But...If the spiders are setting up camp, and you are killing the spiders...what have they been feeding on?
Y'might need those spiders!
Yeesh, on both counts!
This is the time of year they always come inside. You could barracade the cats and set off a insect bomb. Use the giant swatter on the giant arachnids
BOMB THE BASTIDS!!!!! Lock the cats in the front porch and BOB THE BASTIDS!!!! Six or seven spray bombs should do it. one in each room and two in the cellar and one in the crawl space, OK, I guess that is 9 but they are cheap. DO IT!!!!! (but what would write about if you killed tham all???)
