Oh My Gosh! I'm in love with an exterminator! This was everything I hoped
for as far as discouraging spiders goes! I am a vegetarian and I won't kill
anything I won't eat (look out tuna!) and I have two cats and I won't
expose them to harmful chemicals. I am changing my outside light bulbs and
getting a web-brush remover thingy first thing tomorrow morning! Wish me
luck and thank you very much!

How do I keep spiders from around my windows. They poop and leave a mess
even though I do not see them.

They are attracted to lights coming from the windows at night. Close your
curtains or turn off your lights.

Hi Rick,
I live in Haymarket, VA and have wolf spiders in my backyard. I was using Ortho Home Defense Max which keeps it somewhat under control, but not as much as I'd like in the basement. I was using a home service called "HomeShield" which was bought out by Terminix and unfortunately Terminix prices are extreme and when they came to my house today, I was totally not impressed with the service they provided, versus homeshield and the detail spray they provided in my home.
Is there a product over the counter or online that I can buy that is of a professional grade that you could recommend so that I can save money and not pay $500 a year for Terminix?
Thank you,
David Feliciano

Spider control is difficult, but there are products that will provide some
relief. Please read the short article at this link:
http://www.asktheexterminator.com/spiders/Spider_Control.shtml. It has two
links in the article that will take you to some good spider control
products.

Hello! I care for an outside bathhouse facility in which the light stays on
24/7 (out of my control), we are overrun with what we call granddaddy long
leggs. We use a leaf blower to remove them temporarily just to have them
return in full force by days end. They are so bad that the people using
the bathhouse are fearful of them falling our their heads. They are just
large piles of them all over every roof "seam". Is there anything we can do
to discourage them from returning? I really don't do well with spiders of
any kind (even the ones that aren't really spiders).. Thanks... Creeped out
in Louisiana...Jennifer

Try some applications of Talstar Pro on the sides of the bathhouse and
under the roofline where the spiders hide. You can see this product at this
link: http://shop.asktheexterminator.com/talstar-pro.html. There's a label
at that site, as well.
