Wonder if moth balls would keep spiders away?
I have spiders all over in my barn/shop, including Black Widows. Every time I open a drawer or pick up something, I have to look for spiders.
I've sprayed for them with Demon XP, but I still see them.
An exterminator told me one time that the insecticide has to actually hit spiders to kill them. And he said that unlike other insects, they're not affected by walking through the spray residue. He says that a fogger works best for them. He also said that the best thing to do is take away their food source (insects), but my old tin shop has so many gaps & holes in it, that insects keep coming in from outside. And I don't think using foggers would work very well since the old tin building is so large, airy, and open.
My wife hates the smell of moth balls but she seldom goes to the shop, so I would be willing to scatter some around if they would help.
