Biggest problem with 8 legged critters is you have to hit them with the poison. I got some of those sonic repellents. They have greatly reduced the ones inside. Outside I let them eat the other critters I don't want in the yard.

Start with gasoline. Once a match is lit they die in seconds.
This is the only way OP.

Lysol actually works on contact.
Lemon Pledge seems good to spray in corners and stuff. Our basement is like a dungeon, so we have the same issues you do. This sounds weird, but I actually like having wolf spiders around. When we sprayed the spiders were gone, but we ended up having those annoying mole crickets chirping. |

Tempo SC Ultra
It's Liquid God Smite. Not cheap, but kills everything, for months. $50 for 8 oz bottle, but that makes many gallons of spray ready.

Permethrin. But it by the quart and mix it extra strong in a garden sprayer and spray around all openings and outside walls. It works as good or better than the stuff the pest folks use and its cheap enough to do 2 or 3 times a year. I live in a log house and carpenter bees are my main problem. This stuff will kill them along with wasps as good as anything my termite guy used.

For applying the Tempo SC Ultra, spray around the outside of your house for about 3 ft in all directions from foundation. Then spray all inside corners and places bugs and spiders like.
It's a super-win because it kills both spiders and the entire spider food chain. It mixes with water for application, as long as you don't have kids licking where it was applied, you won't have problems with humans nearby. --ETA: Permetherin stinks like diesel fuel.

I leaves a very fine powder around that sticks to all insects and kills them. Unsafe for invertebrates, such as worms, but unless you are directly putting into your system, safe for humans, safe for pets. It's the Perfect Pesticide. No odor, no air presence at all. Just keep kids from licking areas where it was applied. Kills on contact, and keeps killing for about a year (they say 3-6 months, but I lay it on thick, and they are very low traffic areas) --ETA: You know it's good stuff if it is banned in NY.

We had a lot of brown recluses. The Tempo SC kicked their ass. I think I did a better job with it than the pros we called in and whatever they used.
I spray it with a three gallon pump up sprayer. Thanks for reminding me I am going to go mix up a batch this afternoon. Haven't sprayed since last fall. |

Demon WP. I know they say you have to spray spiders directly, but I've seen dying spiders a month after I sprayed. Maybe another insect got into it and the spiders were poisoned by the dying insect. We had black widows really bad until I used Demon.

Viper Permethrin. But it by the quart and mix it 2 oz. per gallon in a garden sprayer and spray around all openings and outside walls. It kills anything with more than four legs. DO NOT spray it into the wind and get it in your eyes, even with glasses. The shit will burn, your eyesight gets blurry and your eyes turn bloodshot red. If you get it your eyes, jump into a cold shower with the water on your face. And stay there for about 15 minutes.

I have used the cyper and the demon wp which are basically the same thing. They kill them dead also but they leave a white residue behind. It is really noticable on dark surfaces. I bought a bunch of it before I knew and now I just use it outside. I use the tempo inside.

Bayer Home Pest Control Ready to use spray ("Use anywhere in home, cover food prep surfaces") is 0.05% the same active ingredient as Temp SC Ultra (Beta-Cyflurfin). Tempo SC is odorless, non-staining, and about as safe as you can get if you don't put it on food/food prep surfaces. Pet safe (EXCEPT FISH!!!), etc. I've had no issues with it. It is a "dust contact" poison like Borax or Diatomaceous Earth, but packs a LOT more punch (instant kill on insects, like, under 20 seconds instant), of EVERY variety insect, from spiders to Box Elder Bugs to Wasps to June bugs to Earwigs to Bed Bugs. I sprayed some along the garage door (all 4 edges) last spring and all through the summer there were dead wasps, spiders, and other bugs just inside or outside the door on the ground. That's why I call it "Liquid God Smite". I wouldn't suggest taking a shower in it, but I've gotten it on my skin with no ill effects, rinse off. It dries into a super fine, invisible powder, essentially. The more traffic in an area, the more the layer is removed, so along thresholds and such you may want to re-dose often. Been using it for years and there is no better "bang for buck" no questions asked genocidal insecticide around that has the staying power in addition to instant effect that Tempo SC has. It's like killing with fire, without the side effects. 
--ETA: In rats, the LD50s are 500, 800 (oral), and 600 (skin) mg/kg. That's practically drinking most of an undiluted bottle, just so you have an idea of proportion. |

Wait until you get bit by one; I think you will change your mind. The bad thing with wolf spiders is that they will crawl into bed with you for warmth, then bite you when you move. I'd rather have cellar spiders (the long leg ones). They won't crawl into bed and bite you, and they are effective at getting bugs and nastier spiders for you. |

Yes I am....Either can be used indoors per label. I like Onslaught because it's formulated for longer residual. It has just as good initial "knock down" as Tempo (I also like Temprid for outside work) Onslaught has a broad label and I'm very comfortable using it in interior situations. The stuff (Tempo and Onslaught) is safe when dry for indoor use. You apply it according to directions in either a fine or coarse spray. Hit corners and two foot swaths in the upper corners at the wall/ceiling junctions. Avoid run off, you do not need to apply it heavy. Apply where they crawl. Either one is a winner in my opinion. PM me with any questions. |
