Spiders

Spiders. Last year I had a couple spider webs going from my pup to the grill. One trip I even woke up with a bad spider bite. Wondering what does everyone do to keep spiders out of thier pup? I do have screens over all the vents. Fridge. Water heater. Furnace

Occupants, pets, and anything you might later want to consume, as well as whatever you may want to consume it on or with. In other words, vacate the pup. And take with you all food, pots/pans/plates/utensils/napkins, etc. Before you resume using the pup, flush the water tank a couple of times.

Bug bombs work by allowing their chemical to seep into all the cracks and crevices. So assume everything has been tainted; wipe down the table, the sink, cutting board, etc.

But if you take those precautions, they're effective and safe. I use one in my sailboat every year to keep spiders and wasps from taking over.

Oh, and don't set off a bug bomb in a collapsed pup; set up the popup first.

My trailer is a few years old and until last Oct. was in Moab, noted for Black widows everywhere, even in my wheel chocks, but never had a spider in my trailer. And after the winter here in ID; noted for the hobo spider, never had any problem with any spiders or bugs.

For spiders you can get a spider elimination kit at this place

Safer than bug bombs, they do they job. We used them in TN to catch brown recluse and black widows and other misc. non-dangerous, nasty little spiders. They worked great...
