Bug Bombs - Model Railroader Magazine
Here in West TN the wretched brown recluse spider is the menace. They wouldn't be so bad if they didn't actualy bite and rot your flesh. They get into EVERYTHING. If it is dark and out of the weather they'll take up residence.
The brown recluse is hard to kill with most consumer grade bug killers. I found an Ortho product that stated it would kill them and gave it a try. Sprayed on every other bug, they died within seconds, or at least started their neurological jitter episode, not so the brown recluse. As a test I put three of them in a jar with a screen lid. I sprayed them with the product and those suckers lived for almost a week. I'm not so sure they didn't just die of hunger or dehydration.
All that to say, has anyone found something that will kill the brown recluse?
