My name is Greg, I have a small business that is opperated from my
home. We live outside of town and have several acres and a couple
of horses. I built my horses a rough cut cedar fence and stables.
I believe that the cedar, when brought to our home for installation was
infested with both the powder post beetle and the brown recluse spider.
The spiders have moved into the house, and since I am an insulin
dependent diabetic, I am concerned. Not to mention that the only
thing that I fear is things with 8 legs. Is there any help?
Response:
Dear Greg, The best control for spiders is to vacuum them up and/or
trap them with glue traps. Powder Post beetles can be safely and
permanently controlled with borax and/or sodium borate. Both controls
are fully explained in my cd-rom called THE
BEST CONTROL. Steve
