This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Spider-killing sprays also kill flies, but fly-killing sprays don't kill spiders. (lemmy.world)

They're the same price at Walmart, so it pretty much always makes sense to go with the spider-spray.

The flies don't die 'on-contact' like they do with the fly-specific spray, but they do die after a brief period of delirium.

Yeah. Forget where I heard this, but it was something like "For every spider you see in your basement, that's like 1000 other bugs you won't".

Unless it's an infestation, I tend to leave individual spiders alone.

Yes but that's my contract with the bugs. If they don't cause structural damage, and I don't see them we can have peace. Pest or allie, if you have more than 4 legs and I see you in my domicile - I will do my best to destroy you as soon as I'm done screaming.

I’m good until they’re in my furniture or the bedroom.
