Is this safe to spray on vinyl siding? Wolf spiders are taking over every corner.

I have not personally sprayed this product on my outside vinyl siding. I have sprayed the entire interior of my home along the baseboards and against some wood paneling without a trace of stain or visible residue. If I were you, I would "test spray" a small area to see if there is any visible difference. As for the potency of this spray I have had 100% kill rate for all of the crawling insects; and I have used this product for at least 5 years. I hope that this helps you. Email the manufacturer and ask them the same question. Good Luck.

Yes I have sprayed this on just about everything and it has not stained anything so far. Deadly on all spiders.

Yes. Just try to avoid the horizontal ridges. If you stay close to the center of each "lap" you should be fine. The standoff works better on vinyl (and any other type of siding) than a standard ladder in protecting the siding surface.

I do not know about steel siding . There are allot of variables. If it was painted or powder coated I think it would be safe

I did my basement. Recommend using face mask, tarps, and have the windows open with fans going. Lots of fine spray and it gets everywhere and on everything.

No, we left ours on also, we were careful though. Our shutters were vinyl so I did not think it would bother the vinyl siding, except maybe make it look better!

I would spray the wood and baseboards because the wood is porous and there are lots of little crevices. It may be overkill, but better to be safe than sorry. I also used the siphotrol fogger which gets into all nooks and crannies.

The product is intended for wood that will not be subjected to repeated wettings. It is for framing and anything else under the WRB. Therefore I would not recommend it for siding application.

I do not know. It is very effective on spiders and lady bugs. I would be careful about human contact with this chemical

Don't know because we used both cans after we poserwashed in the area where spiders have their parties and babies. No spiders came back so it must have something gross to spiders. Stuff works.

Honestly I don't know. We haven't gotten any so I'm assuming maybe yes. The only thing is we get the outside of the house sprayed twice a year too so it kinda affects what I answer. I mean we haven't gotten any spiders or anything in here since we got them. Sorry that does help much :/

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 !!

I have a terrible fear of spiders and they were everywhere on my enclosed breezeway that is ground level. I read that this product does not kill spiders, but still got it because my son used it and it worked for him. I sprayed it around my enclosed breezeway where I also had a lot of ants and was shocked at the results. No spiders for the first time in years and also no ants. Had to spray more than once and the product does leave a bit of a sticky residue which washes away with the rain. I don't know if getting rid of the ants(which do react to the product) and other odd insects was the reason but I am spider free now. Amazed and very happy.

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.

Yes it will kill stink bugs by the boat load. Not a contact spray killer, but a long term answer, that has no odor. Mix with water 1tsp per gallon and spray around windows and doors. Mist the area, siding near the doors and around lights etc. Dries without making a streak on siding. Also open doors and spray thresholds and door cracks on entrance doors. Open windows and mist a light spray around the inside. Good for about 4 weeks. It takes a few days to get control but they will be dead everywhere in short order. My deck was covered with 100's of them after the 2nd day.

Yes it will still be effective. This stuff is great. It does NOT kill them like Raid. The bugs crawl or fly away after they land on it. On one of my houses I noticed that spiders actually spun webs and then died. The people who make it are super cool. Just call if you have questions.

I honestly don't know; but this stuff has killed everything that has come in contact with it so far. We have scorpians and regular bugs you find around a lot of trees (we're in the mountains) and nothing has escaped alive so far. It worked all last summer, fall and winter, without a second spraying. We are about to spray again for this year after the rainy season calms down. I know I can't give you a straight answer but it's worked on everything I had coming up to and into the house so far. Good luck!
