Experts warn they can be a literal death trap for insects and other wildlife, like birds and chipmunks.
When an insect gets stuck in a real spider web, it’s a normal part of the food chain. When they get caught in a fake one, nothing comes along to eat them.
As you decorate for the holiday, experts suggest skipping out on the fake spider webs entirely.
