best chemicals to kill spiders with?

Syrin Gas

Never heard of that one. Perhaps you meant sarin (ortho-Isopropylmethyl Phosphonofluoridate).

If you want to tent the area sulfuryl fluoride (aka Vikane) will kill everything. It's a job for a pro and is expensive but you will have a sterile, bug free domicile. Smaller areas can be sealed up and a 10kg block of dry ice can be set inside and allowed to fully sublime. This will displace the breathable oxygen making the space toxic to organisms. This can be done by the end user if simple (common sense!) rules are followed unlike Vikane fumigation.

I think he meant syringer gas.

I mean, other than fire and nuking them from space.

I've mostly ceded the back hall of my apartment over to the spiders and let them be, since I never use the back entrance. I do, however, use the back hall for some long-term storage whose time has finally come :thinking:

I've had an air conditioner back there for a year and a half (last summer was so cold that I never had to take it out). it's been scorching lately, though, so I'm thinking I'm going to have to install it soon. in my mind, this think is now lousy with spiders and I'm going to be attacked as soon as I touch it. any recommendations on chemicals with which to arm myself before I brave the dangers of my back hallway?

You're really limiting our options here! :awe:

:hmm:

so I could get a block of dry ice, seal the back hallway, and just wait a day?

Well the "tighter" the space is the better. Granted you do need leakage in order for the breathable air to be displaced and CO2 to take its place but that's not going to be the issue. (either that or a few LARGE cakes of dry ice)

hm. that could be a good idea... the "hallway" in question is like 5' x 3'

There was this one dude who couldnt figure out how to get rid of them on his own, so he put a mouse in the AC.
Things were fine until a couple years went by and he forgot about it. Sold the AC used to a fella here on Anandtech.

Every A/C unit I've seen always had a squirrel not a mouse. Why do you think they call 'em squirrel cage blowers?

A mouse was mistakenly introduced to increase SEER but failed.

Syringer + Sarin = Syrin

Use 4 cannisters of CN-20

I covered that one already.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Chemical #1: Fire
Chemical #2: Shoe

Yes, but I cut to the chase.

 

[Wyndru]

chemical #1: Fire

i mean, other than fire and nuking them from space.

mmmmmm, fiiirrreeee baaaaaaaddddd!!!!!!!

Testosterone.

Agreed...applied with this:

or this:

BUT, since the OP is a girly-boy he's testosterone challenged...so maybe he needs one of these:

Got that for a friend, now when I am over we always hunt for bugs to electrocute. Just last night we got a good 3 inch centipede.

Have you put your tongue on it yet? :twisted:

The best chemicals need combustion in order to be the best.

Aerosol can (with some sort of alcohol liquid) + lighter = WIN!!

But not always effective.
