I've probably killed 20 over the last couple of weeks. Sprayed some Talstar P around the house this morning. I have to spray pretty much every month to keep the spiders in check. Supposedly they eat vegetative matter and need water. Seems like the landscaping would be the perfect place for them to call home. Why the frick are they in my house? Anything else I should be doing?

I use suspend SC as a liquid spray around the exterior of the house and talstar xtra for the landscaping yards. Keeps all the bugs at bay.

They're coming inside to get out of the heat.

Demon WP is also great for those and spiders, can usually get it at farm and ranch/feed stores.

Ortho Home Defense usually does pretty well against spiders and roaches but I haven't had luck with earwigs.

Roll up newspapers and place around the house.
The earwigs will migrate to them.
At 48 hours, open and slit their throats, or toss in gasoline.

Wear earplugs when sleeping.

I have killed quite a few in my kids bathroom lately.

Worst one was the other night I was up at about 3:30am feeding my daughter and one of those nasty motherfrickers was crawling on my neck

They're only attracted to really filthy households.

Found one in my room at The Grand at Point Clear Alabama last weekend. Hadnt seen one anywhere else in a while. Is that a filthy resort or is it just Alabama?
