Joro spiders

[MrJim]

These things are everywhere here. Does anyone know of a spray that will kill the things? My wife says sprays don’t work on spiders. Already thought about fire but don’t wanna burn down my woods.

According to UGA, you won't totally get rid of them.

Like it or not, Joro spiders are here to stay

This spray should work https://bugspray.com/joro-spider-spray.html - they will die off in winter but will return.

So far I yank there arse out of the web and step on him - probably not widespread effective but satisfying as hell to feel the crunch.

I use this. Doused they drop dead.

I had some that I couldn't reach. I shot them with wasp spray. Just a little bit. Took out the big ones and the little ones that wanted to mate with them. Any bug spray will get them though.
There are some soybean oil based products at Home Depot that are insta kills. You just have to get close enough to use it.

I use windex with ammonia to kill the bad bugs.

Put a birdfeeder in your yard.

We’ve been using Raid ant/roach spray. It says on the can “household spiders” as well and it seems to work pretty well. The bigger ones take a couple doses but the small ones it knocks em out with good results. They are everywhere though it’s ridiculous

The part in the article referring to out-competing the orb spiders seems to be pretty accurate. I haven’t seen those in quite some time. Not sure what’s happened to them other than just being run off by these guys
