They’re the same price at Walmart, so it pretty much always makes sense to go with the spider-spray.
The flies don’t die ‘on-contact’ like they do with the fly-specific spray, but they do die after a brief period of delirium.
Why do you want to kill spiders? They’re like natural fly-spray.
Are you crazy! I mean if you live somewhere were dangerous spiders I could see it but spiders mostly stay out of the way and kill insects. I totally don’t want to kill them.
As a representative from the spider community, I’m very disappointed in your callous treatment of our very well intentioned community.
I don’t want to kill the spiders, though! They like to eat the yucky bugs. They freak me out, but luckily they don’t really want to be around me so it’s chill.
I live in an area with tons of black widows. I’ll gladly kill them, cause they’d just as soon kill me back.
I buy this stuff (foaming glass cleaner spray). It’ll clean my windows, stainless steel fixtures, screens, and kill just about every bug I spray it on (or at least knock them down/incapacitate them so I can go in for the kill squish). Only weakness is its limited spray range (though I did kill a yellow-jacket queen with it yesterday when I was outside cleaning the windows).
Are you a Greek uncle by any chance?
Killing flies eventually kills spiders by starvation.
I don’t kill spiders. I generally just let them be unless they’re on me without me knowing it, because then when I notice it all bets are off no matter what kind of bug it is.
I have a reusable non-spray solution called a fly swatter. It kills flies, wasps, and spiders. It never runs out and has no odor.
At least where I live, it doesn’t make sense to kill spiders at all. There literally is not a single local spider species that you might encounter at home that’s even somewhat dangerous (AFAIK even in the wild there’s only one, and even that one usually won’t kill you). If there’s something that’s too gross for you, just pick it up with a glass and throw it out of the window (which is much easier with spiders than with flies). Spiders do kill flies and other critters that are annoying or even dangerous, so you definitely want the poison that kills flies but not spiders.
