Question: Our basement has no windows. Our granddaughter who will be living with us wants to have her bedroom in the basement, but we have spiders.  If you come to spray for them will the chemicals be harmful to hear?

ANSWER

Pesticides designed for household insects are low concentration, usually less than 1%. The insecticides are formulated to be effective against spiders and small insects but are of no danger to humans or pets.

Spiders are not easily controlled inside the house. There are certain times of the year when these animals are more active and abundant than other times, and these times are usually the spring and fall. They are most often seen at these times because the males are moving around in search of females, or the webs become abundant near lights. Spiders are, also, predators of insects. The most effective control method is to limit their primary food supply.
