They last less than 5 seconds at my front door. They are very politely told to go away quickly and they are never offended. I do not buy at my front door, they say that we are not selling. I close the conversation with that you are selling religion. They usually turn and leave Dave |

Does it make you respond sexually? ;-) Had them in my hair, my clothes, on my arms and my skin that was exposed though. I once had a beautiful red kneed tarantula on my hand. I could have taken it away as a pet, if I had known a bit more about them :-) I love the little blighters. I protect them as far as I can. Flies, on the other hand :-(((( I hate them Dave |

Seems you can't post a single link these days for an opinion without
being called a spammer. A common spam tactic is to pose a question no-one cares about, and follow it with links to their own site. Your post seemed to follow that format, hence the suspicion. |

I've heard negative opinions for ultrasonic insect repellers, what about the sprays? http://www.spidergone.co.uk/ http://www.pestcontrolshop.co.uk/acatalog/SPIDERS.html I suggest you ask yourself what the spiders are finding to eat in your house. We have no web spiders only the occasional hunter, and they generally only come out at night. I think they are subsisting on the occasional silverfish in the carpet. Look at it this way, it is either spiders or a mountain of other creepy crawlies that the absent spiders won't be eating. BTW evicting them outside is cruel, a recent study showed over 90% die. For one thing they are house specialists and for another outside all the good spider spots are already taken so the evictee gets eaten by birds or other spiders. After reading that I steadfastly refuse to remove spiders unless one is trapped in bath or sink, then they get put somewhere, like under the stairs. Peter -- Add my middle initial to email me.
