HELP!! I need to find some Spider Spray.

I have just moved house and now live on a farm. There are so many spiders in there. :eek: I've tried to remove all of them with my dyson, but they just keep coming back. I've heard of a spray you can buy that is like a barrier that they just won't cross. Anyone know where I can get this from, or has anyone used it before?

Thanks!

    I hate spiders - especially Scottish ones! There big mean stiff necked monsters that'd as soon as eat you as they would a fly. I've seen spiders here bigger than small birds! :eek:

    So, I too would be grateful for a spider barrier or killer (never mind the 'all God's Creatures' - I want them dead!). :j

    As for flies and moths.... the moths here are bigger than the spiders. They'd the cruncy ones that don't turn to powder, easily an inch long.

    I'd like one of those blue lamps they have in kitchens - my own personal zap-o-matic! Anyone know where these are available (nice discreet ones, not industrial ones). I have recently found a new type of fly squatter - it's a tennis raquet with electrified strings (battery powered) that apparently electricutes the bugs as you hit them - which could make for a fun beer fuelled game I guess...if you're inclined to :beer:
  • I saw some of the blue light bug zapper things in B&Q yesterday. I think they were about £20 ish. They look like a small lantern and would sit nicely on top of the fridge maybe.

    Many thanks Screeched - Now we just need something similar in the war against arachnids.

    Oh I could have a lot of fun with that fly swatter :D

    Large (Scottish) spider nearly walked over my foot this morning in the office, my scream made it run for its life....

    All of the England dwelling aracnophobes should be thanking me because all of the big English spiders live under my bed!! :eek:

    They only show themselves just before bedtime so I cant sleep!

    I'm not sure I could get close enough to one to get it with tennis racquet shaped thing - maybe a badminton racquet though?? :rotfl:
