  • well apart from the obvious of getting the house fumigated or 'sprayed', on the ceilings etc, I doubt there is another way. Im not much of a one for sprays and pessticides, but if the spiders are a big problem, then maybe it needs to be done......
  • The best way to control spiders, which prey on other insects, is to find out what's keeping them alive and deal with that, along with agitating all their favorite hiding places twice a week. If living there is harder than moving out, they move out. Serves them right for not paying rent! *fist shake*
  • Buy some guineas FYI - (type of fowl, they look like clowns.) They're great watchdogs(birds), eat insects, snakes, etc. If there is new construction going on near you, you're in for a battle...keep an eye out for scorpions also. Steamcleaners like you see for killing mold/mildow/sanitizing, also work wonders.
  • You could set some bombs off in all of the rooms and put 1 upstairs and leave the stairway doors open so that some of the bomb stuff goes there. If you set bombs off, stay out of the house for a day. You could also send all of the spider families an eviction notice... :) And now some spider info: If spiders are in a corner of walls, they are OK to have around. If they are in the middle of a wall they are not OK to have around. I really don't like the big ones with a stripe on their back. Don't know what kind they are (maybe a poisenous brown recluse?) but they are icky, especially when I find them on a wall behind my bed just above where lay my head. They are not a good spider to have around. Seems like I see them after my grass is cut.
