Bagged vacuum: First, it must survive the spinning brush roll. If it survived the vacuum's brush roll or if your vacuum doesn't have a brush roll, the son of a gun just might have made it! If the bag is full, the density of dirt, dust, and hair is likely to suffocate the spider.
Maggie Hardy, spider expert:
We know spiders can survive in low pressure (like you find in a vacuum) and in low gravity, thanks to some research carried out in space by NASA. The very first spiders in space were sent for an experiment designed by an American high school student named Judith Miles, in 1973.
While we do not condone killing of insects, there is no guarantee that vacuuming up a spider will kill it. Further, because the ends are open to allow debris to come into your machine, a spider could certainly crawl back out if left in the clear bin.
When it comes to spiders and bugs that have a more fragile body without an exoskeleton, they most likely will be killed by the suction. If they make it into the vacuum bag, they will suffocate from the dirt inside. Bugs that do survive the suction and stay alive in the vacuum bag can crawl out.
Spiders like dusty areas where they know their nests and eggs will be left alone, which is why spiders like to hide under, behind, and inside of furniture and within clutter in your home. If you want to reduce the number of spiders in your home, cut down on clutter.
Spiders love to hide in the dark, debris-filled cracks away from humans. Be sure to give the space under your bed a lot of attention while you're cleaning. Since it tends to be dark and dusty under beds, they're an ideal place for spiders to hide away.
Spider and Insect Dust is also very effective as a direct nest treatment as listed on the product label. Dusts will last longer (kill longer) than sprays on surfaces and are better for tough to control pests like spiders. Dusts generally kill more slowly than sprays, however, in direct application.
There are very few organisms that can survive in a vacuum, and usually fruit fly larvae are not one of them. There are very few organisms that can survive in a vacuum, and usually fruit fly larvae are not one of them.
Tardigrades are microscopic eight-legged animals that have been to outer space and would likely survive the apocalypse. Bonus: They look like adorable miniature bears. Around 1,300 species of tardigrades are found worldwide.
Most roaches will be killed by vacuuming, but it's a good idea to change the vac- uum cleaner bag often and dispose of it in a double garbage bag. KEEP THEM OUT. Place screens (insect mesh) in windows. Vacuum (or sweep), then sponge mop kitchen floor every week.
One of the easiest ways to kill spider eggs and spiderlings is to suck them in with a vacuum. You may want to use a straight mouth since it works better with the webs. Remember to secure the dust bag and throw it out immediately after you've sucked all the spiders in.
Vacuum the spider using a long-handled attachment.
Turn the machine on and place the end of the attachment over the spider. Take a moment to vacuum any lingering web, too. The force of the suction should kill any spider you vacuum, but to be safe empty the vacuum canister in an outside bin.
Vacuuming cobwebs is one of the best ways to eliminate them. If you have a vacuum that extends to corners in the ceiling and behind small places, use it to ensure you get cobwebs from every space. Ideally, you should vacuum regularly and dust as well to prevent cobwebs from building up around your home.
If the bag is full, the density of dirt, dust, and hair is likely to suffocate the spider. It's much harder for a spider to find its way out of a bag, and after a little time, the spider will eventually die of thirst. There's also a chance that other critters are in there that can and will eat it.
Some spiders have been found ballooning more than 3 kilometres up in the atmosphere. Due to their low weight compared with body surface area, and the thread acting as a parachute, a true spider should survive a fall.
Males self-destruct to keep their mates faithful. The male orb-weaving spider self-destructs during mating.
Outer space is not friendly to life. Extreme temperatures, low pressure and radiation can quickly degrade cell membranes and destroy DNA. Any life-forms that somehow find themselves in the void soon die. Unless they band together.
If the vacuum does not contain a bag, empty and discard the contents in a sealed plastic bag. Wash the removable container in hot soapy water to ensure any remaining bed bugs are killed. There is usually a filter attached to this container.
One of most commonly found organisms inside a vacuum bag is dust mites. Dust mites are microorganisms which live and feed on dust particles, and they are everywhere.
An airplane needs air to travel. The pressure differences created in the air, help in the flying of an aeroplane. In a vacuum, there is no air. Thus it can't travel in a vacuum.
Use a vacuum
You can suck flies straight out of the air by hovering a few inches behind with a regular vacuum on to pull them in. Use this method only with vacuum cleaners that have a bag, and dispose of it immediately after loading it up with pests so they can't find their way back into your home.
According to one former entomologist, Elizabeth Uster, not only can cockroaches continue to live within a vacuum, but the eggs of a female cockroach can also survive and develop into adults before escaping a vacuum cleaner bag.
It's easy to keep spiders away using natural products. These eight-legged creatures hate the smell of citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges. They also don't like peppermint oils, tea tree oils, eucalyptus, and vinegar. Using any of these around your home will keep spiders away.
Generally, spiders want to avoid humans and will only bite as a defense mechanism if they are provoked. Many are extraordinary at hiding or camouflaging themselves because they don't want to be seen.
