Comments on: Spider Droppings http://www.brownrecluse.com/treatments/spider-droppings.html How to treat Spider problems in and around the home Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:07:29 +0000 hourly 1 By: Support http://www.brownrecluse.com/treatments/spider-droppings.html#comment-7201 Support Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:07:29 +0000 http://www.brownrecluse.com/?p=264#comment-7201 @<a href="#comment-7200" rel="nofollow">guest</a>: Spider droppings can be hard to dissolve and clean. The best product designed to melt away spider webs and spider droppings is Webout. It's unique enzymic action will do the job. This product is exempt from federal registration because it's made from food grade actives so it's very safe to use. But it will kill spiders if you spray them directly. Of course, any standard household cleaner will kill spiders too if you spray them directly and since it sounds like you're targeting the window's, I don't think you'll affect any living spiders.

I forgot to mention they are cylinder in shape and not attached to fabric as mold would do. I can pick them up individually as you would do with pellets like mouse droppings. Also, when turning over the chairs there were a large number of spider eggs - small, white, fuzzy - all over the bottom.. I strongly think it's a type of spider. What would you suggest to use to eliminate spiders? Thanks for your help./ Thanks for your support but these are definitely droppings.

It will commonly take advantage of hot, steamy rooms and one of the most common locations for it to grow is on stuffed furniture and any kind of fabric. In fact I have to deal with this exact issue at my house in our enclosed patio and open front porch. I use two products featured in our Mold Control Article which stops it. The Mold Blaster is for removing the mold (kills it dead first, then removes it) and then the Mold Blocker to stop new mold from growing. We treat about once a year and that seems to do the trick. Outside of mold, there are lots of insects it could be but unless you see something in there, I'd try remedying the problem with the Mold products. Any insect leaving that kind of mess would be visible.

They are not in clusters but scattered on back and arms of chair. When we pick up the cushion there were many more located there. The description of these droppings were 3/8 in length, black or very dark with one tip being white. I've never seen anything like this. This sun porch is closed off from rest of house so very hot in summer except when we turn on the air conditioning unit designated for that one room. This room is over a crawl space with 2 vents. Also have one door going outside. Any suggestions?? I have recently found numerous droppings on the stuffed chairs on my sun porch. They are not in clusters but scattered on back and arms of chair.

I've seen this happen but would not say it's "ordinary". Since there are so many species of spiders around the country and with them all feeding on different food sources, it's likely their poo would be different from house to house. Since no scientific data has been amassed to accurately categorize their droppings, it's quite hard to say what the poo should or should not look like. That being said, I've seen droppings look quite similar from different species. I think this can happen when they're feeding on the same food. But I've also seen dramatically different looking droppings so it can vary. Again, just not enough info to have a definitive "yes or no" answer. @Susan: Yes and no.

Is that a ordinary house spider poo. We noticed in our summer home black ink dots that have a smear tail like end. Is that a ordinary house spider poo.

Their poop is actually white and accumulates on our deck beneath their webs. I just wanted to make note that different kinds of spiders have different colors of poop. It is also amazing how much waste can be produced by such a small creature. We have yellow garden spiders which get quite large through the fall and early winter.

In most cases a good inspection done throughout the garage will let you know if any are out in the open. Setting up some Spider Traps can really help narrow down where they're living. These traps will both control and help to monitor local activity so you can take a more active approach if need be.
