Do vets have to work with spiders?
Very rarely, unless he/she wishes to study or treat spiders. On occasion a client will bring in a spider to have you identify 'what bit the animal', but you can safely deflect that question to an entomologist at the local college.
Do spiders make enclosed webs for their homes?
Mature spiders ordinarily need to run in and out of any hiding place that they have. Otherwise they could not catch anything. There is one kind of spider that is more closely related to tarantulas than to the spiders you ordinarily would see in any garden. It is called a tube-web spider. They make long tubes that are closed at the ends. The spider stays inside and when something like a cricket wanders onto the surface of the tube the spider will use its super-long fangs to grab it right through the tube. Then the spider will drag it into the tube, close the hole she just made, and eat dinner.
Another kind of spider, called the "nursery web spider," lays its eggs in a bush and then builds an enclosing web shelter all around a volume about the size of a volley ball. She stays on the outside to be on guard. When the eggs hatch the baby spiders will live in this enclosing web "house" until they are big and strong enough to make it on their own. Then they will come out of their protective environment.
Many other kinds of spiders will make little "tents" that they rest in, possibly lay eggs in, overwinter in, etc. These tents are really not sealed shut, although the sheets that make the top and bottom or the sides may overlap somehow so that the spider has something easy to get in and out of, sort of like a screen door on a house that has a spring but no latch.
Well Babaganoosh, It was a Marilyn Manson bug. I have no clue
What are some adaptation of spiders?
Some adaptions to spider is learning how to spin their webs and soar throught the sky with their web. As we can also see of spiderman the species of the spider that bit spiderman to have him have his powers wich we can also see that it is science fiction.
It is a tunnel or shaft dug into the soil. It can be lined with spider silk. Trapdoor spiders make a "door" for their tunnel out of their own silk. Some burrows consist of one straight shaft. Other burrows are constructed like the letter H with one door visible from the outside, and the other exit not quite dug through to the outside until an emergency exit is needed. There can be an inside door protecting the horizontal tunnel. If the spider is attacked by something that comes inside, the spider will retreat through the second door, close it behind her, and hope that the intruder will go all the way to the bottom in a straight line, be unable to find anything to eat, and will then leave. If that does not work and the intruder pulls open the inside door, then the spider retreats and exits by digging out the top of the hidden vertical shaft.
Is there any way possible to kill spiders and silverfish with the same thing?
A chemical free way to chase away, (not kill) spiders is to place Hedge Apples or pieces of Hedge Apples wherever you see spiders. Spiders hate these things. You can not find the Hedge Apples until late summer/early fall but that is when the spiders are at their worst. Also, do not kill the Granddaddy Long Legs, they are lethal to other spiders and bugs but not to humans.There are plug-in devices that create a "barrier" in your walls and emit a high-pitched tone that bugs run from. They sell at Sam's Club for $20 for a package of 3; I've also seen them at Wal-Mart. They work! I hate spiders and our new house was loaded with them until I got these. It takes about a month to get rid of them all.To keep silverfish and firebrats away, keep basements, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, especially shower stalls, clean and dry. Plug or putty holes or spaces around pipes. Repair leaks and drips in plumbing. Clean out closets periodically. Collections of magazines, papers, and books provide food for them. Occasionally, move books around in a bookcase. Keep foods in containers with tight lids.
