"The Webbers Hilltop Cycle ATV" wrote in message ... I am getting large spiders in my shop . I mean huge hairy ones. What kind of spray works the best that I can mix up an put in my spayer to kill these spiders ? Just wondering what you guys have used with succes ? What would like a professional use , say like Orkin or other contractors ? Thanks, Raz 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; http://nalts.files.wordpress.com/200...olf_spider.jpg Rather harmless and will avoid you. Or are they this one; http://www.critterridders.com/p1120525.jpg 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. |
