Just wondering if there was anything I could spray around the outside of the house to prevent them from coming in. Thanks.

Keep spider webs knocked down around windows and eaves, monthly pesticide treatment high and low on outside of house.

You can help control spiders but will not eliminate spiders 100% from being in the house.

The more trees you have around the house and bushes around the house, you will see more spiders in the house.

I did Pest Control and Wild Animal Removal for 10 years........... trying to tell customers that you can not eliminate spiders 100% from being inside the house was probably the hardest part of the job.

You can reduce, but your not going to eliminate them.

Buy some insecticide called DEMON or TEMPO.

Or get ahold of a few Osage Oranges. Put them in your basement, in a bowl in a cabinet. They work great.

full house
the Best thing you can get to spray your foundation with, is what is called TEMPO. it is a consentrated product you can get at farm supply and is what our company uses for "founation insect control", it keeps EVERY thing out from spiders to crickets to ants etc. the only thing is it might be ristricted where your from. some sates you have to have a operators license and some you dont. well worth getting. this product lasts 6 week before having to re-aply we do it once in the spring once in summer and once in sept for fall. hope this helps
