Is it spider season?
How do you control spiders from coming into your home? Is there anything I can buy that can keep them away without having to call Terminix of another company like that? I have been noticing more and more around.
TIA for any suggestions 
Re: Is it spider season?
We have mutant spiders where I live, so we call pest control.
I had a wolf spider waiting in my bed for me once. It got whacked with Clorox bleach spray. Good in a pinch. And it makes things smell extra clean.
Spiders have been bad at our house too! My big strong manly husband is DEATHLY afraid of them, so I get the "removal" duty.
Today, while he was mowing the law, DH came running into the kitchen screaming some choice words. Apparently he saw a huge snake in our backyard- it was about 2.5-3 feet long and an inch and a half in diameter!!! We live in the suburbs for heavens sake- we aren't supposed to have snakes like this! Needless to say- he's given up mowing the law barefoot!
We use an Ortho barrier treatment once a year that does a great job. We only spray it outside the house, although you may be able to use it inside too. This year I waited a little later in the spring hoping that the spiders wouldn't get bad, but the past few weeks I've found a few too many, so my husband sprayed it around the house again this past weekend.
