SPIDERS!!! SPIDERS!!! Too many spiders in my house!! HELPFUL INFO PLEASE.

I recently found a brown widow and its egg sac in a bike that was in the living room - it was an old one I was beginning to fix-up for my son and there is nowhere to put the bike but the living room where we live. Sure was GLAD to find that before they hatched all over my house!

Last time I moved, found black widows, and other spiders, just hanging out in my teen son's closet - not good - and also in there, were many rolls of gift wrapping paper - I happened to glance inside only to find a LOT of spiders like to nest in the dry cardboard wrapping paper tubes! Check your tubes or, yikes...

Do they ship to the US?

OP,

Mix equal parts of confectioners sugar and boric acid in a plastic bag. Using a plastic spoon, place a small amount on little pieces of foil. Place the foil inside cabinets, and other places the pets can't reach. The boric acid will dehydrate them, and the sugar will clog their legs and bodies. Sure death. It will kill ants and roaches as well.

Also, you might try this: Most house pests hate eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, and citrus oils like orange or lemon. Add a few drops to a spray bottle, add water, shake and spray around doors, cracks and crevices. Repeat twice a week. Anything harsh smelling that we don't like, the spiders will not like as well.

They don't like the smell of apple cider vinegar. Spray ac vinegar around the kitchen or places you see the spiders.

Some of the smaller roach baits will attract spiders, pick up a few of those and place them up in high areas. On the fridge or behind the stove.

Finally, buy some sticky tapes for insects. The spiders will crawl on the tapes, become stuck there, and you can bag the whole thing and throw it away. You can make your own sticky tapes from masking tape. Just place the tape sticky side up, and trap the spiders.

Good luck.

Sing to them and don't hurt them.

what kind of cat doesn't hunt and kill all the spiders for fun and sport?

tell the cat to shape up or ship out

dude, food grade Diatomaceus Earth and sprinkle it outside, around your foundation. also, sprinkle it inside along your baseboards.

Call an exterminator BugTard

Yes, and orange oil too. I spray the window sills and corners, the back porch, anywhere they hide out.

I've used Lemon Pledge and it works well too, but the orange spray is cheaper so I usually use it.

The house smells like an orange for a while, but its better than smelling like poison.

I have a pet spider who has a web in my bathroom next to the toilet. I catch flies and bugs & toss them into the web. It's entertaining to watch her while I sit on the "throne".

Pesticides are largely infective on spiders unless sprayed directly on them. This is because spiders do not clean themselves and ingest the poison as insects do.
Spiders are carnivores, they only eat insects or other spiders. If you have spiders it is because you have bugs. Get rid of the bugs and the spiders will leave.

Or hairspray and a lighter lol
Get the egg sacks ir your DOOMED

Reminds me of a music get-together in New York a few years back

That the brown acid that is circulating around us isn't too good. It is suggested that you stay away from that. Of course it's your own trip. So be my guest, but please be advised that there is a warning on that one, ok?"

termites

How did they come in?

Cheap, natural, safe. No stinkin pesticides to give you cancer.
Diatomatoceous earth. Like $20 a BIG bag. Add a $10 duster bottle and you're done.

DEMON SPRAY GET IT AT FEED STORE I HATE SPIDERS I VACUUM RHEM UP *shudder*

Just BUG BOMB the house and be done with it.
...and do another in any basement or crawlspace you may have.


End of story.

I do this once a year in the spring to keep mine away, and used to have them bad:

Use them under the house in the crawl space, inside the house, and in the attic if you have one. read the directions to see how many you need in each space. I use two in my crawl space under the house, two inside my house, and 1 in the attic. If you have crawl space vents on your foundation, close them off while fumigating. It will take about 3 hours. Nobody or pets inside the house during that time.

If you dont also do the attic and the underhouse crawl space in addition to the inside house, you will not get rid of them.

Yaaaaaaa. That sounds awesome. I can put them alot

of places. Great idea. I will check the hardware

store.

Is that really the name of it?? Is it just for spiders, or demonic spiders as well, lol.

Ha ha ha. Sounds like serious stuff atleast. I will

check it out. Thanks a bunch.

Sorry, couldn't resist!

WHO KNEW there were so many options to get rid of

arachnids, shudder! I have enough pets, too

bad they don't eat spiders, lol

Thanks for the great info, Ming!

UGGGG. I CANNOT LOOOK.

diatomaceous earth.

Revvvvv. You meanie, lol. It's okay I saw the

movie. It was difficult to watch for me, ewww.

How are you today

I use a hornet spray that my husband and I bought at Home Depot, it's equivalent to 44,000 volts of electricity. I spray it all along my front door and back door. Obviously some still get in but near as many that would have had I not sprayed that stuff.
