spiders ?

Big question is, what kind of spiders are they. Mostly all spiders if
left alone will not be a problem. Some of which can easily be handled
without biting.

Have you looked into what type of spiders they are?

If they're BIG, they could be wolf spiders;

Rather harmless and will avoid you.

Or are they this one;

Which gives good reason to destroy them since they will bite on contact
and cause medical issues in 25% of their bites or so.

I've got the latter in my house actually. Just moved in a month ago and
the place was infested. Haven't done much to kill them however. In fact,
just general cleaning and living in the house keeps them away since they
are indeed recluse.

At any rate, see if you can ID the type of spiders they are before
stomping on them. They may be providing a nice service to you by keeping
the insect population in your shed in check.

Oh, if you DO seek a pro, they will do a 2 or 3 step process. First will
be a toxic bomb that will kill anything living on contact. The second
will be a powder based product.

Problem is, spiders breath through their abdomen, which alot of spiders
keep off the ground. Without that contact the common sprays do not work.

Have crawl space access under the shed? Try sevin dust at the edge of
the crawl space or just under it. Just make sure kids and pets can not
get to it.

HHHHMMM lets see , we got record rainfall this year and I live on an acreage .
I guess this might be my problem . But I have lived in tow many years and
won't ever go back. So, I guess I can live with the spiders but I would still
rather not.
Thanks,

The alternative could be worse. Think about what spiders eat.

Old timers would pickup Hedgeapples and put them areas they wanted to
keep spiders away from. They clam it works.

We use them in the shop and garage, but we sit them on Foil since they
tend to mold/rot after a couple months.

Yeah, I killed all the spiders in my tool shed and now it is loaded with
curds and whey :-)

I use the hedgeapples every year. I place them on Aluminum foil in corners
and under the open countertop sections of my workbench. I can't say that
they work but I don't see very many spiders...of course I don't see any
elephants at all so they must work for them also...:)
