Answer 1

well they aren't gonna bite you for one but you could get some spray to spray in your room and it should keep them out for the night. you could always try to get one of those nets that keep mosquitos out around your bed.

Answer 2

like jonathan said, get raid "spider and wasp" spray i think it is...and spay a barrier but also, its important to see if your dad can make a sweep of your room every nite before you go to bed and kill all the spiders for you...and try to target the places you have seen them with the spray....i would spray problem areas a whole lot.....be careful and have fun!!!

Answer 3

There  

Answer 4

You should go to Target or Walmart and pick up some raid and spray the bugs the should die in seconds and spray in a barrier, it always works for me.

Answer 5

Perhaps you should learn something about spiders.  They are very useful creatures, and only a very few are dangerous.

Buy mosquito netting and put it up over your bed.  That will keep them off of you while you sleep if you are worried about it.  It should be noted that in our homes there are more than a thousand bugs for each person!

Camping, in a cabin?  The IDEA behind camping is to relax, have fun, and learn something about nature.  Spiders, and all the other 'creepy- crawlies' are a necessary part of nature.

im not reallyy sure.. butt... you could return a favor and answer my question! =) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 7

Did you know that every human eats at least 8 spiders a year without realizing it lol. Maybe try getting some foggers a day or two before you go throw one or two in the attic and one in the basement if it has a basement and one in the room you are going to stay in.  Tell your dad to do this a couple of days before you go up there that away you won't have to worry about any bugs at all.  

Answer 8

The last answer was correct to a point. When we camp we camp. worry about the Bears not the spiders. You can get a screen canopy that will cover your bed area totally. they are available at Boy scout supply stores. I have one for all the family members. we don't worry about spiders as much as Miskito's they do not come with a frame. they are made too tie on to something above. not to much trouble. Bet if your dad sees it he'll want one too.

Answer 9

No, Why are you yelling ?

Answer 10

Bring Garfeild with you.

Answer 11

The only sure way to keep spiders off of you is a full jungle-style bug net to cover your entire bed. Contrary to what you may have heard, these are readily available, cheap, and can easily be thumb tacked to the ceiling over your bed and tucked in from inside for complete and total spider free sleeping. Let them crawl all over the top, or bug bomb the room with Raid, either way they cannot get to you! If you can't find one in a camping store, try a travel store.

Answer 12

The last two answers have it. The mesh in those nets is far too fine for a spider to climb through. You will be safe from the ferocious beasts.

Answer 13

would take a surface spray, the ones that you can spray over the room and if an insect touches that surface it kills them.  I dont know if there is much more you can do.  I dont think you can repel them with citronella or eucalyptus oils or anything like that though.  Good luck

Answer 14

Spiders are hard to kill with spray. I hate them too. I don't think I could sleep in a cabin with a spider (especially a lot of them). Maybe just talk to your dad and see what he says...best of luck. I feel for you!

Answer 15

Heres a killer combo

place sticky pads on all the exits of the house(windows doors)

then take a normal bugspray and spary the house. This will keep away all the spiders prey like flies. This will make wthe spiders wanna leave but wen they go to leave, they will go towards a window because its glass and they can see the outside. But the stik pads will get them.

Last. take any kind of bug killer and DRENCH the spider webs with it.
