Thought I read/saw in your column "that Borax rids spiders & insects around your house". I did read it but now I can't find where it was. Please reply.

    .Wherever you have problem areas, sprinkle the area with a little bit of borax. The borax will repel the spiders from the area; if they come into direct contact with it, it will kill them.- good luck!

    Look for something called Diatomaceous Earth at any home improvement or feed store. It is fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms that turns into silica. It is non toxic, safe to be around animals and great for getting rid of insects like roaches, spiders, fleas, ect.

    There are over 40,000 known species of spiders. Some are venomous and some aren’t, so if you spot a spider at your home or any other place you better stay away from it. Spiders rarely bite humans however there are worst case scenarios where they do. For example, in your innocence or fun you might try to catch them and make them angry which may result in spider bite. If that happens, you might not be keeping a spider repellent with you all the time, right? Always keep a spider repellent with you, or contact us if you’re wondering how to get rid of spiders. http://starpestcontrol.ca/pest_control_service/spider/
