Spiders Yuk, One thing I have learned during my tussle with termites is that the same spray applied as a fine mist provides a very good surface protection from spiders and kills them all very dead.. The chemical used by my first pest control bloke was Bifenthrin. At a dilution of 0.25% kills spiders for about six months and apparently not humans or pets. It is available from most farm supplies for about $45 for 1 ltr of concentrate which makes about 400 Ltrs of spider spray. I got my place sprayed and no spiders but the termites are still feasting away. Mongrels.
