Biggest issue for us was too much humidity in our home. They thrive on that. Once we got a dehumidifier and sprayed the inside and outside of the home with Ortho Defense 2x /year max, we’ve had no issues.

Op do you happen to live in the 757? That was on our news out here too.

@pp a local rock radio station does a segment on dumb news and they talked about that ??

So I kid you not, someone close to our city burnt their house and other apartments had to be evacuated because someone tried to kill a spider with a blow torch type lighter!

We are going to try a few of these suggestions. Thank you!!!!

Tea tree essential oil or peppermint essential oil

I use 2 week raid inside our home and spray the door frames if theres lots already in the house I do the along the bace boards kinda tracing the frame of the house and rooms as spiders love door frames and running along the bace boards, that usually does the trick also spray around the furnace vents as well as they could be coming in and out from there as well

Those are good. Also, if they are coming from the outside, it helps to check for gaps in doors, windows, walls, etc. And seal them up. If it's not wet outside, diatamaceous earth sprinkled around the house perimeter helps. I've also read planting mint, lavender, and lemon grass plants help keep pests away. Some essential oils help, too. But if you have pets and small children, some oils can be harmful. I'm not up to date on those? but other ladies in here are!

If you want a natural way. They don't like teatree oil you can make a diluted spray by putting some in water spray around windows and doors. You can really spray all over the house.

? burn the house down!
