According to signs, the spider in the house is a harbinger of important events or news. However, if some are able to slam an insect or throw it out of a window onto the street, then many people are afraid to even look, not to mention contact with arthropods. Those who have arachnophobia (fear of spiders) may be concerned about the question: is it possible to get rid of a multi-legged creature in the house with a vacuum cleaner? Let's find out!
Can a spider survive in a vacuum bag?
Even though many people take spiders calmly, it would be strange to enjoy such a neighborhood. Yes, they are able to rid the home of other insects, but few people will be pleased to meet a spider on their pillow or in dishes.
Reinhild Portman, a spokeswoman for a vacuum cleaner company, admits that quite often he gets the issue of eliminating spiders with this unit. According to the expert, it all depends on the model of the vacuum cleaner. There are those that suck in garbage at speeds up to 140 km / h. And if the insect flies through the hose at such a speed, it is unlikely to survive. Do not forget that the hoses of the vacuum cleaner inside have many bends and irregularities, rushing through which the spider receives many injuries and as a result dies in the dust collector.

However, there is another opinion from the arachnologist Peter Jager. He believes that you cannot be 100% sure that the spider will remain in the vacuum cleaner. And weighty factors speak in favor of this. Firstly, the size of the arthropod is affected. Secondly, the presence of tenacious suction cups that will allow the spider to overcome this "tornado."
On the other hand, the percentage that the insect survives is very small. “In the process of a strong impact, when traveling from the floor through the embossed hose to the dust collector, the spider loses its legs and can be seriously injured. Also, getting out of a bag full of dust and debris is not so easy. Therefore, the chance that he will die is very high, ”the arachnologist explains.
