If they disappear, I would guess that they sublimate. This is similar to evaporation, except that in this case, it changes directly from solid to gas.
Solid air fresheners can shrink due to evaporation of the active ingredients that give off the scent. As the air freshener releases its fragrance into the air, the solid material diminishes in size. External factors such as temperature and airflow can also contribute to the shrinkage of solid air fresheners.
air fresheners (vapors from scented solids in air)
Air fresheners contain compounds with low volatility.
Solid air fresheners typically consist of a solid base material, such as wax or gel, infused with concentrated fragrance oils or essential oils. These materials are set in a specific shape or container that allows for slow release of the scent over time.

This is an example of sublimation, where a solid material transitions directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In the case of air fresheners, the solid particles evaporate into the air to disperse the fragrance.
Automatic air fresheners are a newer fad going on right now. Some of the main companies that make automatic air fresheners are Glade, and Air Wick. However, these air fresheners are not always the best choice.
If you get close enough to where the spider is, yes air fresheners kill spiders.
Glade air fresheners can last anywhere from a few hours to several weeks, depending on the specific product and usage conditions. For example, Glade sprays provide immediate fragrance but dissipate quickly, while solid air fresheners or plug-ins can last longer, typically around 30 days or more. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal performance.
