  1. Yes,eventually. Your more likely to harm yourself with excessive spraying and returning too soon only to inhale the poisons. Spiders in America are fairly harmless bug collectors. Its' when you crawl into a tight dark space that the really nasty ones emerge,Black widows,etc.


  2. That spider is down there still.

    Angry.

    Very angry.

    The chemicals coursing through its system, changing its biochemistry into a mutant jumping spider that will be 4 ft wide with fangs dripping green, glowing poison.

    Of course, I could be wrong - just a thought.  

    If the pilot light was going to ignite the spray it would have done it on the spot, so your spider's revenge is going to have to wait awhile.

  3. just don't light any matches or candles

  4. I doubt a electric water heater will cause any explosion, but you might want to get some fresh air after inhaling all those fumes.

    If you want to really do a good job ridding your basement of unwanted arachnid, use the spray bombs. You simply cover anything that could be damaged as a result of being in contact with spraying, like oil paintings and set the bug bomb off and leave. After a couple hours you can return and get some fresh air down there again.

  5. Yes, but you'll go out with a bang

  6. If it hasn't already gone up, then you are probably OK.  

    Spraying near a gas heater can create a slight risk -- you still shouldn't because it isn't worth even the small risk -- but the vapors should dissipate to the point that there is no real danger fairly quickly.
