I use Miracle II products. spray inside and outside of house. works great. What don't like at all is snakes.

Hah! I always joke with DH when I see a spider, "Oh great, now I'm going to have to burn the house down"...this guy took it a little too seriously!

Not a very smart man. You can buy any, roach AND spider spray that works fine and doesn't cause that kind of damage

In the end, the spider both lost and won!

My dad would take the daddy-long-legs and put them very gently outside. He said they ate the mosquitos. I, on the other hand, flush them down the toilet hoping they can swim. Regular spiders get murdered. Yuck!

Spray them with hairspray. That stops them!

I usually give spiders a pass because they eat other bugs (and they are too fast for me to catch them). But in the new place I just moved to, there are spider webs ALL OVER the outside of the place and they actually poop on the windows.

Is there some common household product I can spray to deter them from making webs there? It is vinyl siding with lots of weird angles that are perfect for webs.

I'll take your snakes and give you my spiders.

I'm a bit tender hearted for some bugs like lady bugs, crickets, june bugs, etc. I'll pick them up and take them outside. Spiders on the other hand...THEY GONNA DIE! haha[/QUOTE]

june bugs are bad --their larval form eat roots of trees and ornamental shrubs/bushes. in this area lady bugs bite (hard!) in the fall & spiders just crawl back in ....kill 'em all is my motto.

no! you can not have my snakes! ...or my sweet little scorpions ....
