Probably every person knows or heard at least once that home spiders cannot be killed – this is a bad omen. And let many people are skeptical about this omen, entomologist Matt Burton of North Carolina State University says it’s likely she was born not from scratch and not because of some beliefs people. Just spiders are very useful insects, and ancient people, Apparently, they knew this very well.
Here is what the specialist writes about this in The Conversation:
It’s no mystery that it’s better not to kill spiders in home, no – these arthropods are very beneficial for any ecosystem dwellings. Therefore, killing them, of course, you will not accuse your house troubles such as a fire or an invasion of thieves, as some claim people who interpret folk signs are very original, but you yourself will create in the premises where you live, some environmental discomfort. True, not for long, because the spiders are all return equally: not these, so others.
A group of scientists led by Burton conducted a large-scale research in many urban apartments and country houses, and came to the conclusion that spiders, especially the crows and hayfields, present in every living room. They weave their here unique web, which itself deserves all attention and respect (stronger than steel), and then patiently wait for when it this or that victim will fall.

Every little spider, says Matt, can eat in one day. all kinds of insects harmful to the home 3-4 times more by weight, than he himself, and therefore spiders are magnificent and indispensable cleaners and orderlies of the room. For example, spiders are constantly moreover, mosquitoes and mosquitoes caught in the house are very deftly caught. A people often don’t even realize who helps them sleep all night calmly, and if they nevertheless some time buzzing buzzing over ear mosquito – can’t find it anywhere in the morning (to punish). And his already given the “punished” spider …
Some have heard that almost all spiders are poisonous. And this true, however the home species of these arthropods is too weak to harm a person, they cannot even bite skin. To be honest, a person for a home spider is much more dangerous than a spider for him.
If you just don’t tolerate spiders (there are such people) or even afraid of them (and more than enough of such people), do not kill anyway these creatures useful for home. Do not kill someone who benefits you! Here you can already talk about higher matter, namely – about the violation of the laws of the universe. Maybe ours the ancestors knew well about this, but not from scratch are born signs, and, mind you, they are almost all with some kind of mystical background. And practically – with the deep knowledge that we, “wise” children of technocratic civilization, sometimes not in the power to understand and accept. It’s a pity…
