These suckers just seem to really love my metal barn, especially around the door chains - I really need to thin the heard (or even better eradicate them entirely)

Suggestions?

Taurus SC insecticide. Active ingredient is fipronil. Long residual chemistry for other pests (same AI as Termidor for termites) and very safe for pets (AI in some flea & tick collars). Can be bought online.

Should note that spider require repeat applications as new ones come in. They won't be killed by residual activity.

Demon WP is what I've always read is the gold standard for outdoor spiders and scorpions, though Taurus, Talstar, Tempo and others probably gets the job done well too. Demon Max is oil based for longer residual, though could stain.

Liquid demon concentrate (demon max?) is what I always used in corpus.

Found 4 inside the house in one day and realized I probably need to start using chemicals. Never saw any bugs in the house ever again.

Bifenthrin (talstar) will make short work of them too.

We tolerate them in the garage in Flour Bluff. They have a penchant for dining on roaches.

Demon Max will nuke them both. Why tolerate either?

Onslaught FastCap is known for scorpions but will also knock out any spider

I don't know what your sleeping situation is but I had a huge scorpion issue in corpus and this killed them dead.

I recommend spraying it in your trailer or cabin or whatever and you won't see them again

Go out at night with a butane torch and headlamp. They will all be hanging upside down in their webs and easy to quickly roast. That plus chems should really knock them back. Gotta find the females and burn those egg sacks too.

This is very true. Spiders are not insects, therefore they do not put their feet in their mouth.

They can walk through residual chemical and not be affected.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.
