So there is a type of spray used on boats to get rid of spiders. As you can imagine, having an in closed space near the water is prime real estate for spiders. The spray works by making it impossible for spiders to make webs around it. You just use it on all your window frames. Spiders won’t pass those lines because they sense that they can"t make webs there. I use the one from Yachticon, don’t know if you can order it everywhere, but it works wonders.
Sure, but my point was rather the disappearance of the language. Second language proficiency is high in Germany, but the attitudes regarding the “preservation” of German are insane. For example, there is a specific category for English words imported into German called Anglicisms. Funnily enough words like “cool” are not considered part of this group purely because they are used for such a long time that they are considered German enough (seems like language changes over time? Funny how this works!). Every teenager knows the moment when some boomer criticises them for using non German words.
