    Over run by spiders!
    Can someone please tell me how I can get rid of spiders in my home.

    I have a variety of types and they are driving me crazy!

    I know my next question will be how to get rid of the bugs that the spiders are eating but I will ask that one at a later time.
    :eek:

    Hi, smford!

    How to get rid of spiders in the home is a subject that's addressed on numerous sites all over the Internet. So, a click on the following search might be a good thing to do.

    Getting Rid of Spiders in the Home - Google Search

    The most important question that would seem to me to need to be addressed first would be is, how are the spiders getting into your home in the first place? And then, taking to measures to insure that they are not able to get into your home very easily. It's normal to have some spiders in a home. The really tiny ones can get in through the gaps in window screens.

    I had a lot of spiders in my home a long time ago. When painting my basement, I found that a basement window was ajar just enough to allow the spiders to come in. It had been ajar for a number of years, and I just hadn't noticed that it was like that.

    Do you know where the spiders might be coming into your home, please?

    Thanks!

    I know raid makes a purely SPIDER killer in a spray can. My boyfriends mother sprays it once a month or so around the house. Even in the house and poof spiders gone. Mind you she is like so terrified if you told her you saw one a mile down the road. She would avoid that spot
