2:57 I had a heart attack

I just returned home from the hospital after a 3 day stay from an unknown spider bite. I am thankful for this video since I am a bit paranoid right now! ...I also suggest anyone seeing this, if your bite doesn't improve after a couple days, see a doctor ! I sleep in the basement. I recently indirectly added clutter to help out a friend. I've had spider bites before, but they were minor and left a small scar for a week or two. .This time, I had a scar on my elbow, which I couldn't see. It was sore, but my work schedule was crazy, so I ignored it. 2 days later it swelled 3X in size, I went to my DR. , he gave me oral antibiotics. FFwd 2 days, it swelled even more. When my DR. saw it was worse, he immediately called the hospital. . . SO FYI, if the bite is on a joint, they don't want to cut it open due to tendons, ligaments, etc.... SO... they gave me 3 days of I.V. antibiotics.... Its still swelled and painful. They think an oral antibiotic will clear it up. They gave me a 2 week supply ! My main point is, DONT MESS AROUND IF YOU HAVE A POSSIBLE BITE !!... It's VERY PAINFUL , & I don't know yet, but I assume my visit will be VERY $$EXPENSIVE!!! I'm starting HERE & NOW with your suggestions !!! Thank You Very Much !! Morris Roberts !

There is a lot of false information here. Please call a professional. A good one will come out and tell you the correct way to get rid of spiders. Best way, get ride of their food source, bugs.

I was wondering if it would help to gas the crawl space under my house. Like run a pipe from my truck to under the house n let it run awhile. I need to do some work under there and I don't want to share my space with any other critters

I’m in the same boat. I have a brown recluse problem and I am currently at war with them, but I’m finding myself wanting a pet spider. They really are cool creatures, just not roaming my house in real droves.

Thanks for the great tips! 😊 🌷🌸🦋☘️🌷

We do not make friends wit spiders u tripping

I would like to know what the ratio is from the herbs or citrus you mix with water And how much of an area it can cover

I got a high frequency machine a few years ago. The next morning, there were a couple spiders snuggled up to it.

You’re doing the Lords work 🙏 thank you

Well done post! Thank you for this valuable info. I am alerting my neighbor who needs help with this.

The high frequency gizmo does not work.

This was a very good and helpful video. Just some heads up the high-frequency electric spider repellent or Critter repellent. you should be very careful if you have pets for this will disturb them also.

The spiders in my house are too big to live with. 🕷️🕸️

I’m from the uk and in autumn we have huge spiders in our house (Cardinal spider) at first it freaked me out bc we are used to small ones but this was a challenge but eventually we got used to them

Thank you for sharing your great experience how to kill spiders in the basement I am having the same problem in my own house and now I am going to go with the advice you gave and hope that I get the same result you did the video was excellent I hope I get them all because I got bit by one of them and I had to go to the doctor and they gave me antibiotics so at this moment I am an anti-taking antibiotics to get rid of the infection so you could feel how scared I am of spider’s

I read that spiders do not smell... soooo how do these things work?

I actually love spiders. Very fascinated by them. I like to watch them make a web and occasionally feed them. You know, catch another insect and toss it into the web. Which, apparently, spiders don't eat everything that enters their web. I once tossed a small moth into a spider web, the spider immediately went to where the moth was and did what ever it did to set the moth free. I was both fascinated and disappointed. There are certain house spiders we keep because they kill bugs and other spiders. However, I do not want spiders in my workshop. Thank you for the tips. I'll be implementing some of these in and around my woodworking shop.

I’m going to migrate to Australia next month and I’m already dreading it. I’ve been there before and I’ve seen spiders that can make your spine shiver. Fml I’m actually considering not going even though I’ve spent a lot of money to migrate. At this point I rather lose my money than my peace of mind and sleep.

Everything that I’ve read and watched on getting those 8 legged a-holes away from my family and me all said that they are attracted to light. Attracted because they know that insects are attracted to the light and it makes it easy for them to catch their breakfast lunch and dinner. I forgot about mint. Thanks for reminding me about that. They hate citrus as well so I always keep oranges, tangerines and other citrus fruit around just as an extra precaution. That and they’re tasty lol

Mints, oils, plants, any electronic devices will not keep spiders away. Vacuumes will only have the spiders to crawl back out as they don't die from being vacuumed. In fact, none of the recommendations in the video actually work. To keep spiders away from your house is almost impossible, but there are a couple of things that actually work in a better favor to those who don't want them inside. 1. The lesser ammount of insects you have in your home, the fewer spiders you will see. Spiders are hunters and they go where other insects are. Simple as that. 2. Keep the moisture in your home as low as possible, spiders thrives in humid conditions and they spend the winter inside where it's humid.

Thanks for the brilliant video. I plan on hiring pest control to get rid of all bugs when I mobe into my new home and that includes the garden. I can't stand bugs. Even watching spiders on video I will freak out. Arachnophobia is my biggest nightmare of a film.

Mating in the dark? Damn, these spiders sure have a certain kink

Burn it down, burn down the house.

I live in a basement room. They get in here bad and big ones. Cant keep them out.

I like spiders because they keep wasps and other pests I hate away from my house. Although the daddy long leg spiders keep making a mess in my basement because they keep killing everything like other spiders, billions of centipedes, pill bugs, and flies. Also ever since my parents started saving electricity a lot of spiders don’t come anymore because the lights attract bugs for the spiders to eat.

I'm violating almost everything on your list but I do have peppermint oil and will definitely try these tips. We have a kitten and she's having fun 😺 🕷️ 💀 Thanks

Im dealing with brown recluse spiders. They’re horrible this year.

Great Video. Thank you. I have been "wading through" "spider" videos .... ugh. Yours was "it". :-)

Very good information indeed. Mice are said to be allergic to peppermint, so mint/peppermint oil (search ebay for a 100ml bottle), will be a good investment. Wasps ... They also eat flies (and other insects). Not fond of wasps or hornets, though. Both spiders and mice eat woodlice. woodlice eat mold and rotten wood. If you can get rid of the food-sources, it may be easier to get rid of mice and spiders.
