Spider Killer Spray 300 ml - Fast-Acting Crawling Insect Control, Home & Office (Pack of 1)

I have been using this for over 5 years now as it has been the most effective spray I have found. Effectiveness - Killing Does kill spiders, but usually you need to spray them directly. It's not instant, so spiders might run off, but if you got them square on, they will die. The larger they are, the longer this might take. If suspended on a web, they will eventually drop to the floor. I can't comment on non-UK spiders / really large ones (>4-5cm with leg span) as I have not come across these yet (not sure I want to get that close for those!). Effectiveness - Prevention I regularly spray around window frames and doorways (and within frames / joints / hinges). This does seem to reduce spiders, but the sprayed area is unlikely to kill them if they walk into the area. It also helps keep spiders away from external cameras / lights. Duration The advert says spray lasts up to 8 months. However, rain really drops the length of effectiveness. You will need to re-apply regularly. Guess drier places will find it easier. Smell / Residue There is definitely a strong smell when the spray is used. I try to have windows open for a while where possible to help fumes clear (as advised by the manufacturer). There is an oily residue from the spray, so be careful where you spray. It can be slippery on floors when it settles, so you may need to clean that up. Overall It does a decent job and gives greater peace of mind. Watch out for residue / smell, and reapply as needed (sooner after rain) and hopefully you'll be happier from a spider perspective.

I purchased this product after an invasion of giant house spiders this year. The pest control officer said that there must have been a nest in the house. They were very large and would appear all over the place, including several crawling over my desk! Not very pleasant. I am hoping this product will do the trick. I will use it again from next August to see if I can stop the annual autumn invasion, but it has never been as bad as it was this year. UPDATE ON THIS PRODUCT: It's now October 11 and I started to use the Spider X spray several weeks ago when the giant beasties started coming into the house. Last year was terrible, absolutely HUGE spiders invading every day. Once I had sprayed liberally, I didn't see any spiders for a couple of days, then started to find them...DEAD. This spray might not keep them out completely, but it does kill the ones who come in. Also, there have been far less of them this year. As well as being a deterrent, it must also have some insecticide for spiders in it. This morning on having a good hoover around, we found six more large dead ones. I am going to buy this product again, as I think it's worth the money. I used to hoover up spiders with the SpiderVac, which is £9.99. But I think that once out in the garden, the crafty little critturs just used to come back into the house! Now I am going to spend the money on the spray instead.

I'm probably more scared of spiders than death which is why I had to buy this. I sleep and do all my work in a small, but cosy, room at the bottom of the garden from my house. The spiders are pretty big down here and are constantly making their way into my room to a point where I'm removing at least 3 big spiders and countless of smaller spiders every night. That's when I thought about buying some sort of repellent to prevent the spiders coming in, and lead me to here. I've read a lot of the reviews on here, good ones and the bad ones, but as the majority of them are good, I considered in buying this. Best choice of my life, this thing works like a charm (And also kills spiders instantly if sprayed at them, so if you don't like killing spiders, try to avoid spraying them directly). I first used this on the outside door frame which immediately drove at least 5 spiders around it to scatter. I've now sprayed the corners of my room, around the window and the inside of the door frame which so far has worked very well. If you are petrified of spiders and can't deal with taking them out constantly every night, then you should definitely buy this product. It's cheap, works very well and keeps you safe. The only downside to this is the smell. It smells a bit like furniture polish, very strong and probably bad for non-ventilated rooms, but other than that it's a great product for removing spiders (Like literally, they run for their lives!). tl;dr Good product, works well but smells bad and not recommended for non-ventilated rooms.

Works really well keeps spiders at bay. Upto now spider stop

This. Stuff. STINKS! And I've used smoke bombs to kill insects before...but this stuff, it's basically petrol with some kind of perfume in it. It's great and seems to do the prescribed job as spiders don't seem to like it much (although I have yet to see it kill anything), but please read on if this concerns you... I'd love to give this a shining review because I, like many others no doubt, read the many positive reviews here and thought it'd be worth it. However, there is one fundamental factor when reading these glowing reviews people wishing to buy this MUST take into account; and that is, where is this being used? Because I feel ill after using it and sleeping in a ventilated room with it for several days. Very ill. I've read many reviews on here which mention the smell of the product; but it's not an issue because they 'simply left that room alone for a few days'. Well I'm sorry, but unless you have a two+ bed house with good doors, this is simply not realistic. I bought this for use in a *bedsit* room; so me and my fiance have to live in the same room for everything in other words. Anyway, she's allergic to this stuff so I did it when she was away. After a few nights' very uncomfortable sleep, she comes back and it still stinks! Needless to say it has caused issues. My throat has closed up and various other things including headaches. We do not have the option of 'sleeping in another room', yet this product makes no mention anywhere of the odour...there are plenty of odourless choices which in retrospect I probably should've forked out extra money (I don't have) to purchase... Anyway yeah, if you live in a small flat or bedsit, DO NOT PURCHASE! You'll be regretting a 10 second spray for a good few days at least... Three stars though because it does what it should; seems to keep them away. Just keeps my fiance away too!

Perfect solution if you wanna get rid of spiders because I absolutely hate this stuff. Spray it around your CCTV cameras or in areas where you don't want spiders. If there are any spiders lurking, they come out straight away upon smelling this. Last for a good fair while and you don't have to spray it on like crazy just a little bit around the area you want to attract spiders from

I won't lie I hate spiders and hate September/October time when they seem to arrive in droves! The last couple of years seem to have been the worst ever, there was one in our bath that was the biggest we'd ever seen, and most nights they'd seem to be on the stairs, the worst possible place as you can't be sure whether they'd run at you or scurry off into one of the bedrooms. They were all huge too. I tried those electronic things which you plug in that are meant to release sound waves that scare spiders away but don't waste your money, they don't work. However this spray does! It is important you use the spray in the right places and use it 2 or 3 times a week in 'peak' spider season. Have heard some say it isn't as effective in garages and porches or on outside security lights but in terms of inside the house itself the difference is amazing, at least for us! It's easy to use, I use it 3 times a week in peak spider season on air vents where, depending on the type you have obviously, they get in more than you'd realise, around all doors, especially the main front and back doors/patio etc, and on skirting boards. Another tip is if you have one of those draft excluder snake type things, spray it on that and shove it against the front and back door once everyone is home for the evening. We have only seen one spider so far and it was fairly small, we have however found 3 or 4 dead ones including a huge one that still looked scary! If you do see a live one then spray this on them and it will eventually either chase them out or kill them. I love animals but hate spiders and am hearing more and more stories of people being bitten by them including a man not that far away from me who was hospitalised and put on a drip.. shudder. If used correctly this really does make a difference, beware though the smell when you spray is quite strong at first but soon fades. We have cats but none have been affected by this either. Pricey but the only product I've found to work.
