We always end up with various spiders in our house, and in many bug induced panics, I've found that almost anything can kill them. Hair spray can work very well, it makes their legs stick to one another or to their bodies.
Every summer we have a continued battle with wasps. We've already had 6
of these things get inside already this year. I'm allergic to bees and wasps, so they really freak me out. If Eric is home, he'll just give it one quick spray and watch it crawl around until it falls over (usually about 3 minutes). Me, I spray it until it stops moving and then some!
Okay, this thread has really made my skin feel all creepy crawly, so I think I'm going to take a two hour shower now.
