🕷️🎃 Embrace the spookiest season with some creepy-crawly knowledge! Have you ever wondered why spiders are associated with Halloween? 🕸️
SPIDERS: GUILT BY ASSOCIATION
In medieval times, witches were feared and were thought to have 'helpers' like spiders, rats, and bats. With Halloween as a peak time for these myths, spiders were soon linked to witches and dark magic.
There are many superstitions about spiders and Halloween. One legend says a spider seen in your home could be a spirit of a loved one, while others believe spiders' web-spinning powers make them mystical. Halloween’s orange and black colors also play a part: orange for fall, black for death, and spiders, often black, add to the season's creepy vibe.
Movies like *Arachnophobia* reinforce our fear of spiders, placing them in spooky settings. Plus, as fall turns to winter, spiders and other pests seek warmth indoors, so it’s common to see them now.
If you’d rather not let the real webs hang around after Halloween, call Rove Pest Control to keep your home pest-free!
