Ok, spring is here and I need to spray my houseboat and slip area for spiders. I'm getting tired of knocking down webs and chasing them around my boat with a shoe.

So, what is the best spray to use to control spiders? Also, I cook on the boat and I have little grandchildren running around, so a powder is out of the question.

Thanks,
texasvet

I will have to get the name of the product I bought last year. I simply put it in the cabin, and can honestly say I never saw a single spider below decks. The rails and outside the boat I had them, but below decks it seemed to work.

Re: Spider Help

i thought boats came pre-equipped with spiders? In all honest spiders DO keep away other things that you might not want in your boat... Spiders won't chew a hole into fabrics, moths will.

Re: Spider Help

Call your local exterminating/pest control company. They use better spray can products than are available to the local retail buyer. They will usually sell these retail for around $10 a can.

I bought one 3 years ago. I spray twice a year and the can still feels full. Very good products.

Re: Spider Help

I dont know if these grow in your parts, but I drop them into coffe cans so they dont. They work well for all types of critters. Better than sprays and the dog will not get sick from licking it.

I've seen them here in Texas on some of the golf courses that I've played through the years. I just don't remember where. Also, we call them horse apples.
