Are you better off trying to kill Spiders in their hiding places in the Night or in the Day?

Question

I today found a very large web outside my back door at the base of the house near the ground. I went out and bought Raid but when I got back it was dark. I decided that I would wait until daylight and go out and spray the area. About an hour after I got home though I killed 2 trying to come in. I'm thinking about going out with a flashlight and spraying the web BUT my fear is this. What if they are not at home at night and my spraying the web actually makes them try to find an alternate way in! When do I stand the best chance of nailing them at "Home''? In the Day or in the Night?

Answer 1

I would say during the day because at night there on the move finding insects to eat and whatever else they do.

Answer 2

Stop killing just for the sake of it.  They serve a purpose, probably more so than most humans on this planet.  LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Answer 3

Always at NIGHT since they come out more often then.

I tried it and I was successful.

Answer 4

You want to take your shoe off, and hide behind the door, when they come around the door smack em with your shoe. You can see them better in the day light. Watch out for the jumping spiders - they are pretty fast.

Answer 5

There is no point in killing. Just ignore them, they do nothing to you. They eat other things that are annoying and sometimes harmful to you. Think before you kill.

Answer 6

Where do you live? I'll come kill them for you!

Answer 7

Dude, where'd you find that photo?

The best thing to use on spiders is Lions Pee.

Get some "carefully" and put it in a spray bottle. You know the rest, day or night, it doesn't matter!

Good Luck, HeHe!  ;-/

Answer 8

Defenetly the day
