If you are wanting to kill spiders I have to strongly advise against that. Spiders are beneficial bugs. They eat mosquitos, gnats and other nuisance bugs. If the spiders are inside, learn to gently catch them in a jar. It is very easy, just be careful and move slowly.
Take a clear glass jar so you can see the spider and place jar opening over Mr. or Ms. spider on the wall, without squishing the spider. Then take a thin postcard or magazine subscription insert card and slide it slowly, very slowly, between the jar opening and the wall or surface.
What if there BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER? I have them at work we had them treated on Monday, but they still be some in boxes. We were told to put moth balls into the boxes and tape them up.
I've been told that if you put hedgeapples, also known as Osage Orange, like under your house, when you have a spider problem, they'll rid your house of spiders.
You would not be so kind to brown recluse spiders if you have ever been bitten and had to endure the expense and pain associated with the bite.
