[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2502710, member: 26737"] If you read the fine print on the poisons that say they kill arachnids, it usually says that it only works if you directly spray them, and there are no residual effects. I don't know why they're different than other pests, but maybe it's that they're not social animals--some pesticides, like boric acid and Termidor, supposedly work well on ants and termites because they carry it back to the nest and other ants ingest it during grooming activities. Supposedly, spiders don't like eucalyptus, so you can put that around the places they'd go to keep them from going there. Can't say I've ever tried it, though. And I had a long-haired cat get into a glue trap once. That was a freaking mess and a half; I had to take the dog clippers to her... [/QUOTE]
