You might try Talstar or Bifen but spiders are a different breed, not sure
it will kill them it might just make them stay away. Do a search on Ebay for Talstar so you will know what to expect for a price. "The Webbers Hilltop Cycle ATV" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Raz I would imagine using an aerosol bomb or fogger: http://gardening.wsu.edu/library/inse005/inse005.htm You may want to cover plastic seats on atv's before setting off bombs or doing extensive spraying as finish may be affected. I'm not fond of the large spiders that pop up in my family room and lay down some of the sticky mouse traps that will also catch bugs. Frank |

In my house, in my shop, in my garage, in my garden. They don't generally setup housekeeping unless there's adequate food supply. Otherwise, they move on. They are nature's version of insect "roundup". Generally, you leave them alone, they pay the same favor. You probably need something more than to kill the spiders if they've been there for a couple of weeks. Hopefully, you'll figure it out without chemical aids. Dave |

I had this big beautiful intricate web strung between a Japanese Maple and a Rhododendron. It was about 2' across. My wife accidentally walked through it and destroyed it. The next day, there was another great web between the rear view mirror and the door latch end on my truck with an anchor going down to the driveway. I felt bad destroying it so I could move my truck. I'm looking around for another that I can photograph. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Over to the damage. Up the web to the deck. Across the deck to where the broken support had been. Back across the deck, down the web to the damaged spot. Done. Bob |

I am impressed with them. I have a few in my basement office. I have been working on my computer when one would rappel down from the ceiling down in front of the monitor. I grab the rappel line about a foot above the spider and move him/her over to the wall area.. For the record, I kill nor harm any animals (especially mammals), nor bugs, insects, or anything not a plant. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Then do yourself a favor and never look at the grill of your automobile..it might put you over the edge... Lar I have, and if there is a dead bird in there, I get mad that I killed it. I have killed baby bunnies that were left by their mother in a small hole in my lawn that would not have held a softball, with my mower, and felt bad all day. I feel for anything I kill by accident. I do not kill anything on purpose. However, I must say, that there are many humans that I would kill without a second thought. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

He was there for about a month. He moved to the fence. Made web between the fence top and the fence post that extends up 8' at the gate entry. He's about 3" across at the legs, black and yellow in color. Same species spider made web between the ground and the top of the front tire on my parked pickup. Both have been out those locations for about a month. I will have to drive my pickup soon, hope he moves okay. Dave |

This time of the year is spider breeding season, so the males are wandering around looking for a mate. These spiders most likely have been in the shop the whole time and now your seeing them out in the open. Before you bomb the place or lay down a bunch of chemicals that will kill the spiders and otherwise harm you, I would highly suggest that you look at spider traps. These have worked very well for me and this is a great time of the year to use them. They have a pheromone that attracts them to their sticky demise!

I have swept the ones up in the middle of the florr but I haven't moved things around from the walls to sweep all the dead ones. Could this be attracting the spiders ? and keeping them alive ?

Thanks, Raz Spiders catch live prey. An urban acre is supposed to have a population of over a million spiders...an acre of meadow land can be between 2-5 million spiders. Along with if you are in a part of the country that has been extra wet this year there will be extra foods for spiders thus allowing even higher spider numbers in a given area. Lar 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, Raz |
