False widow infestation

[SuperHangOn]

It was an odd one a month back but now its got out of hand are there are zillions of the buggers all over the back wall. Any thoughts how to blitz them?

I'm thinking of putting something in the jetwash and blasting outside, would bleach do the job?

Cheers

Cheers, I'm thinking more on an industrial scale though - can I legally buy an insecticide to put in the pressure washer?

Doesn't fly spray kill them? Worth a try...

If ever a thread title warranted pics...

Hairspray certainly messes with their mojo!

I would however look upon this as an opportunity to experiment with various everyday household chemicals and combinations thereof

You don't see much in the daytime, but in the evening it comes alive with them. They're everywhere, crawling around the guttering, soffits, window frames etc. I went around with a Henry and step ladder hovering loads of them last night (neighbours can't think I'm more of a nutter than they already do ). Probably got about 30-50 of them but somehow I doubt I've even dented the population

Jeez... you take that hoover back indoors???

Aghhrr don't say that!


No seriously, the bag was inhumanely destroyed.

Stripped a roof today... little gits everywhere.
They don't appear to like hammers !!
