This has allowed us to explore the various degrees to which people experience arachnophobia while shedding light on how our pest control expertise can help to spin you a web of comfort from these creepy crawlers. Unmasking Arachnophobia Arachnophobia can be defined as a deep or sometimes irrational fear of spiders. That definition may be broad, but that doesn’t surprise us. As experts on common pests, including several types of spiders, we know just how common arachnophobia is among people from all over the country and beyond. This phobia isn’t just about disliking spiders, it’s about a feeling of terror that arises and can trigger a wide range of reactions in people, from nervousness to full-blown panic attacks. Degrees of Dread While to some, being afraid of spiders seems silly or dramatic, people who suffer from arachnophobia may not have control over their response to seeing a spider. Lower degrees of arachnophobia can look like slight unease, while a higher level could lead someone to scream, jump, or hide. In severe cases, arachnophobia can affect a person’s everyday life, causing them to avoid certain places or activities for fear of encountering a spider. Behind the Fear Curtain Ever wondered why spiders evoke such intense reactions? Evolution might have something to do with it. Our ancestors who were cautious around spiders were more likely to avoid venomous bites and survive to pass on their genes. This ingrained wariness has trickled down through generations, leaving a legacy of arachnophobia that many still contend with today.
