Also with the spiders.. make sure you spray outside of the house, that will stop many from even coming in.
We get spiders pretty bad here too. We actually just had a problem with brown recluses (not a good thing). Usually we get a lot of wolf spiders and regular ol house spiders. Just last night we opened up our front door to let the cat in and found this across our entire entryway... with him right in the middle... (sorry the flash kind of lit him up). The web spanned across the whole doorway. We would've walked right into it....I would've died. I have never seen a web that huge.
Yes, I agree with La. I personally don't like glue traps. They are great at catching them, but I don't care for how they work. (more torture for the mouse)
