There are really 2 answers to this, and both have to do with you, and do not really need sprays. Firstly, Apparently there is real good therapy to overcome arachnophobia. Please look into it, since it is probably quite irrational. Secondly, spiders look for food, insects smaller than them, and those insects feed on even smaller insects and bacteria. Therefore, you might want to make the areas where you see spiders scupulously clean, as in with soap and bleach. Wear gloves, and don't mix bleach with ammonia. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Spider crawls across barrier and makes it maybe 1 more foot before curling up. Also, spiders usually FOLLOW food, so you may have bigger problems you're not aware of. However, Bub Barrier is NOT supposed to be used near food. so.... If you're into 'natural' methods, get a bunch of fresh oranges, peel them around the area. The spray form peeling kills ants and spiders. The effect lasts about a year and won't hurt humans or pets. Very slow, so not dramatic in its effect, but works. Really kills ants faster. Plus, that rind chemical is almost a paint remover/thinner so be careful. To see what the chemical is, take the peel of an orange, hold it up to an open flame and pinch the rind squeezing the essence into the air over the flame. You can get about an 18 inch flame depending on how 'fresh' the orange is. We used to have an orange tree. Once a year we peeled the crop in our kitchen and never had ants or spiders plus our dog liked to eat the white lining off the inside of the orange peel, so it was win-win . Then the Mediterranean Fuit Fly reared its ugly head. I was awakened one morning to find a group of people with plastic garbage bags stripping our unripened crop off our orange tree! They took everything, all the fruit, and removed it for destruction, guess it was radius of miles from ANY fruit fly found as prevention. But that year NO oranges [also almost killed the tree, took three years to recuperate] but that year we had devastating influx of ants, and spiders!! We're talking a trail to the fridge door and into the freezer door - where their little carcasses piled up, because no ant made it back to tell the rest to stop coming in! Anyway Raid House and Garden made fast work of the problem, but I learned just how effective our natural oranges were in prevention! |

I also use sticky traps and often see some scary bugs in them. Funny that snakes don't bother me but I also detest spiders. |

When they crawl over it, the exoskeleton is cut so they die from dehydration. You can eat this stuff. Found at a farm supply store. Safe for everybody...pets, etc. I've had luck with Sevin dust (don't eat) that killed Black Widows. Boric acid will also work. When they crawl on BA they start to burn and dry up (great for roaches). |

If other prey are the reason you have so many spiders, perhaps you should deal with *that* and the spiders should go away on their own. If you simply eliminate the spiders, then the existing prey will flourish and you might be even more unhappy than you are now. |

I read somewhere that a product called "Miss Muffets Revenge" does a pretty good job at elimination. Its available at Amazon. I haven't used it myself but I plan to purchase some asap. Good luck and let us know your results. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Encountering the occasional spider is a normal part of life, but if you start to notice a large number of spiders in and around your home, you should call an exterminator like Pest Control Brookfield CT, Cheshire CT, Fairfield Count CT, Fairfield CT to inspect your home for spiders that pose a health risk to your family. Spiders are one of the most feared and reviled creatures on earth. The more bugs that are drawn to the food, the more spiders you will have. Keeping your lights off will reduce both your bug and spider populations. Removing a spider web does not get rid of a spider unless you take out the spider at the same time. There are commercially available spider traps that will ensnare spiders on a sticky surface. One can also get rid of spiders the natural way, or by trying some DIY methods like spraying some bug sprays that one can easily find by looking for them at any store nearby them.
