I have large decorative rocks in my back yard and there are tons of wolf spiders out there! I’m getting worried that my puppy might attack them and get hurt. How do I get rid of them?

    Hi there, here are some natural ways to help get rid of them. Like everyone else I've always heard that peppermint oil works really well. You will need to reapply it from time to time. Good luck!

    Talstar


    Talstar is a synthetic pesticide that is manufactured in granular and liquid forms. It is safe for use around mammals, reptiles and birds and lasts much longer than a range of other organophosphate-based pesticides such as Acephate, Malathion, Dursban and Diazinon. It is effective in controlling a host of ornamental and turf plants, including chinch bugs, mole crickets, fleas and ants. A 10,000-square-foot area can be protected by a 25-pound bag of Talstar.
