Mr. Bob, the black widow and brown recluse populations are down in Louisiana for some reason but the brown widows are being seen more and more lately. Scary because most people don't know what they are and therefore don't know how dangerous they are. There is a chemical that you can buy at Pest Stop in Baton Rouge and probably other places called (Suspend SC). It is a barrier treatment that you can spray safely around your home (read and apply according to label). It will kill a variety of insects including ants, mosquitoes, and termites. We use it to spray around ball park bleachers in WBR parish to control ants, mosquitoes, flies, and spiders. It will usually last 10 or more days (unless it rains) and it relativly inexpensive as good insect chemicals go. I am not an expert on spiders but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night. If I can be more helpful you can contact me at WBR Mosquito Abatement @ 225-214-5900. Good luck. Wayne .
