Fifty percent of Germans are disgusted with spiders. That is why they do not bring the animals with a glass to the door, but simply grab the vacuum cleaner to get rid of them without getting too close to them. And if they then disappeared into the vacuum cleaner tube with a "fluff", they not only catch up with their guilty conscience, no, no, then the head carousel starts: Is the spider dead now? Or is she still alive? Does she come crawling out again and then sit on our head in the middle of sleep to pay us back? Or does she even lay a whole, large number of eggs, so that we can then spin us with their entire pack and eat us?
You can save yourself the sweat of fear
Fear is not rational, it makes us more or less crazy creatures. Before you imagine the next Arachnophobia horror film in which you are the victim, here are the facts: Depending on the vacuum cleaner model, the spiders are sucked up to 140 kilometers per hour and hurled through the hose before they pop against the anti-kickback device, that are found in most vacuum cleaners. Hardly any crawling animal survives. But if it does, then the spiders in the vacuum cleaner bag suffocate from lack of oxygen. And if you still have to dab the sweat of fear from your forehead as soon as a spider crosses its path, you should simply invest in a new vacuum cleaner. They have a hygienic valve at the end of the hose so that nothing comes out of what came in once. Not even a tiny spider.
If you've read this now, do you feel sorry for the poor animals? They're not that bad, are they? And if you take it exactly, spiders are actually pretty cool: They reliably protect us from mosquitoes and flies, wasps and moths. So keeping a few of them as pets would be a pretty good idea. So, dear spiders: on friendship!
