They are wierd looking black ones that jump and big spotted ones the are brown ehhhh help me

Answer 1

The jumping black spiders are creepy, but harmless.  I'm not sure what the other kind is; I've never heard of any spider like that.

My guess would be that you have a hole in the wall or floor somewhere; and that is where they are getting in.

It might serve you well to find it, aside from blocking the spiders it will save you greatly on your energy bill when all the cold air is kept inside in the summer and all the hot air is kept inside in the winter.

Answer 2

Call  a pest control person.  I use Terminex and only have the really tiny ones that eat gnats.  They can spray in your house and 30 minutes later it's safe for kids and pets.

It's about $125 every three months, but since I live in Texas where the roaches are big enough to ride, I find that reasonable.

Answer 3

Well, I suggest that you should face your fear.........I know you'll get into it.If you face it, you could even kill 100 spiders:-)    

Just a friendly suggestion

Answer 4

you probaly have a hole if its cold turn the heat up high to like 85 degrees. then when it gets warm walk around the house inside and out along the walls. You will fell cold air if there are any holes. If its warm out do the oppisite. If that dosent work, i would call an exterminator and plan a fun day out for the kids while he does his job.

Answer 5

You should try moth balls or even what they call "ugly apples" they are a kind of non edible fruit and they attract them pesky bugs and "spiders" when they eat this  they will take it to their colony or whatever, and it will kill them and the colony! I hope that it helps ya or do what the other lady suggested and to do terminex!
