    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.

    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......

    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.

    My mom would put hedgeapples around. I don't know if it really works or if it was something that was a wives' tale.

  • Spiders! Shudder!!

    There is a device you can buy that somehow drives out all manner of pests with sound waves (not sure about that). My sister (who also hates spiders) bought one to use in her appartment some years ago. It did the trick...unfortunately, what the product doesn't warn you about is that all of these creepy-crawlies come out of the walls and into the room before they exit. It was not a fun time for her...I thought it was hilarious, but I'll never use one myself.
