[QUOTE="Clay, post: 1794119"] Seeing is believing. It works. I use Pymethrin insecticides bought at Lowes and they work. When I first bought this house new I had a LOT of brown recluse spiders and I called the exterminator. After talking with him extensively about the chemicals he used, he basically told me the EPA has regulated them to using the same chems that can be bought in any store. He was using Pymethrin and said it would kill a variety of pest including fiddle backs. He said sunlight, heat and water break down the chemical in about 30 days so he said he sprays the base boards so mop water would not deactivae it. I spray as he said and all I see are dead spiders for the next 6-9 months. They dont make it 10' from the baseboard that they just walk on before they die in the middle of the room. Right now, I am behind on spraying and have seen 3-4 live healthy fiddlebacks in the last week. It will not stain carpet or woodwork and has no smell. Here is some good info and I copied a piece of it. [url]http://www.whc.net/cdwr/download/Recluse.pdf[/url] Adult spiders spend little time in direct contact with surfaces. Instead, they are found in or on webbing. Thorough applications of fine particles of insecticides such as ULV, aerosols or fogs contact spiders in their webs causing quicker population reduction. Use space sprays of [B]pyrethrins[/B] or resmethrin for useful clean outs, especially attics and crawl spaces. [/QUOTE]
