Avoid This Bedding Mistake If You Don't Want Spiders In
Your Bedroom
By DANIELLE RAMOS-SULLIVAN
While spiders typically haunt basements and attics, some places will attract them more than others. Having dirty bedsheets could be the reason you find them in your bedroom.
Clumped-up, unwashed sheets accumulate dead skin cells, sweat, dirt and bacteria, body oils and odors that attract many of the insects that spiders love to prey on like bed bugs.
Regularly washing your sheets will keep spiders away from your bed. Clearing your room of clutter and crumbs that feed insects will also deter spiders from making it their home.
You should also declutter, vacuum, and dust regularly to get rid of potential hiding spaces and food sources. Remember, even in a clean room, seeing an occasional spider is normal.
