PESTICIDE TREATMENT:

1. Spider Elimination Kit
   Treat the perimeter of the building with a professional residual pesticide such as Cynoff WP, Demon WP or Suspend SC at maximum strength.  We do not suggest trying to control black widow spider, brown recluse spider or other spiders or scorpions with the use of pesticides purchased in grocery stores, hardware stores or big home supply stores.   They rarely work!  As you can see, all of the suggested pesticides are professional wettable powder or microencapsulated formulations. These products not only give you a super long residual kill with no odor, they also provide large particles on sprayed surfaces. This will give you the "knockdown" that you need to eliminate and control spiders.
2. Indoors, you may also spray with Cynoff WP, Demon WP or Suspend SC  in areas where spiders enter, hide or hunt for food. These areas may include baseboards, window sills, closets or around plumbing lines. For heavy infestations, you also need to use a contact aerosol such as Pyrethrin aerosol or Airdevil.
3. In areas where spiders are heavy web builders, Cobweb Eliminator should be used two to three times per year indoors and on a quarterly basis outdoors. This will help eliminate existing webs and keep spiders from re-building more unsightly webs around windows, lights, in corners or other areas of your home.
4. For heavy infestations in attics and crawlspaces, power dusting with Delta Dust would be best.
5. Save money, order our Spider Elimination Kit.  If necessary, order Delta Dust as extra integrated pest management tool for spider elimination.

Use chemical and non-chemical measures to control Brown Recluse Spider, Black Widow Spider and other bugs that either pose a threat to your family or are otherwise unwanted in and around your home.  For spider bite information, go to the Brown Recluse Spider Bite web page.

NON-CHEMICAL CONTROL:

1. Use Cobweb Eliminator to prevent formation of spider webs.
2. Eliminate or shield outdoor lights or bright indoor lights that attract the spiders’ insect food source.
3. Trim weeds around the building foundation and remove debris to discourage insects and spiders from living next to a structure.
4. Seal openings and install screens and door sweeps to prevent spiders (as well as other unwanted pests) from moving indoors.
5. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove webs, spiders and their egg sacs.  Spider elimination includes prevention of entry, reduction of spider food and any condition that might encourage spider invasion or reproduction.
