How do spiders get in my bedroom when I don't open any windows?

So I'm pretty scared of spiders but lately quite a couple of them have been cropping up around my room on my walls and ceiling. I don't open my windows during the day or at night because of this. At summer I have to have them open as the heat is too dry, hence there are lots more bugs in my room, but I can't really understand it leading up to winter.

I don't leave any food or drinks around, only a glass of water at night. I've sprayed fly spray in the past but I don't know if that really helps that much. Does anybody have an answer for this?

Through the bedroom door? Along the ceiling?

Hello Darling!, Usually they can slip through windows, attic, through floorboards they tend to come inside for the warmth!

They probably get in through your door. I can imagine they get in the house through other ways then get in to your room through the door or through small holes around the house. I heard that conkers keep spiders away, something about they don't like the scent? Worth a try, haha!

Yes but I don't have any windows open in the house at all, so how could they get through the bedroom door?

I know that they like the bathroom. But is there any ways to prevent them from coming in? Spider spray? :tongue:

Conkers are worth a go! Not many conkers left though at this time of year, they all went a couple months ago. I'm scared they're all over my room :frown:

I've been letting them in. Just a couple everyday. Didn't know it bothered you this much. My bad, I'll stop.

Look how small they are when the hatch, they can walk in through a closed door, through the floorboards and the sides of the carpet, through electrical sockets etc.

Spiders can lay eggs inside your skin while you sleep, you'll feel them moving, enjoy.

They can come through light fittings, up through the floorboards...

I hope you're not afraid of them...

BECAUSE THEY'RE EVERYWHERE

I may try that. I just hate any bugs in my room. It's disgusting how people eat like seven spiders a year. Gives me the creeps...
