Many turn to social media for advice on various issues. On a Mrs. Hinch fan page, a mom sought help identifying peculiar black specks on her skirting board and wall, posting, “Anyone have any idea what this is?” Netizens suggested it could be flies’ or spiders’ poop, with recommendations for cleaning.

Spiders, often found in homes, are not invasive pests; some are beneficial. Spider feces resemble dark, viscous liquids, akin to paint splatter. Additionally, spiders create “bolus,” indigestible balls of prey carcasses or unintentionally ingested webbing, appearing as white, mangled insect parts.

While spiders’ droppings aren’t toxic, timely removal is crucial to prevent stubborn stains on furniture, upholstery, and walls. Social media proves invaluable for sharing insights and solutions, connecting communities facing common challenges.
