Hi all I am here today to suggest you buy and use a home DIY pest control 3 or 4 litre comes with a sprayer nozzle etc as a guide.
A home DIY kit is not as strong (dosny last as long in the weather either as Pro sprays but they do make a difference.
The object is to spray all around your house in all those nooks and crannies and help lower the spider and insect population down and keep them in check, to reduce the random problems around your house every 4 months or so.
If you have pets simply spray where they cant get into. Cant hurt to spray around your garage and outdoor garden sheds too eves under house brick weep holes fences wicker furniture cock roaches love that stuff.
I noticed a white tail spider nest in amongst the roses and left them alone while gardening making a mental note to spray the webs and spiders I saw but they got me first.
I never in all my life have I ever had a spider bite but about 3 1/2 weeks ago was hit be a suspected white tail spider bite, Never felt a thing 2 bites but the following time in hospital was a very unpleasant time with very high fevers 39.7degrees ( Girls like really hot guys dont they? lol that was me)
An infected leg that ballooned up double its normal size oozing horrible stuff was my reward. Today now I still have lingering bacterial infection and I am using compression stocking but the infection is deep maybe weeks to finally clear it. Thankfully the pain is subsided so I can think straighter again. I was popping panadols and nurofen like they where lollies but now have forced myself off them.
White tail poision isnt that bad and barely hurts us humans in less than 3 days the redness goes away but snake and spider venon is basically modified saliva some types of which used to start digesting the pray into a pre digested flesh milkshake.
In me the bites x2 introduced a heavy bacterial infection as it was breaking down my leg basically a secondary white tail surprise package.
I have being out of action for several weeks sorry about that.
White tails are the lesser of the spiders as far as poision but there abilitly to attack flesh is dangerous I might have lost a leg if not for modern antibodies.
Hello @Jewelleryrescue
I'm glad you are feeling better, I wish you a speedy recovery. The Richgro 3L Indoor Outdoor Surface Spray should keep the insects away.
