      Don't kill spiders they are the best insects just catch them in jar and move them outside.
      I am always seeing big huntsman spiders they are smart creatures moving into shadows and are self aware had to catch sure but they will do your garden some good keeping ticks and other insects away. I get lots after days of rain but i never kill them i just move them.

          As I said, they can be outside all they want and I don't and won't bother them - I don't keep my gardens in the house and I have animals outside that need them and their protection - but in my house - this won't be happening - not again!!

              Yep. I had recent flurry of scorpion activity here at my place.

              So I sprayed some pro strength home insecticide. But it doesn't hurt scorpions (even the sprays that claim they are for scorpions).

              So I called some professional exterminators. The way they do it is a "bug hunt". They actually come to your house at night with black light (scorpions glow under black light) and kill them by hand!

              Anyway, I started googling on how to get rid of scorpions. And the method that was described as the absolute best was: To get a cat!

                  I seem to remember seeing something about using empty coffee-cans as DIY scorpion traps. You bury the cans up to the rim, and the scorpions will fall in and not be able to climb out. Periodically check the traps and kill or relocate as you see fit.

                  My problem is that my girl cat will bring me her catches still alive if I am home. She'll whine at the door and when I open it she steps inside and drops whatever she is holding. Summer before last I had three live lizards running around the house at one point, which kept the other two cats thoroughly entertained.

                    Actually what I did was get those sticky traps. They are basically pieces of cardboard covered with a glue substance that will actually stop a mouse in it's tracks!

                    I put 3 or 4 of those around the office and sure enough...the things are covered with bugs and a few scorpions.

                    My cat died earlier this year (he was 20 years old and eaten up with cancer)...and I just didn't want to get another cat and live with cat hair all over the place for another 20 years.
                    So the sticky traps seem to do the trick.

                    Not sure if they would work for most spiders since they seem to live in webs (except the big "hunter" type spiders)

                      A friend was bitten by a Brown Recluse several years ago and the doctor's biggest concern was necrosis setting in.

                      The one thing that has stuck with me from the research we did at the time - aside from the whole pain and necrosis concern - was that the Brown Recluse doesn't "groom" itself the way most spiders do. As such your normal spider sprays/powders/etc will rarely get them because they won't get the chemical in their mouth. The only thing that's pretty much guaranteed to get them is fumigating the whole house and garage if it's not part of the house. (Disclaimer - I can't swear the above info is factual but it's the way I remember it.)

                      Hope you heal up without any permanent scars - Good luck!

                        That doesn't work when you have invasion,you just need to kill them.Especially those giant spiders which could jump on your head and poke your eye lol.Once i had an invasion of mini "dot size"spiders,there was literally thousand of them,how did they got to my room is beyond me,i spent 2 hours by vacuuming them.

                              What does the bounce sheet do? Other than make my house smell good, of course. lol

                              I am not so sure packing sugar in it would have been such a brilliant idea as I am a Diabetic - but thank you.

                              It's all but closed up now - and my Dr's appt is tomorrow - but all that's left now is the itching like crazy where the skin is healing and tightening back up. It has a ways to go, sure - but the Clay packs and Echinacea have REALLY done some miracle healing on it.

                              I do appreciate the help here - some of the things have helped a great deal and it's much appreciated.

                                But I seem to be killing at least one a day in my house - does anyone here know how to get rid of these things? I've never had a single one in my house and now am seeing them more often - so I don't know if I have a nest of them or they are just worse this time of the year or what - I just know they are some mean little bastards!
                                Go to the doctor immediately, they carry a disease called necrotizing fasciitis, it is a skin rotting condition and if untreated will spread all the way to your heart and kill you. I am very serious about this, don't pass go, and consult your doctor immediately.

                                I hope you are okay
