do you have a fear of spiders? What do you do when you encounter one in your home?

Dogs Who Are a Little Annoyed That They Now Have Younger Siblings

Dogs get jealous, too. For real.

You don’t believe me?

Well, you’re about to see photographic evidence of what happens when you introduce a new dog into a home where an older (A.K.A. “original”) dog now has to share their domain with a new, younger pooch.

And a lot of them are NOT feeling it. At all.

I mean, can you blame them?

They’re not the king of the castle anymore…and that’s kind of a bummer…

Let’s take a look at these photos of dogs that are not solely in charge anymore.

1. I can’t get up the stairs!

Now what am I supposed to do?

I heard my older lab crying and came out to find his little brother blocking the stairs. from AnimalsBeingJerks

2. Sarge is not feeling this new situation.

Hang in there, Sarge! You’ll be okay!

Our new dog pepper! Sarge is a little confused though. from aww

3. Who does Mom love more?

Fighting for her affection.

4. Just sitting there and taking it…

It’s time to fight back!

Little brother is so annoying from goldenretrievers

5. Trying hard to be annoyed…

But damn that puppy is adorable!

6. Get this thing outta here!

I can’t take it anymore!

7. Boo is a little crazy right now.

And Dude is trying to deal with it…

8. The stinky side-eye.

Not psyched about this new situation.

9. Have a seat! Anywhere you like!

Not there, though!

Posted by Patti Bueno Jolly on Wednesday, May 13, 2020

10. We got a dogfight on our hands!

Who will be victorious?

11. Ouch! That hurts!

Milo’s a lot bigger than you, so I’d be careful.

My six year old Pyr Milo and his new baby brother Rumi 🙂 from greatpyrenees

12. Can I get in the photo?

Get used to this guy tagging along…

Annoying little brother… from aww

13. Now you’re in big trouble!

That moment when you regret what you started with big brother. from dogpictures

How about you?

Do you have more than one pooch? If so, how do they get along? Is there any jealousy involved.

These Dogs Had Their Ideal Lives Ruined by a Younger Sibling

If you have more than one dog, these photos might look familiar to you.

Because when you get them at separate times, the dog that has seniority is apt to be pretty annoyed…and who can blame them, really?

They HAD a perfect life where all the attention was centered on them and then a new pup is brought in to steal their thunder. They feel a little slighted and they’ll let you know it with a combination of a bad attitude and dirty looks.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be very happy, either.

Let’s take a look at some dogs that are clearly very unimpressed with their new living situations.

1. Well, that was ruined.

The look says it all.

2. You’re stuck with me.

Whether you like it or not.

When you lose the receipt to return your little sister… from lookatmydog

3. Please help me!

It’ll be okay. Probably…

Posted by Dustin Berryman on Wednesday, May 13, 2020

4. That dog does not look happy.

Not happy at all…

5. My life is now over.

What have you done????

My sister sent me a photo of her dog and new puppy. Man, that face. from dogpictures

6. Turned their back on you.

I feel all alone in this world now…

Posted by Melinda Wiese on Wednesday, May 13, 2020

7. Not a good suggestion.

Nice work, Hank…

It was at this moment Hank regretted asking for a little brother. from lookatmydog

8. Golden Retrievers are always patient.

But you might be pushing it with Abby!

Abby is being so patient with the new puppy. from dogpictures

9. Try to find the second dog.

That poor thing!

There are two dogs in this picture. from thisismylifenow

10. Yeah, I can tell…

I think this is meant to be sarcastic.

He loves his new sister from aww

11. Just go with it!

The older dog is freakin’ out!

Posted by Jennifer Lubinski on Wednesday, May 13, 2020

12. Not amused one little bit.

Staring daggers at that puppy.

My dog not as amused with the new puppy as we are… from aww

Do you have more than one dog?

If so, share some pics with us and tell us how they get along!

Please and thank you!
