Came across a black widow in the garage today. Made the mistake of telling the wife. Looking for a spray that will kill and hopefully keep them away for a period of time. We have no pets but do have an infant

Talstar-spray lawn and exterior perimeter of your house (from slab up about a 2') and your soffit

Suspend or demon max in home/garage

Suspend has no odor and is one of the safest insecticides to use if you have pets.

Cy-Kick 16 oz bottle will make quite a few mixtures. Good for the entire home and kills most anything. Great for our scorpion problems here in the desert

Get a small spray bottle and some of the peppermint essential oils. Put a few drops of the oil in the bottle and fill it with water. Spray the thresholds, windows, anywhere where they may be or come in at.

Spiders and ants hate that shite.

What about thieves or panaway? Think those will work too?

I use Demon WP and it works great. Spray weep holes, windows, door frames, edge under soffits, ac unit, utility entry points, etc. I also spray it randomly in the attic and in some corners in the house. Takes about an hour or two to dry, then it's safe

Generally kills on contact up to 3 months after application.

Lambdastar Ultracap 9.7

I've used this and I've used Suspend in the past but I always get better results with the Lambdastar.

The peppermint oil spray does work for spiders, but not for very long. We also dip cotton balls in the oil and put them near windows, which last longer than the spray.
