Has anyone tried using this on cedar decking? Does it damage the wood? I want to use it to get rid of spiders in/around our boathouse. Thank you!

I bought this for use around my boat because of the continual spider and web problem, and it works well. However, I do not have a cedar dock or decking to tell you whether it hurts the wood. The can produces a fairly fine spray, so it is not likely you would be soaking the wood to any degree. But most importantly, if there is a Home Depot near you, it is less than $5 there. I made the mistake of buying it here and paying $14.

I have used it around my hot tub cedar decking without discoloring the wood.

I don't know, but I used it on an old, lace tablecloth that I could not get a stain out of. It removed the stain completely with absolutely no damage to the lace, nor was there any discoloration. Spray it in an inconspicuous place and see what happens. Honestly, if it didn't damage a fifty-year-old table cloth, I find it hard to believe it would hurt wood.

Yes it works very well for all kinds of critters. It is safe for children and petsl. I used it outside to get rid of spiders since I live in the country, but it can be used inside as well.

The only thing I bought it for was spiders. I don't have Mosquitos, Roaches or Mice in my house so I can't help you with this. Yes it works for spiders.

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon. Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub. I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there. Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects. Next time I will do more research before I answer. Good luck Walt

It runs silently. You won't be annoyed with any unwanted noise. I have read in the reviews that there has been some good results with rodents. I tried it for household bugs with no positive results at all. I've had no experience with spiders. Had the best results with Bug Stop, purchased at the local Walmart. Good luck.

its not used on decks. its normally used on the end of logs to prevent cracking from drying too fast. As a wood turner I use it on green wood that I have turned part way then painted with anchor seal ( to prevent cracking from drying too fast) and stored for 3 to 6 months before I finish turning.

I'm using it to remove black spots from an oak table. Spots made by water. Haven't used it yet so I don't know how much it smells/toxicity

No, It didn't even work for the spiders in my garage. A waste of money. The only way I could get rid of mice was with baited traps. Use peanut butter or cheese.

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.

Jeff: I used mine on a concrete driveway and walk. It did a great job and was easy to use. My pressure washer was about the same size as yours.I do not know how it would do on wood. It is pretty powerful and could damage your wood. Sorry I cannot be more helpful and positive. I love mine and would suggest you get it and try it in a corner of your deck. If it works then use it. If it does not, then scrub your concrete driveway or sell it to someone that can use it. You will be way ahead if it works and not out much if it doesn't and you sell it.Good luck,Bill Jeff: I used mine on a concrete driveway and walk. It did a great job and was easy to use.

I don't really know the answer to that question. I use it to spray around the exterior of my home to kill spiders in order to eliminate spider webs. It does a great job of controlling spiders.

No idea i know it wirks well around the house for insects by leaving an invisible layers, so that when self cleani.g insects such as roaches it affects tbere nervous system. I believe if you put it on the meat it may kill them if they land on it if they are slf cleaning. I knlw spiders are a little tricky because they do not clean thwmselves,but from what i understand it kills the beacuse of the trace amounts of insecticide left on other insects they eat so maybe. I would contact a local college science deprtment or the manufacture or just try it. If it doesnt work on the wasps you will have a vreat insecticide for around the house.

Will for sure catch mice...olive oil does work great to remove stick residue from anything...my cat found one & I used oil to remove it from her tail. I have used them for years & have found if I place them against the baseboard near a nite light they work even better! Hobo's are rather blind & they are attracted by the light. I have caught millions!! of spiders !!

I am not sure about spiders although I have heard it's a natural repellant. I got it to help keep rats out of my outdoor rabbit cage and it works well. I didn't spray it, I put it on cotton pads and put them around the perimeter . Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!

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.

It works great with stink bugs. That is why we got it. We keep one upstairs, downstairs & at work. Works great with spiders too. My son said it "makes catching bugs a sport".
