Nah, salt is too coarse. I know baby powder can fuck ants up though. Not sure about spiders etc

I've caught four spiders already.
It makes me wonder how many I didn't catch or see.
They look like the same species so I'm sure a nest hatched some time ago.

spraying is about the only thing you can do for spiders and then you cant kill all spiders with poison.

for any other insects just get some diatomacious earth to make a barrier with if you dont want to use poison barriers.

No. Two were on the walls and I put a water bottle over them and they crawled in.
Other two were on the floor and somehow got them to climb up.

I've heard read that before.
not sure if true or not.
not sure if I have eaten one.
If I did, was probably a super tiny baby spider the size of a dot.
and not those larger spiders

Very, very much doubt it's true lol.

Either way a home remedy for this in the UK is to put a conker in the corners of a room but I've never bothered.

Even with my dislike of arachnids I just dealwithit.exe.
Best advice.
