Indorex for spiders?

Hi, posting for traffic!

Does indorex truly work on getting rid of spiders? I’ve tried peppermint sprays, branded repellent sprays specifically for spiders, but nope still get them, despite people swearing by it!

At £16 a can on amazon it’s pricey but i’m desperate at this point, i’m tired of seeing the fuckers everyday since moving to ground floor (and loads of bushes outside my window 🙄)

Thanks all

Yes it works, it is deadly to everything! I used it when our cat brought in fleas, I inadvertently got some on the back of my hand and the next day my skin had shrivelled up.
Be careful with it!

What a horrific thread! Spiders are good insects - just take them outside in a cup. FGS don't poison them and your home. And definitely don't do it in front of your kids so they learn your bad habits.

@Mojoj,👏fully endorse your comment, why this obsession with wanting to kill every living thing with which you share your home? What a sad world we live in

Indorex works for months. We spray around doors and windows and around the edges of rooms on the floor, every September. For months afterwards everything that comes into contact with it dies. I would not use it when pg or with a baby or toddler around, it’s pretty strong stuff. You need to air the rooms you’ve sprayed for a few hours before using them.

@jugglerofballs Thanks, I’ll hold off and just keep crushing them instead.

Crushing them??? Seriously? That’s just horrible.

Not with my hand, obviously. With a shoe or a heavy book or something. To be quite honest as long as it’s dead I’ll use whatever means necessary.

Conkers definitely work tbf. But yes indorex as well, also the bombs are good. Honestly, who gives a fuck...once they enter my house they are dying. Its their own fault.

Worked great at mine. Turns out I must of had a terrible woodlose problem, didn't even know but months after doing indorex I wake up most mornings to dead louses around my skirting board.

Not seen a spider since

Fortunately some of us DO give a fuck and are happy to share our lives with other living things other than Homo sapiens, the most destructive pest of all.

And, judging by the experiences of some on here, 'Indorex' is another highly noxious chemical which should be removed from production - have people really not learned from the past - suggest you read Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring' for an insight into the long lasting damage caused by insecticides and other pesticides.

Spiders are not insects.

But I agree with taking them outside in a cup.

It does work go for it- I found lots of dead spiders the days after spraying. I’ve had hardly any this spider season. I might re spray tommorow I don’t know how often your meant to do it though does anyone else know?
i don’t care about the comments saying it’s mean either those people don’t have arachnophobia.

*live ones

You only have to spray the house once per year. I usually do it each spring to prevent fleas, but autumn would probably be best if it's spiders you want rid of. It definitely works, for every kind of creepy crawly.
