I haven't been bitten yet but I think my daughter has... its jus a small mark on her arm that itches her really bad... I'm scared to sleep because I think they will crawl into my bed. what to do what to do.

My problem is almost every night I get bitten by a spider, sometimes many times in a row. I was told that they like to walk across my bed, and when I roll over, I trap them. They are trying to escape. I did a really big cleaning around my bed, but it happened again last night. If they didn't keep biting me, I wouldn't care if they are there. I'm off to buy some spider traps. War!

Daniel I hope this helps.

I found a great way to get rid of spiders. Get a regular size spray bottle and fill it about 80% full with warm water. Then, add about 20 - 30 drops of essential peppermint oil to the water. Give it a little shake and then spray it around the areas where you see spiders or where they get into your house. They hate the smell of peppermint. I sprayed it around on my patio and they started running from every direction! Also, another helpful hint: Get a cat. They love to eat the little pests! -

Spiders usually don't bother me that much, but yesterday I found a huge black one crawling on the floor! It was the sice of a m&m...just not as chocolaty :) If that thing would have made it into my bed I would have freaked out like a little girl ( no offense to little girls).

I'm a certified pest control applicator in north Texas. The tips by the staff expert are very good. The most important things you can do are regular cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, and most importantly.... REDUCE CLUTTER!!! Electonic pest control units do not work. The entomologists at Texas A&M University have proven that they do not work. Don't waste your money. If you have a severe infestation of Scorpions or Brown Recluses, call a professional. There are some residual chemicals that are effective against arachnids such as Demand CS .06%, and Demon WP .02%, Drione, DE, and crack and crevice residual aerosols. Qualified professionals know how to apply the correct ammount to kill spiders without harming people or pets.

I was told to hang pantyhose filled with moth balls in the basement. Spiders don't like the smell and will not enter. I tried this, and it seemed to work. Also, it removed the musty damp smell from the basement.

I suggest lemon products, like lemon furniture polish , especially for doorways and windows. Or, you could take some lemon dish soap and mix it with some water and spray around spider's hiding spots. Spider balls may work for you, but I don't find they work, they attract spiders instead.

Use diatomaceous earth, (which is a natural product, not a pesticide) around the perimeter of your house. It is a very fine dust, so wear a dust mask. I use it once or twice a year. Insects and spiders walk through it and die, because it "cuts" their outer surface and kills them. I also use the Black and Decker electronic pest control units inside the house. Both of these together will vastly decrease your pests of all types!

Put BORIC ACID behind refridgerators, walls, cabinets and any place you can get the boric acid. Use a long straw to get behind counters and stove. In a few days, you will be rid of roaches!!!

Spiders Like PROPANE! "Smylie" spiders are attracted to propane. To keep them out of your RV/Motorhome propane lines (water heater, refrigerator, etc.) hang long pieces of any cheap cat flea collar near flu openings. For some reason, they don't like the smell. IMPORTANT: If a spider crawls into a propane line to the water heater, etc. they will make a web inside the line and propane CANNOT get through. Therefore, when you try to light it, it may blow up in your face...
