I have almost 1900 sq ft. Thursday I am bombing inside for 2496 sq ft. Underneath with 3 larger bombs and one in each shed and thinking of putting two in the big one just in case. I have used horse spray on spiders and they sure move out in a hurry. Also bee killer, the type that sprays 25 ft. Good for cleaning out an area you need to occupy or clean.Outdoors of course. I have read in this area that I should also get granules...thanks for that info. I dont do spiders.....may need to retrain the dogs to kill bugs....lol

Necrotizing toxin. Flesh around the area of the wound dies. If left untreated it will continue to necrotize the limb.

Got a crawlspace anywhere?
Throw a couple fogger cans in there as well.
Just be sure ot wash all your dishes and such afterwards or you'll toxify yourself afterwards when you have dinner.

Learn how to live with them. If you have them, you can not get rid of them. Exterminators have limited results.
They were new to the US in the 50s as they came in from the southwest..I am sure it must be Bush;s fault, haha
Just like Armadillos, they move further east and north every year.
I had them by the hundreds in my dwellings in rural west Tennessee.
It was very common to pick up an old magazine in a cardboard box, only to see one dash away. They do not reside in the light, and when exposed, they move very fast.
You will not see them in webs, but they do resemble the common web weaver spiders that are common in wall/celling corners.
I had only one friend that had a bite. She apparently got it from an old pair of work gloves under the sink.
I don't know about now, but the treatment then was massive doses of cortisone.
