Do cellar spiders feed on brown recluses?

• <div><p>Yes. Cellar spiders are predatory and feed on other insects, including other spiders. They eat flies, mosquitos, gnats, moths, and larger prey. That larger prey includes venomous spiders like the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/black-widow-vs-brown-recluse.htm">brown recluse and the black widow</a>. Basically, a cellar spider is pretty brave and will feed on anything that gets into its web, no matter the size. </p></div>

Does vinegar keep animals away?

• <div><p>Vinegar can keep some animals at bay, like deer, rabbits, foxes, and raccoons. Keep in mind that your household pets, like cats and dogs, also don’t like the smell of vinegar. You can soak rags in white vinegar and put them up around your garden beds to keep the pesky critters from eating your plants.</p></div>

The concern is elevated if you or any family members are allergic to wasps or bees—the sooner you remove the threat, the better.
