If I spray around the house will it prevent spiders or does it only work with direct contact. I want to prevent them from coming in as well.

You can spray them and it will kill them, but it's not instant. They do suffer quite a bit as they die. It's okay as a repellent but doesn't work nearly as good as it used to. I just now killed 5 spiders in my house and had just sprayed this morning, so they have changed the formula somehow.

Kelley,I buy a dozen cans at a time just so that I can spray around all doors, windows, and cable holes in interior/exterior walls. It knocks flies, bees, mosquitos, and any other insects out of the air instantly and even works against hornets. If you live to be 100 years old, I honestly don't believe you will find a better insect spray than TERRO. Lowe's discontinued it, and I started buying it from Amazon. No I can't find it on Amazon but was able to get it from The Home Depot for about $5.00 per can. Some joker was selling it on Amazon for $1.99 but was charging $6.94 per can for shipping. That's ridiculous, and I hope Amazon will start selling it again for $4.84. I hope this helps.

We actually purchased this product for box elder bugs that invade nearly every year and for them it is very effective. Haven't used it for spiders but we are in spider country and haven't had a problem so maybe Tempo is the reason. Sorry I can't tell you specifically because we haven't used it to attack the spiders.

Sorry. I did not have a spider problem so I do not know. It was wonderful for my problem withgnats. I was infested with them and it took 12 of them in a 1500 ft. apt. but in three weeks they were down to a couple a day. Good luck.

This will work for ANY kind of insect! Any bug that crawls thru it will begin to die. It's not instant like a poison but boy does it work! I keep a little of it in the back of my closets all the time. i put it out months ago and I didnt use much. I still find dead spiders and crickets in my closet every now and then.

It is suppose to kill exoskeletal bugs which a spider is. Although for it to be effective for your spiders you will have to put it in an area that they will crawl through as it needs to get on their legs/body to be effective. I use it in my chicken coop but only in the bedding...works great on the bugs i am targeting...but i still get a few spiders but they are probably coming in through the windows. Good luck.

As far as I know, he hasn't tried that yet. Personally, I believe it would if you are within range. It's worked on every bug he's aimed it at within the proper range. It took me two tries to kill a big spider because I was afraid to get close enough. You have to be within three feet of your target. Good luck!

I don't know about all insects, but yes it repels spiders! Put about a cup of water into a spray bottle and mix about 50 drops of peppermint essential oil in. Spray around windows, doors, wall cracks, attic openings etc. and you will see a huge reduction of spiders!! It's fantastic!

Greg, In general its not a wise choice to spray any kind of concentrate for ants. The reasons are many but the big one is that they can detect most any active. And once they detect it, they'll stay off the treated surface and avoid where its been applied. This will usually force them elsewhere and essentially complicate the situation. And since the ants you see represent less 10% of the local nest, even if you did kill all the ones you see it wouldn't solve the problem. So what do you do? Well for starters, don't spray inside the home. Instead use a bait. Something like Maxforce Ant Gel or Optigard Ant Gel. These options will readily be accepted by any foraging ant and within a few days, be brought back to their nest and once ingested, kill a bunch of the colony. At the same time you should spray the homes exterior with a "non repellent" active such as Phantom, Optigard Flex or Dominion. These actives won't be detectable by the ants and in turn, they'll readily walk over the treatment. This will allow them to "transfer" the active to other members of their colony so when the active finally does "kicks in" and goes to work, it will kill most if not the entire nest. That will usually happen in 3-4 days following the initial application. The good news is any ants surviving this will in turn know to stay away from the old ant trails for fear of something "bad" in the area so even if you don't kill them all, the non repellents will usually take care of the problem by forcing them elsewhere. Give us a call if you need more advice; its kind of hard to explain all of this via a post. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

For me, I felt it doesn't repel anything. I still get spiders and flies in the house. Mice, I don't know since they are nocturnal. They have never been in the house, only outdoors.

I does NOT actively attract spiders. It is just strong glue that traps spiders passing by. I would not recommend.

I placed it in my front walkway in front of my door. It scared the heck out of the Fed X guy, not to mention my friends visiting. We just learned to try and step over it. The product worked for me, it stopped the neighbors cat from spraying on my front door. Good luck!

I think the product works well. Last Spring, most days I saw a couple carpenter ants here and a couple there - outside my house. And in a 1-week period - 3 inside my house (The ones inside my house might have come inside to forage for food because they just woke up from hibernating somewhere outside). I sprinkled about 1/2 bottle around the outside of my house and now I haven't seen any ants - not even the smaller black ones that are usually outside my house. Now that the ants are less of them - or gone, the spiders in the grass have multiplied - More spiders in my house.

We purchased a lovely 1830's home that had a hefty resident population of spiders. Although we understand the contribution spiders make to reduction of the insect and fly population, we do not wish to share indoor quarters. This wonderful product discourages the arachnids from keeping close compamy with us. The fragrance is minty but with adequate ventilation it is actually a welcome ally. We sprinle it along basement walls and in the crawl space, also around perimeter of garage Indoor and out. We are grateful for it's safety to us and pets and especially for its effectiveness. We are fortunate to have found this product and are sure to keep it on hand. We purchased a lovely 1830's home that had a hefty resident population of spiders.

That is an interesting question..thinking back to last year we did notice some dead spiders on our patio days after spraying. Didn't notice an increase in flying bugs.

It definitely works against spiders. I cannot confirm whether or not it works with spier mites, but simply based on their size I'd bet it would. The nice part about getting it in a concentrated form like this is you can mix it to be as potent or as weak as you want. It comes with instructions for how potent you should mix your batch based on your target.
