What do they appear to be feeding on?; 2.) How are the spiders and prey getting inside? Most insecticides fail because the spiders do not actually come in contact with them. Fogging can be very effective, but fogging can be highly deleterious to objects and artifacts within the museum. The answer to the problem is to reduce or eliminate access for both spiders and prey by tightening the building up as much as possible. Forrest E.

A significant number of brown recluse spiders were caught, seventy in a two month period of time. Fishing for suggestions on other ways to control them besides sticky traps. I gather insecticides are largely ineffective. -- John Timothy Ataloa Lodge Museum ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To send an email to the list, send your msg to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list send an email to [email protected] and in the subject put: "unsubscribe" - no quotes please.
