Insect / Spider Perimeter Treatment?

Post by Hammbone81 » June 3rd, 2021, 9:30 am

We seem to have a LOT of spiders. I know they have their place and eat other bugs. Can I do a perimeter treatment around the house and doorways? If so, what product should I use? I see Ortho makes a "Home Defense", but I'm not a fan of the hand pump, I'd rather buy something in concentrate and mix it myself.

If you do a quick search for "perimeter treatment for spiders" plenty come up. Some use oils, some use chemicals. I can't personally recommend any as I've never done it (we get tons of spiders, but they'll come in through any crack, and I really don't mind them and don't get very poisonous ones, so...)
