I would spray around the outside of the house. In the past we have gotten these little centipede things that were about an inch long and the neighbor said that seven dust worked great, it did. We try to spray around the outside of the house about 1 a month now for ants or spiders or just whatever. We haven't gotten anything inside since. We use a spray so when it dries it shouldn't bother the dogs, it hasn't so far, and we just spray about a 4-6 inch strip around the entire foundation of the house.

Thanks, I'll check to see if I can get a spray for the outside. They're not numerous or anything like that and I usually only see them of a morning. Like I said maybe one or two a day. I'll try to take a picture and post it.

We have Terminix come out once a month to spray because I'm deathly afraid of critters. Our exterminator told us that the solution would not hurt our furbabies. We just have to wait 30 minutes after he sprays to let them on the floor again. He sprays mainly outside around the foundation of the house. If you got someone to do that, that would not hurt the furbabies since it is outside.

We too have Terminex come out once a month. Some contract thingy we've got with them or whatever. Anyway, our guy uses something that is completely safe for pets (fur kids). I've never kept the dogs away inside while he's sprayed and I've never had any issues at all. I don't know the name of it though, ugh. He also sprays outside. We STILL though get a few spiders inside, but there's just no way of keeping every creepy crawly thing away.

I know I read on another forum that ants don't like mint. Perhaps that would work on your little critters, too.
Make a really strong mint tea and spray it in the areas that you have problems. No harm to the furkids and it smells good, too! Couldn't hurt to try it. PS I also have a contractor (Western) come out and spray because our lot is wooded and we get spiders! ![]() |

So far I think my best bet is to call Terminex and see what they have to say. Since the last few days have been warmer, I haven't see any, but the cooler temps are suppose to be back today.
