Bombing a house is a very short-term answer to a long-term problem. Foggers and fumigation devices and techniques are very ephemeral. These methods will kill spiders, but shortly after these fumigation sources are used the spiders may return because there is no residual action to prevent them from returning. In addition, fogging or fumigating during the wrong part of the spider’s life cycle may have adverse effects, such as reducing competition between spiders. Foggers are effective tools when used correctly, at the correct concentration, and only when conditions are adequate. Read the label carefully and estimate the size of the area to be treated for maximum results.
