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.

I would imagine using an aerosol bomb or fogger:

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.

Generally, I leave spiders alone. 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.

I haven't seen Garden spiders in a few years, but this year they seem to
have had a resurgence.
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.

I broke one support line on a web the other day. It was fascinating to watch the
spider replace the damaged support. It took him about 2 minutes. 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.

Fantastic. 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.

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.

Got a spider that had a 6 foot web between the top rail and ceiling on front
porch. 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.

Good day.
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!

Good luck........

I did forget to mention that I had a lot of crickets in the early summer so
I sprayed for them. 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 ?

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.

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.

We use them in the shop and garage, but we sit them on Foil since they

they work but I don't see very many spiders...of course I don't see any
