Creepy!! I have not been able to sleep in my bedroom downstairs since I was not fast enough to squash that monster--I appreciate the info and would hope other readers will keep in mind that NONE of the items listed should be consumered by people or animals so use common sense/precautions when using. It all sounds safer and less placing the suggested and I started wondering about all the ones I had not yet seen. gererally poisionous than calling out the pest control company or fogging up you home with the do-it-yourself spider bombs. Keep up the good work - BTW I found your site when searching for ways to get rid of spiders. Glad I found your other interesting posts as well. Cheers!

I've never seen so many big creepy spiders. How did the Orange Guard work for you? Someone told me to mix bleach with water and spray around all perimeters of my house and outside as well.

I believe the article was referring to cardboard and clutter, either of these things can be found in the house of someone who has recently moved or has small children. “um seriously” should not let fifteen year-olds post.

I have been finding black widows outside and inside for weeks now. We live in Central California, and we are plagued by these. I bought an all natural citrus spray called Orange Guard online and just sprayed it outside around the perimeter of the house. I hope it works. I found a black widow in the bathroom in the middle of the night when I went in, next to the toilet, and way too close to my leg! The blog is wonderful..... Thank you so much.

The oil will coat the spider and the vinegar is like acid to them. They will leave and never come back. This also works for ants and crawling bugs.

During the day, they are the tiny red spiders. At night we see much larger gray ones. I can't tell you how many times I have been bitten all over my feet & ankles. Can someone help with that?

I mixed lavender soap and water and sprayed it around the window-frames, and have sprinkled baking soda around and under the bed. The worst thing is that I know there is a big one somewhere, but I can't find it. It's been hiding for a day now. I hope this all works and I don't have to feel disgusted and uneasy in my own room!

His point is use it properly and kill the bugs - the bugs are more harmful to your kids. We use it on all laundry and many other things. It is good for septic tanks, your pipes in your house and toilets. But like other cleaners - don't ingest it and keep from kids. Do you homework first berfore making dumb commments.

I have a LOT of spiders in my house. You can clean all the cob webs and kill all the spiders and the next morning the spider webs are back and so are the spiders. We have been seeing your norm spiders but also the really big long legged black spiders the size of a wolf spider but black. what is it.....I let you know how it works out....I have a 2 year old grandson and he loves to get into things and I don't want to take the chance with pesticides Thanks I am going to try all of these.
