Spiders and webs in the house

[IraqRon]

After sweeping the webs and spiders all over the house for the umpteenth time today, I want to ask if any readers here have developed a successful method for reducing their populations.   They return and return and the webs trap dust and dirt, etc. and then stick to the broom then fall off when sweeping.  Very frustrating.  Help please!!!!

It sounds like you are exaggerating a bit, "After sweeping the webs and spiders all over the house for the umpteenth time today" ,Spiders are your friend, you must have a lot of

mosquitoes for to have so many spiders,as that's what they are living on. did you already

get rid of the Gecko's, ? , as they would be eating your plague of spiders..

Repeating the process will usually get the message across.  Maybe spray in the cracks you think they might be nesting.

"Magiclean" kitchen spray causes even the biggest spiders (5 or 6 cm across - tip of leg to tip of leg) to curl up and die. 

 

And kitchen paper will clean the mess up.  ????

Spray insect repellent in every room, and spray the webs daily until they are gone, then they will have nothing to trap in their webs. Buy a Vacuum cleaner.

Geckos are your friend, but you'll get tired of their poop. (I've given up worrying about them. We just wipe the base boards and walls as needed).

Last year had a spider in shower on a place, i think, what are you doing there, you will never find food this way. I killed it. This year another one came at the exact same spot.

OK now just let it be and live with the spider.

OK it is really not a nasty one like in Thailand or a black widow.

A spider IS NOT an insect.   (Just being a tw**t)!)

A live-in full time maid for cleaning seemed to reduce the problem quite well in my house, but having no maid at the moment it's a nightmare, it's like acting in a horror movie...????

I agree as I said they will have nothing to eat, insects that is.
