What is the best way to be rid of spiders ?

sdsester

Shop vac all the webs and egg sacks. Empty the shop vac immediately or toss its collection bag. Then call an exterminator. The consumer pesticides for spiders are a waste of money.

If you do call an exterminator see if this is not what they say.

Spiders can come in on your clothes, or catch a ride on your animals as they come in, there blown around in the wind when hanging trying to make a new web, can be getting in undersiding, through all the holes where plumbing and wiring was run under the house.

Sealing up the holes, checking for holes and sealing them is about all you can do.
Just kill them as you see them.

Do as Joe said....deny them access to the house....

But instead of killing them...Catch em' and transport them to your garden....they will eat the other bugs.....

Spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them.....at least that is what I tell myself....I hate spiders....

But...there is one exception....Black Widow nests....if you see white spiky balls...those are black widow nests...kill them.

There are several products you can use that are similar if not exactly the same that you would pay a pest professional to use.
I think we can't mention specific websites but if you were to google "do it yourself Pest Control" to find ways of how to do your own pest control you will probably find useful websites. Check Amazon too.

I personally used the Demon WP which contains cypermethrin when we first moved into the house (sprayed inside floorboards and outside foundation/doors/windows) after it had been empty for months. After 3 weeks we've only seen one spider inside. All around the doors into the house there are piles and piles of dead bugs who came in contact with the residual of the cypermethrin, some of those bugs were spiders too.

I've been using Demon Max for years. I use it inside and out and still have lots of spiders in the house. Most are babies, but once in a while a bigger one shows up. I have found a bunch of dead ones around the house, so I know it's working.. They're just getting around the spray.. I just can't figure out just how they're getting in.. The house is well sealed and I'm guessing they're getting in through the soffit and down through the attic.. I have a large oak tree in front that hangs over the house and see a lot of spiders come down from the tree.. I hate spiders.. I've probably killed at least one a day for the last few weeks now..

Demon WP and Demon Max both have the same active ingredient: cypermethrin. The big difference is the wp (wettable powder) is much more “available” to the insect, especially spiders than is the liquid concentrate that is Demon Max. The WP can leave a milky white deposit on finished surfaces, but it is easily wiped off. With spiders you want a wp, suspension, or micro-encapsulation and Demon Max is none of these; simply an emulsion.
