Same. It can get tiresome in CA though! I'll take widows over recluses any day.
On the one occasion where I found an infestation too extensive to relocate (under almost every one of my outdoor chairs), I tried bug spray. Horrible. Thanks to CA's hysterical bans on everything, the spray is ineffective and merely tortures the spiders and often leaves them alive but maimed. I felt terrible. Never again.
- Apocryphon 3y agoWhy resort to bug spray when citrus and other scents will repel them naturally?
- RespectYourself 3y agoIt was too late to repel them. The chairs were rife with brown-widow nests. Anyway, now I just blast these areas with a hose from time to time. Individual spiders I will relocate if they're in an area where people are likely to sit. There's a tiny baby spider roosting in my oven hood right now. The two last evenings he has descended on a web to look around. I considered putting him outside, but it's too cold so I just let him return to his hiding place.
