"We’ve all been there: just as you’re about to fall asleep, you notice a
huntsman spider on the ceiling. Or you walk into your kitchen and find a long
trail of ants snaking into your pantry.
Given there are an estimated 10 quintillion individual insects alive on Earth
at any one time, it’s no surprise they sometimes find their way into our homes.
In fact, the average Australian shares their home with around 100 different
insect and spider species.
But the reality is most of these tiny housemates won’t hurt us, and you really
don’t need to kill them. In fact, many perform helpful jobs such as catching
flies and mosquitoes, or tidying up crumbs.
So, what can you do instead?"
