Ginny–call your county Ag Extension agent–they will have specific controls for your problem.

Unfortunately that ‘fly spray’ will no doubt kill many other winged insect species as well–important as pollinators and as bird food for migrating songbirds. Please don’t spray willy nilly. Especially at spider webs–those fall webs are grab-n’-go deli bars for birds passing through on their 1,000 mile migration. I just watched a beautiful Townsend’s Warbler work through the webs around my woodbox–he found many tasty and nutritious insects caught in the webs.

Have you tried this? I’m willing to try just about anything. They aren’t bad here at the Ponderosa, but it’s terrible at the farm this year! ❤️

Mix it up and spray around your doors and windows. That will help kill them.

We get them here in Missouri, too. They started showing up 2 days ago. Greg has got to get out and spray the outside of the house. He plans on doing that come Friday evening when the baby grands leave to head back to Texas. ( that will be a sad day).
