Yes. Suspend SC. Great for killing spiders. I had aan exterminator but when I had an issue with black widows outside, he didn't spray for those so I decided to do it all myself. Widows gone for years. Haven't seen a roach in 6-7 years.

Suspend SC

Buy this. Its safe for pets. you can spray inside and out. I spray bout every 6 weeks. outside the house. Spray about 2 ft up the slab and 1 ft away and your good. Kills the shite out of almost anything.

Suspend SC is a superior formula of regular Suspend. The SC means you can apply it in a damp to moist area and still be effective. When it drys it leaves behind small " pyramoidal " crystals. When the spider drags his legs on the crystals they stick. Spiders groom themselves. Eat the stuff. That's why Suspend is effective on spiders. Talstar is great for all bugs. General pest control, termites, ants etc.

Yep. A coworker told me about this and it works very well. No bugs inside house anymore and lots of dead ones on front porch and back patio. It's like it kills them on contact. I apply all around the slab of the house and on back patio and front porch every 3 months or so.

You ever smelled mothballs? Yeah? 

How'd you get their little legs open?



Mothballs have legs?




And to the op, i spray my house with the thong you posted (or somethong similar, i cant remember exactly what it is)

It works great. Only bugs we have are from doors being left open. Darn kids and dog.

Same thing as Talstar and much cheaper. Get it at tractor supply, amazon, etc

If done right, you should only have to spray outside the home, never inside especially with kids that crawl and touch everything.

Does it really matter what you're wearing when you spray?

I've always used that. Spray inside and out a few times a year. Spray penetrations more often. Never had an issue. There is another one you can hook up to a hose that works well in the yard. Keeps ants and other insects away.

I've been using Suspend SC inside for years even with three crawling kids. Low mamallian toxicity. Not a single issue.

I own a pest control company, and for subterranean termites, use Taurus (same stuff as Termidor). You can also use that as an exterior pesticide application twice a year. It works incredibly well.
