The spider is not the most common insect. The Indians considered him the creator of the world. The ancient Egyptians, Celts and Greeks used the web to tell their fortunes, and the Australians worshiped it as a sacred figure. Christians have a different idea; they considered the thread woven by a spider to be a devil’s trap.
For Buddhists, he was a creator. Spider in the house: folk signs and superstitions were not only among our ancestors, but have also survived to this day.
Signs and superstitions about spiders in separate rooms of the apartment
In the old days, they believed that non-poisonous arthropods promised harmony and happiness. The family will get rich, troubles will disappear, and quarrels and conflicts will disappear.
It has been noted that the insect can “transmit” a specific message from heaven. You just have to watch.
Detail:
- Creeping towards you - wealth, profit, bonuses, winning money. You can buy a lottery ticket, don’t forget to win a hefty sum.
- Crawls away - to waste. Buy something valuable and you'll end up broke. Worries about “financial collapse” are ensured.
- Crawled onto clothes - to good news, long-awaited purchases. Red is for luck. White - for successful shopping. Goes up - to renewal, goes down - to loss. He climbed onto his shoulder - a message from an old acquaintance.
- He sat on his right hand - to the money; to the left - to spending.
- Falls with its paws up - towards a valuable gift. If you get scared, jinx it.
- Ran across the table - beware of deceivers from your inner circle.
- Show up in a bucket - you will soon feel a lack of money. Fierce disputes and conflicts with family on financial grounds are likely.
If you see a running spider while eating, be wary. Enemies will take up arms, and there will be nowhere to find protection. A dead insect is also a bad sign. They found him already dead - the boss is angry. Soon he will publicly show his dissatisfaction. Colleagues will not protect you, as they are loud and whispering behind your back.
Where exactly the spider was found: exact transcripts
Every detail is important. Let's analyze the situation when a spider crawls on the floor:
- In the bathroom - difficulties in money matters. If there is water nearby, then accept temporary complications with confidence. Everywhere is dry - you will be nervous.
- In the toilet - to frustration due to lost profits. For example, they won’t give bonuses.
- In the hallway - wait for guests. Running along the threshold - resumption of communication with an old friend. Sitting on the mirror - amazing news. Light on the door - welcome visitors; dark - unpleasant. The jamb is covered with cobwebs - they will stay for a long time.
Mizgir on the window - for news. He immediately ran away - fleeting news. Doesn't move - important information. Do not miss.
In the bedroom, on the bed, on the pillow
An extremely ambiguous prophecy. Options:
- Little one on the bed - love news, something pleasant.
- Light above the bed - to happiness and joy. The big dark one promises trouble.
- Fidgeting on the pillow - chores, sadness, vanity.
In the kitchen
News about a family member. If you make a web, then you will quarrel with your spouse. The conflict will go beyond ordinary misunderstandings. Divorce is likely.
But spotting it among the dishes, in an empty plate, near the refrigerator is a good sign. Enjoy your sudden profits. Only a blackish insect is a harbinger of trouble. If you fall into food, you will get sick. In a glass of water - refuse the planned purchase. It won't make you happy.
Are house spiders dangerous to humans?
Due to the very unpleasant appearance of an uninvited lodger, a person automatically begins to wonder whether house spiders are dangerous. When answering this question, you need to clearly understand what is meant by the word “domestic”. If we are talking about synanthropic species, then their representatives do not pose a threat to humans. When a domestic spider is defined as any spider found in the house, its danger is determined by its species.
For example, the haymakers that are often found in homes are not even able to bite through human skin, while a tarantula bite is painful and can cause serious deterioration in the health of a small child or a person prone to allergies. Many consider the common house spider to be dangerous, but in fact these small creatures are very shy and try to hide from view at the first opportunity.
But regardless of the species, all spiders can be called dangerous, if only because they can cause the development of arachnophobia in someone in the household or its aggravation in those who have long suffered from this pathology.
Decoding by time of day: day, morning, evening, night
Prophecies appear without our permission. It is important to recognize each aspect. So, the collision time says the following:
- In the evening it creeps up - you will climb the mountain. There will be prosperity in professional activities. Down is a promise of stagnation. The money channel will also close slightly. Try to use resources more economically.
- Seeing a “visitor” at sunset is a sign of beneficial changes. Accept with gratitude. The vicissitudes of fate turn into happiness.
- At night I noticed an improvement in business. Fell into the water - to shock. The larger it is, the greater the complications.
- During the day - to reconcile those who had quarreled. Lonely people will find their soulmate.
- In the morning we noticed a visitor - to a pleasant day. On the wall - to joyful events. On the ceiling - new perspectives will open up. Flying in a cobweb - make a secret wish. It will definitely come true. It's bad to get caught in spider webs in the morning. Spiteful critics will take up arms. Immediately say: “Forget me.” Spit over your left shoulder three times.
- In the bright sun, “occupied” the balcony - good luck in your endeavors.
If there are small spiders in the house, it means that a guardian angel is protecting the family. Lots of insects - ancestral protection. In winter they appear in a secluded corner - hopefully until the next cold weather. Don't drive away. Let him live.
Other interpretations will take
In the past, people often used spiders to predict the weather. Each had its own signs. Pushed into a corner - to strong winds. When too many cobwebs were found, it meant drought. The color of the insect is also important, according to almost all signs; to see a dark spider is a sign of grief, and a light one is a sign of joy.
There is a belief that if you see a spider early in the morning, the person will be consumed by melancholy and sadness. In the light of day - to great luck, and in the evening - to hope and success in business. In general, people generally believe that seeing a spider in the house means expecting good changes.
Does a spider crawl up or down: what does it promise?
The movements change the predictions somewhat. Detail:
- Headed up the wall - financial flow will improve. Life in abundance and prosperity.
- Go downstairs - squander your savings. Need.
- If it moves smoothly along the ceiling, the money will not be transferred.
- He settled in a corner and made a tight net there - a letter.
- Falls from a height to the floor - enemies will be harmed; on the face or before the eyes - success is guaranteed; on the head - to a joyful meeting; on hair - loved ones will add variety to everyday life.
If you spot someone coming down the cobweb, it means trouble. A sick or even healthy relative will die.
Folk signs - a spider on the body. What is this for?
- If a spider falls on your hand
, it is a sign of imminent changes in life. If this event occurs with the right hand, then one can expect profit or increase. A spider that appears on the left hand promises minor financial losses. - A spider falling on your face
is a popular sign of happiness in your personal life. - If a spider fell or went down the web onto your head
, then this foreshadows an unexpected inheritance or other sudden money that will fall out of the blue. - Spider entangled in hair
- to finding true love - If you see a spider on a shoe, on a leg, on a knee
, it means a quick trip.
In general, according to popular wisdom, it is believed that spiders on the body portend a good fate for a person. But for the omen to come true, you cannot kill such a “guest”. As a last resort, the spider should be carefully removed, but it is still better to wait and let it remove itself.
If you remember the color
Additional color values:
- Black - troubles related to money and illness. Very large - for the funeral of a bloodline.

It is believed that with their web they protect the vulnerable places of your home (dark corners, ceilings, etc.) from the penetration of dark forces, passing on their protection.
Why you shouldn't kill spiders in your home
Killing is traditionally considered sinful. To kill a defenseless creature means to attack the Creator God himself. It was he who settled this harmless creature on earth. A poisonous beast is another matter. It must be destroyed for its own protection.
Beliefs about killing a spider:
- Intentionally crush - lose something valuable. Black huge - to win, to defeat a malicious enemy.
- Slamming it accidentally or accidentally is a plus sign. To get rid of annoying problems.
- If you were killed in fright, try harder. We must throw it out the door with the words: “Go away evil, come good.”
- They killed the one who climbed behind the icon - one sin was removed from the soul.
Everyone disappeared on their own - not a good prophecy. This happens before a big misfortune or moving to a new place. Take care of your loved ones.
How to avoid negative consequences
Of course, sometimes killing a spider is accidental. To protect yourself from possible negative consequences, it is important to follow some recommendations. It is necessary to carefully remove the dead arthropod from the house, leave it on the ground or bury it. You should mentally ask for forgiveness for your actions. If you do not remove the spider from your home, then the troubles will remain inside.
Other beliefs about spider invasion
Nimble arthropods penetrate everywhere. Signs of their appearance:
- There are a lot of them in the apartment - check the energy. The dominance of pests is one of the signs of damage.
- On a window or window - your dream will come true.
- On the balcony - for gatherings.
- In the car - to envious people, gossipers, condemnation.
- Under the hood - look for the villain in your inner circle.
- On a grave is a great sign. The soul of the deceased was at peace.
- Meeting a web weaver means getting rich.
- Disappeared from the room - to the rain. They came again - to sunny weather. Huddled in a dark corner - towards the wind.
What to do if you often meet with little roommates? Do not be nervous. Heed their prophetic advice. Even negative ones can turn fate for the better if you listen correctly to angelic signs.
Types of house spiders
Several types of spiders can be found in a person’s home, some of them feel comfortable, quickly settle down and are considered domestic, others will strive to leave the unusual place as soon as possible.
Haymaker
Harvesting spiders (haircutters, centipedes) are spiders that are often found in houses, and sometimes in apartments. These are arthropods with a small (up to 1 cm) body and very long (up to 4-5 cm) legs. Color ranges from grayish beige to light brown. On a sunny summer day, such a spider can often be seen in a village or country house, sitting on a fence or wall of a house, legs spread out.
Haymaker
The common grasshopper gets its name from its unique feature. If you grab his leg, he throws it away, and the limb begins to make movements similar to swinging a scythe. This is how the spider escapes from its enemies. While the predator is distracted by the moving leg, the haymaker manages to escape. House spiders usually live under window sills or in corners, where they weave webs. They are not dangerous to humans; they eat flies, mosquitoes and other insects.
Tegenaria brownie
The house spider (lat. Tegenaria domestica) is a species belonging to the funnel-web family. The female tegenaria spider reaches a size of 12 mm, males grow up to 9 mm. The body of the arthropod is yellow-brown. Another variety belongs to the same family - Tegenaria atrica (lat. Tegenaria atrica). It is called the attic spider, since the attic is the most common habitat of these arthropods.
Tegenaria brownie
Unlike grasshoppers, which are called window spiders for their predilection for well-lit places, the house spider prefers to hide in dim corners. Hunts insects using a funnel-shaped net made of spider webs. It does not attack people, but can bite if disturbed. The bite is not painful, but slight redness and swelling, if they appear, go away within half an hour.
Black house spider
Black spiders are often found in the house. These are fairly small arthropods, the body size of which, including legs, rarely exceeds 3 cm (in females, males are even smaller). They settle in secluded places - behind furniture, behind radiators, in dark corners. They feed on small insects (moths, flies, mosquitoes, moths), which they catch using a web woven in the shape of a pipe.
Black home
People are bitten only if they feel danger; the bite is painless and has no consequences.
Hobo spider
Among the spiders that sometimes live in houses, it is worth mentioning arthropods from the family of hobo spiders. Depending on the species, the size of the tramp varies from 1 to 2.5 cm, and the color from yellowish-brown to black-brown. These spiders do not weave trapping webs; they hunt insects from ambush or search for prey in the grass themselves.
Tramp
Interestingly, the danger of these arachnids to humans also depends on the species. Hobo spiders, which live, for example, in Latin America, are much more poisonous than their relatives from Russia.
Jumper
Jumping spiders are another species that sometimes find their way into homes. These are small arthropods whose body size usually does not exceed 15 mm. Thanks to the special structure of their legs, jumpers can jump over distances several times greater than their size. It is for this ability that they received their self-explanatory name.
Jumper
Another difference from other types of arachnids is acute vision, which helps the spider to hunt and notice danger in time. Horses appear in a person's home only by accident and do not pose a danger.
Tarantula
Mizgir or South Russian tarantula is an arthropod from the wolf spider family. The size of the female is about 30 mm, the males are slightly smaller. The color is most often reddish-brown, but gray individuals with white markings on the abdomen and legs are also found. The entire body of the misgir is covered with hairs; this feature allows the spider to detect various vibrations, which makes it easier for it to hunt.
Tarantula
Mizgir cannot be called a house spider, but sometimes it is still found in the house. A tarantula bite is very painful, causing low blood pressure, dizziness, abnormal heart rhythm, and sometimes numbness in the limbs. In people prone to allergies, tarantula venom can cause angioedema and anaphylactic shock.
Large steatoda
The large steatoda (false widow) is a relatively small spider. Its dimensions range from 4–6 mm in males to 6–11 mm in females. The color varies from brownish-brown to black with light spots on the abdomen.
Steatoda
It is very unpleasant to meet such a spider in the house, since it is very similar to the infamous black widow. In fact, the large steatoda belongs to a different family, and its poison is much less toxic. But still, the bite of this spider can lead to symptoms such as fever, muscle spasms, increased sweating, and malaise. Usually everything goes away within 1 – 3 days.
Amarobiid spider
These spiders are found almost everywhere except in the coldest and driest regions. The size of the arthropod is from 8 to 15 mm, the color is most often dark brown. They hunt insects using a web woven in the shape of a funnel. They are practically not found in residential premises, but they often settle in basements, for which they received a second name - basement spiders.
Amarobiidae
Phalangoid folkus
These spiders can often be found in an apartment or house. Phalangoid folcus is one of the synanthropic species of harvest spiders. The dimensions of the slightly elongated body are 6–9 mm, the color is sandy to gray-brown, the legs are long.
Phalangoid folkus
Indoors they settle on the ceiling, in corners, behind furniture, where they actively weave loose webs. They eat insects and other spiders. People are bitten very rarely; the poison is harmless and can only cause a slight burning sensation at the site of the bite, which quickly passes.
Little gray spider
Sometimes there are small, inconspicuous spiders in the house. Their size is no more than 9 mm, their body color is gray. These are harmless, timid creatures that hide most of the time, avoiding encounters not only with humans, but also with pets. They hunt small insects, but do not bite people.
Little gray spider
Let's summarize
- Most people are afraid of spiders, but at the same time, almost every sign of meeting this arthropod in your home promises something good - wealth, good news, guests, good luck.
- The best signs are considered to be an encounter with an insect in the toilet, hallway, or if a spider falls from the ceiling straight onto your head (arm, shoulder).
- It’s bad to see a spider that isn’t hiding in the bathroom, on the floor (if the insect is running away from you), or under the bed. It is also not advisable to meet a cross in the house.
How do you feel when you see a spider?
If you feel fear or panic, congratulations - you are an arachnophobe. There is nothing terrible about this; every fifth person on the planet has such fears. This video will explain why people developed arachnophobia (the channel is for children, but it will also be interesting for adults): When using materials from thebestvideo.ru, a link to the source is required.
How to get rid of spiders
To protect yourself from the adverse consequences of killing spiders, you should take a number of measures to prevent their appearance in your home.
- Seal all, even the most minor, cracks and holes in the floor, walls and windows through which creatures can enter the apartment.
- Regularly carry out wet cleaning using bleach and boric acid. Peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils can also be used as remedies.
- Take special care to clean those places where spiders prefer to lay eggs. These include the bottoms of chairs and table tops, corners and baseboards.
- Systematically treat the room with special preparations: Diatomite, Terminator, Dichlorvos, triple blow and others.
Unwanted morning guests
However, there are, of course, bad omens about spiders. For example, if you notice it in the morning, then, despite the fact that this is usually considered a good sign, you should be wary at this time of day.
