Spiders
 
For some reason there are a LOT of spiders this year, inside and
outside the house. Anyone know how those plug-in high-frequency
devices work? I suspect these are a hoax but I have seen these kits
in the stores for many years.

I have one for my shop, that I use when I have the doors (garage) open at
night. I can tell you that it does work for flying insects such as moths. It
also works great for bats too. not sure about spiders cause its only on when
the doors are open.

I have a Siamese cat that just loves spiders. I have a lot of them this
our outside and in the garage, but I very seldom see on inside. :-)

I have several of them in the garage and in the house. They don't keep
away spiders or mice but I have not seen an elephant since they were
plugged in.

Basing it on the law suits against the manufactures filed by the FTC
across the country, I'd say they don't work as claimed. They will only
give the spiders a new place to live.

It is said that the early bird gets the worm,
but it is the second mouse that gets the cheese.

They wouldn't be around in larger numbers unless the food supply was better.
I don't like finding them dangling in front of my face in the shower, but
outdoors? Why would you want to get rid of them?

They're pretty unreliable at best, and at worst, you have no way of actually
knowing whether they are functioning or not. I doubt you'll have much
success from what I've read and heard about them.

Two possible solutions:

1. A single, bigger, spider.
2. Cat.

That reminds of of a Maverick series "The Camel Watcher"
