    Raid bug bombs

    We are haveing a problem with spiders in the house and I have tried several different things over the last few months and nothing seems to help. main issues is wife is deathly afraid of spiders and we have a 2 year old.

    has anybody used the raid bug bomb and do they work and what other things do we need to do with them or is there something better we can use?

    The bug bombs didnt work for me. I have my house sprayed every few months works much better than anything you can buy at the store. If you live in the country get some chickens. They'll eat the bugs.

      they say no matter where you are, you are never more than three feet from a spider.

          you should call the green goblin he always is after spidey! but in all seriousness we went Ortho on the spiders...seems to have made a big difference at the ranch. not a complete wipe out but but greatly improved except for the quarter sized black widow that came out of my welding ground handle as I went to hook it up yesterday...had to clean my pants after that. good luck

            Ortho Home Defense is what I've been spraying. Inside and out every few weeks. I thought it was working well until last night when I killed a wolf spider the size of a small dog.

              Go to a hardware store (not a box store. Ace, true value etc) or feed store and get Demon. You mix it in a pump sprayer. It will kill everything!!! Especially spiders. I hate them creatures.

                      Thanks a lot..I'm deathly afraid of them and we have our home sprayed and the yards and trees. I've barely seen any spiders since.

                      Also I heard if There we're no spiders we'd literally be breathing in flying insects

                        Here is what we use. It is a generic version of a product used by the pest control specialists. Our big problem was scorpions. It also kills spiders and fleas. I spray every other week for 3 to 4 applications, inside and outside the house, to get control. I spray once per quarter to keep control.

                          Spray it around your baseboards on the inside and first two feet from the bottom, and first 2 feet from the eve outside every month. Make sure to drench the outside real good.

                          2000 square feet house and it takes one bottle for the outside alone.

                          And thank me later.

                            I'm fine with the wolf spiders but the brown recluse I killed in my sons room was the last straw. Thanks for the advice

                              I use that but it doesn't seem to stop the bad spiders like the recluses and widows
