Kinda related, but in my house I don’t kill spiders, as long as they are in the corners they can live rent free while cleaning other bugs. Before, one time I went and killed all of them, in less than a week I started seeing sliverfish and similar bugs, I realized I messed up the natural order, so I just keep em now!

In my old house we sprayed for spiders and ants, and a few weeks later there were cockroaches everywhere. I guess it was just a coincidence. >.>
Haha, the problem with ants is they are not solo, and they build colonies so if you keep “the explorer” one alive soon you will have hundreds of them, digging walls and floors.
I leave the wolf spiders as they don't make webs.
