Does this work on spiders?

I do not believe this product would work on spiders. It is specified for the deterrence of snails and slugs which crawl against the ground and, therefore, in direct contact with the material spread there to destroy these plant eaters. Spiders with their long, spreading, spindly, arching legs are likely able to just "step" over the raspy material with no affect.

Since this works by drying out the exoskeleton of insects causing them to die, I'm not sure that it would work on spiders.

No not really. They still came around where I had it put down. The sticky traps work the best. Doesnt repel them, which is what I'd prefer....But at least somethings killing them

I have not used it on stink bugs but it is very effective on ants and spiders.

I've repelled spiders and other insects. Haven't had the need to repel rodents. I believe in the product reviews I saw quite a few people saying it definitely worked for rodents. I would read through some of the reviews if you haven't yet. :)

All I can say is I haven't seen a bug of any kind sense using this. It's the best thing I have used for spiders, and it has no odor. Now it will take a few days for it to work the best

Don't know. Haven't tried it. Did think about it, but the only good spider is a dead spider. It might though, because spiders don't really weigh anything.

I originally got these for mice, but haven't noticed any spiders since I started using them. So they do help with spiders as well.

Only used it on sugar ants, and it was pretty effective. Why kill the spiders; they eat everything else. Of course black widows and brown recluse spiders are in a different category.

Not exactly sure because I was specifically using it for mice but I did notice a decrease in spiders.

This does not work, especially for insects and spiders. Indoor spiders can be removed with a vacuum. outdoor spiders are good bird food and should be ignored.

I doubt it because I have geckos and they are not repelled. It works great on things like spiders etc. that nest around the eaves and exterior ceilings of your house.

Hi, yes it does kill spiders. We had 2 major bug problems and that was with fleas in the back yard and black widows around our garage. It helped tremendously with both. The trick is to lay down a light layer of the earth along the wall creases and corners if you are putting it on the inside of your house. You only want to do a light layer at first because you want them to walk through it, if it's too much they may avoid the area all together. Then after a week you lay down another light layer just to keep it fresh and to catch any stragglers that may still be out. I only dusted the inside of our house around our windows cause that's where they seemed come in at but we mainly used it outside. We dusted our whole back yard with it and then along the sides of the garage. Keep in mind to only lay it in the dry areas outside because if you lay it in an area that's always moist it won't do any good. But again same process, light layer at first, wait a week and then refresh or refresh anytime after it rains. Keep in mind it does take a few days for the bugs to die and they have to have walked through it in the first place but still it is effective. The fleas dropped pretty well after the first layer and as long as we keep up on refreshing the yard with it they are pretty much kept at bay. The spiders took a little longer but I think it's just because they took longer to walk through it. I hope this helps. :)

I do not know, I bought it for my daughter for use against mosquitoes in the baby's crib. I don't think it would help with spiders. My grandmother used to put a bowl of water around anything to keep ants out. Good luck. most spiders are not dangerous and enjoydank, dark places and eat other insects.

Sorry it took so long to answer back. I've used only on carpenter ant and wasps!! It works great on those two.

I don't know about all insects, but yes it repels spiders! Put about a cup of water into a spray bottle and mix about 50 drops of peppermint essential oil in. Spray around windows, doors, wall cracks, attic openings etc. and you will see a huge reduction of spiders!! It's fantastic!

Yes: It does work on Spider Mites. A mixture of liquid detergent and water is also effective.

It does not work - period. I have ALL of them in my room for spiders and not a day goes by when I don't see a few. Don't waste our money.

I do not know, because I have not seen or killed a wolf and brown recluse spider. I have just killed hobo spiders and others insects, but it does not kill on contact you have to wait a few minutes.
