Answer:

We highly recommend getting a proper identification of the insect in your home. You can try to catch the insect on the same type of Glue Boards used to catch mice, by placing them in the areas you think the highest activity is. Once you have caught some samples on the glue boards, take them to a local pest control company or an Entomologist at your local Cooperative Extension for proper identification. Every pest has a very different treatment method and treating with a product without an identification many times can make the problem you are having worse. The Bonide Total Pest Indoor Concentrate does have spiders and similar insects on the label, and it is very important to follow the product label exactly for each insect you are treating for and the usage areas for those. If you use the product on furniture, it is advised you test it in a small inconspicuous spot first to make sure no adverse reaction occur.
