I’ll take the Orkin man over a spider, thank you. One spray kills thousands. I doubt a thousand spiders could do in a race of pests so efficiently. Indeed, the spider is little more than an antiquated species with few redeeming qualities....unless youre like my cat who enjoys stalking and eating them.

Probably true, but in my yard the dragonflies outnumber the mosquitoes (I live by the river). I still get a few mosquito bites, but watching the dragonfly chomp one down convinced me they work. It might be a worthwhile experiment to wait until the spray subsides and get a bunch of dragonfly nymphs.
