ππ» Halloween Alert! ππ» As you deck out your home for spooky season, here’s a vital tip to keep in mindβsteer clear of fake spider webs! While they might give off a creepy vibe, experts warn they’re no treat for our beloved wildlife. πΈοΈπ«


These faux webs, commonly hung in gardens and on doorways, can pose real threats to birds, bats, and other small creatures. They get tangled up in them, mistaking them for the real deal. Birds even use spider silk for their nests. Imagine the chaos if they bring home some of this sticky stuff! π©

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) urges us to leave the web spinning to actual spiders and keep these decorations indoors if you must use them. Not only do they pose a risk to animals, but they’re also a fire hazard. Those wispy strands can ignite in seconds when near candles or fairy lights.π₯
Instead of outdoor webbing, try hanging them inside your windows for just as much of an eerie effect without endangering our furry and feathered friends. Let’s keep our Halloween hauntingly fun and safe for everyone, including the wildlife. π‘πΏ
Do your part this Halloween and opt for decorations that won’t harm the environment or its inhabitants. Your feathered and furry neighbours will thank you! π¦π
Share this vital tip and spread the wordβthe only things getting caught in webs should be the echoes of Halloween laughter and tales. Happy decorating! ππ
