We bought some of those black & decker ultrasonic wave emitters that plug into the outlets. We put about 4 or 5 in the house and havent seen many spiders since.

Just leave the spiders alone. Vacuum the ones you see when you clean, but otherwise don't worry about it. I'd much rather have a few spiders in the house, than live in a toxic waste site that's filled with chemicals that kill by design.

Make sure you suck up one of the moms full of eggs so it can lay a whole hoarde of spiders inside your vacuum should it survive! :evil:

Bomb the house a couple times, it looks like you have an infestation. I don't mind spiders here and there, but that many cobwebs would piss me off too.
