Black Widow in bed!!! How to get rid of spiders?

[CalBuilder]

Hi All,

Last night I awoke to the feeling of a bug on my exposed hand. I quickly (only partially) squashed the bug and turned the lights on- it was a Black Widow!!
It was still very alive, so I dispatched it and proceeded to tear my bed area apart at 2:00am to make sure there weren't any more!

I'm thinking of calling Terminix, as I've seen other spiders around the house.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting rid of spiders??

thx

I did this twice: I poured muriatic acid over them, while they tried to run away. (I saw them in the bathroom, on separate occasions, and I always had muriatic acid inside the bathroom).

Although, I haven't use any sprays after that. Try some natural methods like using ammonia & water when cleaning windows. Then wipe them, once dry, with water and kerosene.

Well, I found that tip from a website, but I can't post the link since I am still new.
