It sure does! Any insect. My adult kids actually tried zapping themselves, and it zapped alright!

If the spiders fly, it works great. Otherwise you may need to get the racket very close to the ground and ask the spider to jump a little. I use it for flies and bees with much delight, but for spiders, I suggest a tissue and an ounce of courage.

No good on spiders. This is better to get flying insects. I use a hand held dirt devil vacuum to get spiders. Good luck.

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

It works great with stink bugs. That is why we got it. We keep one upstairs, downstairs & at work. Works great with spiders too. My son said it "makes catching bugs a sport".

I'm def. sure it will kill them.... I had an infestation of Scorpions, and It wiped them out completely. Plus, no spiders or webs even outside for more than a month. This is by far the best stuff I have ever used. I have been treating my own homes for 30 years and tried a lot of different chemicals......

I live in the jungles of central america and we have the Brazilian wandering spider, the deadliest in the world. I have not used it on those, but the next one that gets in, I will. I bought this specifically for clowns and so far it keeps them away.

I don't know if it kills spiders, but after using this around the foundation of our house, we have no spiders or essentially no other bugs in the house for many months afterwards. It does work very well for us.

Yes this does work on brown recluse spiders. I am in Florida and a friend down the way got bit by one and had to go to the hospital. I saw a couple in our house but since I have used this product I have not seen one.

If you're terrified of spiders and there's no one around to save you or the spider, this is the best catcher to not get near them and release them outside...but unless both you and the spider cooperate (in other words it's not 100% everytime) If you try to catch a huge daddy long legs, chances are your going to squish some of it's legs and if the spider runs just as your about to grab it, you also may injure it. The only thing I would think is 100% is getting close and careful enough to cup something in your hands. And I've tried it with other bugs and it doesn't always work because they don't 'catch' with the bristles.

I am in Southern California and recluse would be rare. The wolf spider I am not sure about. Best to cal them for those specifics. But it does create a barrier and it does kill the ugly mean looking spiders. The bigger the spider it may paralyze them and they may stumble around but they will die. I have a dog, cat and hummingbirds and hasn't affected them.

I do not believe this product would work on spiders. It is specified for the deterrence of snails and slugs which crawl against the ground and, therefore, in direct contact with the material spread there to destroy these plant eaters. Spiders with their long, spreading, spindly, arching legs are likely able to just "step" over the raspy material with no affect.

It has to be ingested to work, since spiders are a predator I doubt it would have any effect on them. Ants maybe, but I think a spray would be more effective

It doesn't work. I purchased 3 & it did repel the spiders but not the mouse. I ended up buying a glue trap to get rid of it.

Its not bad, but i wear a mask and leave the house for the rest of the day just because i believe its best.....i will say one thing...it works on reculse spiders....so very im happy with the product

It kills them when you first spray. I am not sure about repelling them, for several months I do not have spiders or their webs in windows where I have sprayed and do not see any dead spiders, so maybe it is repelling them.

Depends...I purchased a pack of four and one of the two that I took out of the package doesn't flash the red light indicating that it is working. The other one that I placed in my kitchen is flashing, but, I don't believe it eliminated our mice issue (the poison did), nor did it eliminate spiders.

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon. Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub. I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there. Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects. Next time I will do more research before I answer. Good luck Walt

NOT AT ALL.. that was my purpose to buy this because i just hate spiders.. i had put it in my tool shed almost 4 months back and you can see spiders are all over this device... like they are making fun of this device...I wish i could send you the picture.. I read other people's review but still wanted to give it a try because the ad seems so convincing......Don't waste your money !!
