2. Pick up an odorless spray to kill spiders in your home. Suspend has a product that kills spiders and will not leave an odor or residue behind.

3. Use a cobweb eliminator to get rid of the webs around your home or in your yard. You put the spray on the cobwebs and they disappear. It also prevents spiders from forming new webs in the areas that you spray.

4. Vacuum spider infested areas of your home. You can use a vacuum cleaner to suck up spiders, their eggs and cobwebs.
