Product Information
Full details
The Xterminate Spider Repellent Spray is for homeowners looking for a fast and effective way to remove and deter spiders from their living spaces. Its key benefit is its dual-action formula that not only kills spiders on contact but also targets their lifecycle to prevent future infestations. A potential caveat is that while it works on all spider types, it contains Cypermethrin, a chemical that requires careful application in homes with pets or young children.

FAQs
How long does the repellent effect last?
The repellent effect can last for several weeks, but this may vary depending on environmental factors such as weather and the presence of light and dust. Reapplication may be necessary in highly trafficked or exposed areas.
Can this spray be used on furniture or carpets?
It is recommended to test the spray on a small, hidden area of furniture or carpet first. While designed for general use, some materials may react differently. Avoid direct saturation.
Is this product safe for use around pets?
While effective, the spray contains Cypermethrin. It is advised to remove pets from the immediate area during application and until the sprayed surfaces are dry. Ensure pets do not ingest or come into prolonged contact with treated areas.
Does this spray kill other insects besides spiders?
The primary formulation is designed for spiders. However, it may have a knockdown effect on other crawling insects due to its active ingredient.
How should I store the spider repellent spray?
Store the spray in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.
What is the concentration of the active ingredient?
The spray contains 0.1% Cypermethrin.
Troubleshooting
Spray is not dispensing
Ensure the nozzle is clear and properly attached. Shake the can vigorously. If the issue persists, the can may be empty.
Spiders are not dying immediately after spraying
Ensure direct contact with the spider. The spray may take a few moments to become fully effective. Reapply if necessary, ensuring adequate coverage.
Visible residue on surfaces
Wipe down treated surfaces with a damp cloth after the spray has dried, if desired. Always test in an inconspicuous area first to check for surface compatibility.
