...Or walking heads. Question is, how do you keep them out of your house? I had a spider with a ping pong ball sized butt in my house today....ewwww! Anyone try "spiderballs"??? I saw them in the produce aisle today but didn't get one. Do they work? Or anyone try those "sonic" plug in pest removers? Do they work? Any hints, tricks for "do it yourself" spider be-gone? I dont want to use harmfull or toxic sprays because I have a 2 year old.

Just sweep out all of the corners, and nooks&crannies with a broom. It's that easy...

Im looking for a way to keep them from coming in my house....I know what to do with them when I see them. I step on them, suck them up with the vaccumm, or hit them with whatever is close. The thing is I hardly ever see any webs, but on average (lately since fall is coming)ZI see about 2 spiders a DAY

you know on average, you swallow 5 spiders in your lifetime,

i usually just leave mine alone...helps with the fly problem...lol i'm a bit more concerned about the 5 1/2 foot bullsnake i found in my flowerbed last year, i only found it because it was devouring a baby bunny and it was screaming so loud i could hear it all the way into the house...
