Ok I don't know what's going on this year but we have a lot of spiders around the outside of our home and they're not the cute little daddy long leg kind! They're the ugly ones! I know that one was a wolf spider but I've seen atleast 5 different kinds. They are creating various webs along the outside of our house and on the basketball hoop. We've had two of the ugly jumping ones about the size of a nickel in our house and I don't want the larger 50cent piece ugly ones in my house!!!! Anyway does anyone have any advice?? I really can't afford a professional to come take a look. Any all natural or cheap hardware stuff you know that works?? Thanks!!

Dont do spiders

I dont do spiders! I have my husband buy the home deffense (think thats the one). There is one that comes in the white bottle and one in the blue. Its about $10-15 at menards or lowes. He strays around the outside of the house and around the outside of the windows about every 3-4 months and we hardly have any spiders. You could probably spray the inside but since we have a baby on the floor and stuff I just have him do the outside and we have been doing it for about 3 years and it works great.
He also buys cutters, you hook it up to your hose (i think it was about $8) and he sprays the yard, flowers, fence, swing set..everything outside. Its kills all the bugs. We have a 80% bug free back yard. He does that about once every 4-6week in the summer and its awesome. The only bad thing with that is you have to keep pets and kids off the grass until it dries.

Me too

I sprayed my house with flea killer but still have spiders everywhere- I did find how they are getting into the house so easy, but I just have a ton of dead and alive ones everywhere. Once I fixed the boarded up window I'm not so worried but do they have bombs that kill ALL bugs because I can't get into the crawl space to kill them.
