How to get rid of spiders inside my Apt?!!?
Question:I have these spiders... not blackwidows/wolf/recluse/longl... They are a little bigger than a nickel, no web, fat body and run fast.. I have had 13 in 3 weeks all the same size so i am assuming there is a nest in here... HOW DO I GET RID OF THE MONSTERS?!
Answers:
I HATE Spiders too... but we have some wolf spiders that run around our house... (mostly outside, but I have seen a few inside.) But, it helps to know that in North America, there are only two spiders are harmful to people--the blackwidow and brown recluse.
The good thing about them (if there are any good things...) is that they are keeping other bugs out... or at least killing them before you see them.
To kill spiders I would usually get some kind of spray cleaner (or air freshener) and spray the heck out of it... if it's a foaming cleaner that happens to be nearby, I leave it until the foam is gone, then pick it up... but, whatever it is, it usually works quickly.
If you want to know what kind of spiders they are, get a jar, cover the spider if you can catch one, place a piece of paper under it, then turn it right side up... pour rubbing alchol into the jar and put a lid on it. Take it to pest control place and see if they know (if they don't know, I wouldn't use them for pest control...)
But, they fewer insects you have in the house, the fewer the spiders you have around.
Call the pest control people to get rid of them in the whole place not just on the surface you can get rid of them in the roof and everything this way
moth balls.spread them around (and it doesn't have to be overbearing). You can broadcast moth balls in your yard also to keep snakes and crawfish away.
Your local chemist will have oil of cloves, mix it with water 50/50 and shake, use a hand spray bottle, an old window cleaner bottle or similar is ideal, and spray where you see the most spiders the don't like the smell, although it is not unpleasant to humans.
