vinyl siding safe spider spray

I had my house sided with vinyl siding a couple years ago.  There is some type of spider that likes the nooks and crannies of the siding, also the soffits and door frames and makes webs that trap all type of insects and leave droppings, etc on my siding.  I am looking for a spray that I can apply that won't stain the siding and will take care of the spiders.  What would you recommend?  I also plan on purchasing one of your spider removal brushes.  Thanks!

Vinyl siding does have  a tendency to attract small insects and promote algae growth just inside the overlapping sections. Spiders will eventually find the activity and move in hoping to harvest some of the insects in the area. There are several sprays we have which can be used to stop both the insects and the spiders. Though none of them will stain, some of the wettable powders can leave a visible residue which can be seen on dark surfaces. If you have dark colored siding, use the EC formulation (Cypermethrin) and you'll be fine.

The best sprays to stop spiders and their webbing would be Deltamethrin or the Cyonara RTS. Both are quite active on spiders, easy to use and safe for the siding. You can see them on our SPIDER PRODUCTS PAGE. Apply these every 1-2 months during the spring, summer and fall. If you have cold winters, the spiders should be dormant so no spraying will be needed at this time.

Since spiders will many times nest up under the eaves and soffits, it's important to treat the entire side of the home. This will require a lot of product to be applied so expect to use 3-4 gallons of finished spray per treatment.

Lastly, vinyl siding has a tendency to promote mold and algae growth. For this reason we recommend spraying it at least once a year with a mold killer/inhibitor like MOLD AND ALGAE KILLER. This will indirectly stop the insect activity which in turn will cut down on the spiders too. If you have further questions, please give us a call on our toll free at 1-800-877-7290.
