Border Control:
How to Keep Spiders,
Ants and other Insects Out of Your House
as Falling Temperatures
Drive them Indoors
Lititz,
PA—Oct. 17, 2012—Fall is the time of year when cooler temperatures start
driving spiders, cockroaches, ants and other insects indoors. This year, stop
these pesky fall invaders in their tracks with a few simple tips from TERRO®, the industry leader in
DIY pest control products.
“The
best way to keep spiders, ants and other pests from migrating indoors is to set
up a border control around the perimeter of your home,” says Stew Clark,
Director of Research at TERRO. “Treating the foundation around your house
with a couple of easy-to-use products that kill on contact and deliver
long-lasting residual repellency will keep unwanted insects from invading your
home this fall.”
Establish
Point-of-Entry Barriers
As ants, cockroaches,
fleas and other insects scurry to seek shelter from the cold, Clark recommends
blocking points-of-entry around your house with TERRO® Outdoor Ant Killer with Multi-Purpose
Insect Control.
“These powerful outdoor ant killer granules not only knock out ants and other
pests on contact, they provide long-lasting residual control to stop future
home invasions.”
The TERRO Outdoor Ant
Killer granules are packaged in a convenient, re-sealable Shaker Bag for easy
distribution around a home’s perimeter. To apply, just open the top, grab
the handle at the bottom of the bag, and start spreading the granules by gently
shaking the bag. No chemical spreader or broadcaster is needed.
Keep
Out Creepy Crawlers
Keeping
spiders - including the deadly brown recluse, black widow and hobo spiders –
from moving indoors as the temperatures drop is a top priority for many
homeowners. Treating the outdoor places where spiders like to hide
with TERRO
Spider Killer provides the protection needed to keep them from sneaking in.
Convenient
and easy-to-use, TERRO Spider Killer is also highly effective against ants, cockroaches, scorpions, ticks, silverfish, Asian lady
beetles and bedbugs.
“What’s
great about TERRO Spider Killer is that it kills pests instantly, immediately
easing the stress of a dreaded creepy crawler entering the home. It also
provides long-term protection up to 12 weeks, which is reassuring to
homeowners,” says Clark. The product is safe to use both indoors and
outdoors.
“Spiders
and scorpions are often found in woodpiles, heaps of dead leaves or anywhere
debris builds up,” concludes Clark. “In addition to spraying these areas,
removing debris around your home will lessen the possibility of any unwanted
guests coming in.”

The 411 by Maria:
I am not afraid of many things but I am afraid of spiders. No matter how big they are, I actually cringe. In fact, writing about them right now is giving me the creeps and makes me feel like one is crawling on me.
The spider spray was exciting to receive but even the can gives me the creeps. The picture of the spider is just too big and I get the hebe jebes whenever I pick it up but I am thrilled to spray it. Listen, don't get me wrong, I know that spiders are good for us and take care of a lot of the other annoying bugs and as long as they stay out of my house, they are fine. However, keeping them out of my house is a priority of mine. I have been bitten and do not do well with spider bites. I will do anything to keep them out and spraying this spray liberally around my house has become one of my favorite things to do.
If you are like me, you will undoubtedly want this at the ready for when you spot an eight legger!

ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of spiders! YUCK! I had one fall on my face while I was falling asleep one time. Creeped me out to no end. It was white. I have no idea what kind of spider it was. Never have I seen a white spider before.
