Daddy Long Leggs Everywhere!!

Does anyone know how to get rid of those long legged spiders? Ever since I've lived here, they come back in the garage when I vacuum them up. I'm always in the garage and the door is always open. I clean up the webs and kill all the ones I can find......then they're back again shortly afterwards. Thanks, Jeff

Re: Daddy Long Leggs Everywhere!!

If you find a pest control co. Buy the stuff they use. I bought a small bottle
that I used for years for ant control it also cut the spiders way back also.
Sorry I don't recall the name.
Just a perimiter spray every 3 months.
Good luck!

If you get rid of their food they leave on their own. I have them all over the place but no other flying bugs or skeetoes so I leave them alone. What they don't get the geckos do.

Re: Daddy Long Leggs Everywhere!!

well they get thrown in under the beds/corners all dark areas,when the park closes for the year everyone throws them around inside,some will stuff them in holes in the walls(power wire in) or floors pipes drain area,not sure if it's the smell or what but seems to sure work
