Hi Eric - pesky full stop attached to link - now removed so the link works.
Bob, I think they are overstating (to sell their repellant?) - yes the spider will bite if threatened but the effect is minimal.
With sprays you have to be careful you don’t kill the non invasive species. The false widow makes a diaphanous thick web around structures as opposed to the trapeze like suspensions of the good guys.
Spraying the webs is more selective…and just as effective at getting them to jump ship.
They drop like stones on a thread and play dead….but they are not!!
I spray under the window sills and it’s like the Libyan embassy assault by the SAS…..abseiling down in groups.(without the stun grenades lol)
