Just moved into a brand new apartment, and last night I just discovered that there are large spider webs in my front door area AND under my bottom kitchen cabinets. I am TERRIFIED of spiders, and do not want to remove them myself. Should I call my apartment maintenance.

There is a product called Home Defense. It is a spray and is not harmful once it drys in 5 minutes. Spray around the outside and around the baseboards of each room. You will not see one insect for quite some time. You’ll have to read the package, I think the spraying is effective for three months, so you should spray about 4 times a year. Getting rid of the spider webs will not get rid of the spiders. You have to kill the spiders.
My son is petrified of spiders, has been since he was a toddler and still is as a young adult. Funny thing, this kid will get on his motorcycle and race through the woods like a mad man winning championships and climb ladders to work on high pitched roofs, but he is afraid of one species of a bug. Go figure.
you could do but i would charge if i were them, buy a feather duster
You could. but I am 100% certain they will just laugh at you, I’m afraid. Most people aren’t afraid of spiders, so simply won’t understand (and I don’t think creepy crawly clearance will be part of your maintenance and management contract).
Get your rubber gloves on and tackle it yourself. Get some fly/bug spray, give the apartment a good old spray all around then leave for a few hours (don’t stay in the flat after spraying - you don’t want to inhale all those chemicals).
Then come back, open the windows to air the apartment and set to with a feather duster on a long stick to sweep the cobwebs away (those pesky spiders should have died/retreated with the bug spray).
The sooner you get it done, the sooner you can rest in peace.
Ignore anyone who tells you to live with it/spiders are lovely/don’t kill spiders etc etc - I’m scared of them too - and it’s your home, so your rules.
I have a dog named Ruby who loves to squash spiders. Maybe you should get a dog to protect you from all the creepy crawlies.
