Jumping spiders are highly sensitive to chemicals and strong smells. To ensure their well-being, it's very important to minimize the use of cleaners, perfumes, and other fragranced products in their vicinity. 

Why avoid certain products?

• Toxic Chemicals: Many household cleaning products and air fresheners contain harmful chemicals that can cause neurological damage to spiders, potentially leading to a fatal condition known as Dyskinetic Syndrome (DKS).
• Strong Scents: Spiders, including jumping spiders, utilize chemical cues and vibrations to navigate their surroundings. Strong scents from perfumes or fragranced products can disrupt their sensory organs and potentially overwhelm their respiratory systems, which are located externally on their bodies.
• Residue: Scented items like candles, diffusers, and wax melts release residues into the air that can deposit on surfaces and potentially harm spiders upon contact.
