Will this work good for Black Widow bites to? We have 6 black widows all over the house.

I would think as long as you get the extractor pump on the bite quickly you could suck the venom out before it gets in the blood stream. I would certainly get to a doctor ASAP even after using the extractor for some anti venom.

I am not sure the type of spider that bit me since I did not see it but we have some black widows that go back and forth between mine and our neighbors fence and I am hoping it works good on those too. It seemed to extract well. We have a dog that received large scars from a spider bite several years ago and after starting the summer out with tons of snakes, I decided to get this and keep it on hand to try on anything that it may help. So I don't know the exact answer but I sure hope it does!

I don't know if it works for spiders I guess you can contact the provider of this product.

Yes it does help with chiggers! Had the little buggers early this spring, applied this twice (I waited a few weeks in between applications), and the chiggers and fire ants are gone. I haven't any idea why they are so bad this year but they were so bad my dogs wouldn't go out! Now I just need something to kill the wierd spiders I have that jump and bite!

I would say "yes". My good friend who has always used it says it works on dust mites and hair lice. It works on any bug with an exoskeleton. I've also used it with cinnamon and peppermint for spiders in the 100+ year old house I live in. This stuff is awesome. Be sure to use on pets and their bedding. Fleas hate it.

Probably not. Those tiny black beast can get past anything. We keep them out of our feeders by spraying the pole (we use shepherd's crooks) with Home Defense pesticide. We've tried every other ant control method: organic, green, environmentally safe, natural, home-remedy, and chemical. Home Defense just works. We even use it in the house, otherwise we're overrun by the little buggers. Just spray the pole and/or hook, let it dry, then hang the feeder. Repeat as often as needed, which should be about every couple of months (yeah, it's that good). A little off topic, perhaps, I am thinking of putting in a bee feeder or dedicating one hummer feeder for bees though, because they're are having such a hard time.)

I use it to scoop up spiders & cobwebs.........When I turn the vac on all the spiders in my home start hiding....This is a real bonus not found in the instruction book !!

I don't know how it would do with venomous snakebite, spiders or scorpions. I too have heard that suction for snakebite can do more harm than good. What I HAVE used it for are bee and wasp stings. I used to be a beekeeper, and hardly a summer goes by I don't get a wasp or yellowjacket sting. My experience is if the device is used immediately after being stung and applied continuously for 2-3 minutes, the pain is dramatically reduced, leaving only a little residual discomfort. I stopped beekeeping because I was getting successively worse reactions from the stings, but the Extractor really helped. I think it's wise to not expect it to do more than this, and get advance knowledge about specific nasties that could potentially do more than just hurt you for a little while if left to run its course.

I can't say whether or not it would be effective towards fleas or not. I can, however, say that it is very effective at killing spiders. My house is an old one, and spiders have been a constant problem in the past. Just a spray of this around the crown molding and in corners, and no more spiders in my house. You will have to reapply about every month, but that's a small price to pay to be spider-free.

I honestly do not know. I bought the pest repeller for my spider problems and it worked for that.

The only thing I bought it for was spiders. I don't have Mosquitos, Roaches or Mice in my house so I can't help you with this. Yes it works for spiders.

I have removed many spiders with past Dust Busters. Above model seems to have even more suction power. Believe it should work on any kind of spiders.

Hi, yes it does kill spiders. We had 2 major bug problems and that was with fleas in the back yard and black widows around our garage. It helped tremendously with both. The trick is to lay down a light layer of the earth along the wall creases and corners if you are putting it on the inside of your house. You only want to do a light layer at first because you want them to walk through it, if it's too much they may avoid the area all together. Then after a week you lay down another light layer just to keep it fresh and to catch any stragglers that may still be out. I only dusted the inside of our house around our windows cause that's where they seemed come in at but we mainly used it outside. We dusted our whole back yard with it and then along the sides of the garage. Keep in mind to only lay it in the dry areas outside because if you lay it in an area that's always moist it won't do any good. But again same process, light layer at first, wait a week and then refresh or refresh anytime after it rains. Keep in mind it does take a few days for the bugs to die and they have to have walked through it in the first place but still it is effective. The fleas dropped pretty well after the first layer and as long as we keep up on refreshing the yard with it they are pretty much kept at bay. The spiders took a little longer but I think it's just because they took longer to walk through it. I hope this helps. :)

It works on Bedbugs which are very hard to get rid off, I would say one of the hardest. Once I sprayed it in a corners of the room and bed and mattress all kinds of bugs showed up dead. I would give it a try.

I found it to be very helpful repelling biting insects. It also relieved the itch of existing bites. Hope it works as well for you.

It's powerful, but not sure they would be killed inside of. No experience with black widows - luckily.

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 formany months afterwards. It does work very well for us.

Yes it works very well for all kinds of critters. It is safe for children and petsl. I used it outside to get rid of spiders since I live in the country, but it can be used inside as well.
