Basically keeping all the windows open through the night and closing them in the morning. I also sleep upstairs directly below the roof during the colder months, but move to the ground floor in summer, where it gets much less hot.
Things will creep in at night, I mean spiders not Nosferatu. Although maybe Nosferatu. You don't often hear a monster work the word enmity into a sentence.
Funny you'd say that, as we actually get what we call "Nosferatu spiders" in Germany quite often in our house. I don't really mind them though, the occasional mosquito is much more annoying. We have nets on some of the windows though.
Cuties.
Apparently they're called Fox Spiders in other places. It looks like a 'wolf' spider from here, but that's apparently a common mis-identification. The two species love to hang out in wood piles and in corners and chase prey.
It looked like a few of the formerly-Tenegeria spiders we have here - Domesticus, Agrestis and Gigantica - which now all have new groupings I don't care to learn. Thankfully none of those jump. But, then again, the jumpers are the only cool ones (eg Salticus scenicus and other spider-bros).
I didn't mean for Pyotr to be my roommate but it just kind of happened. He's pretty chill though. My place used to be pretty messy but he cleans it while I sleep. He's totally silent too so I don't even wake up! Really the only downside is the anemia but I'm taking iron supplements now and that might help a bit.
Yep plus blackout blinds throughout the day, they massively help.
And/or blackout curtains as well. They pull double duty as an insulating layer, not just blocking light.
