I know that spiders control other insects, but lately I am finding 3 or 4 spiders each morning.  

I suspect that they must have hatched indoors.  

On the otherhand I have not seen many stink bugs lately...

In any event, I would like to reduce the number of spiders in the house.  Any suggestions?

Pyrethroids work well.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

Demon W/P used here for quite sometime on farm.  Nothing better IMO.  It's what the exterminators use in many areas.  Cheap and effective

cypermethrin... Look for that in the ingredient list and you should be good to go. Demon W/P is a popular one down here.
Well, Bye...

Get your mix right on wps. They can coat dark siding with light streaks if applied in too strong a concentration.
