Spiders

My issue with them is more due to the trees in the area. I have no trash, wood piles, standing water or anything like that. Im real compulsive with how the area looks to neighbors and what not, it stays free of everything except the dirt the dogs run on. I dont want to cut the trees down though because as much of a pain in the ass as they are with shedding leaves and stuff, they provide an awesome canopy for the dogs against the rain, sun and even snow until the leaves are fully gone from the trees. Plus, no one can see my yard from any angle when the trees are in full bloom. I've just learned to live with them since they dont normally bother the dogs and none are poisionous. I do spray the area once a month and also use sleven dust on the ground and in the bedding of the dog houses. I use bronco spray on the dogs every 2 or 3 days for the pests that fly. None really seem to reduce the spider populations though. Keeps everything else away though lol.

 

Danny B that dont work ..My place is spotless and I still got spiders..With that being said I went back this morning swept all the floors and porches just to see how the Raid Bug Barrier is working..This is day 2 and I swept up 5 dead spiders.So far so good ,time will tell.

 

Yeah. I spend a good amount of $ every year on hauling junk and debre plus the man hours keeping things tidy. Without doing it I'd have a lot more insects and places for spiders to dig in and get comfortable. I've got a old wood warehouse that I set off a few of those raid bug bombs and there were probably 10000 dead spiders the next morning, lol. Worked good but I would tear it down an put up a metal structure if I wasnt moving.

 

I got a nice yard.The land i live on been in the family a long time so I am very familiar with what is what..This has just been a unusu yeear for the spider population.And its just not me it everyone around here..I bust cobwebs down couple times a day.But the Raid seems to be helping for right now.

 

To get rid of spiders buy yourselfs a couple of jugs of Ortho Home Defese and spray all around your house, kennels and coops once a Month.

 

I got em on the run now.The raid bug barrier seems to be working.I got 2 diff kinds of black widows I got the black ones and the brown ones.They the brown ones bite is alot worse than the black..Found a dead black one a couple days ago.

 

Celler spiders keep them around they eat other spiders

Was that the spiders in that video making noises....creepy

 

I believe that was for added effect

 

Yeah, it has been a real rough year for spiders. Mosquitos have been insane in the northeast this year.

 

Try crab apples, break them apart but keeps the spiders and few more flys, not bad though.

 

I've been bitten by both the Black widow and the Brown recluse. The Balack widow bite made me feel sick and dizzy for a couple of weeks. The Brown recluse bit me 4 times on the face, the worst being right on my nose, which left a permanent scar.
Oh well just another goofy mark.

 

I know this is old but AGK all spiders are poisonous.
