I never knew the High Desert has so many insects!! Spiders especially. I nicknamed my house "The Spiderville Horror" lol, cuz thats what it is!! We were killing spiders inside EVERYDAY. And when I woke up one morning with 7 spider bites on ONE arm, I knew it was time to call the professionals! Plus the photos of the bites scared the hell out of my poor mother.
I just didn't pull the trigger blindly. Adscot came highly recommended from my fence guy at Gates Are Us (now AGS). He said he had been using them for years, then ironically a few days later a worker installing my Solar who had a spider problem at his home recommend them also!! That was enough for me, so I booked the one initial spraying which was *** 45 dollars LESS than Terminex *** just for your F.Y.I ;)
Adscot is a small, family-owned company which I totally PREFER to SUPPORT! Scott stopped by and dropped "Da Bomb" on those Spiders, he he! Well, not really a bomb...he just sprayed real good and also gave us some GREAT, INVALUABLE information on how to keep these buggers away between sprayings...FOR FREE!! He he!! ( Yes, a company actually gave me something for free guys! Lol)
After the spraying his extra friendly and sweet wife Patti warned me that I "might" see MORE spiders up to 4 days after the spraying due to them freaking out and trying to escape then DIE and she wasn't kidding! A few days after the spraying I decided to take a gander outside my ground-level backyard patio door that night and saw this HUGE, grayish big butt, long arms, spider-looking scorpion thing moving quite fast and scared the S**t outta me!!! :( :(
He moved so quickly I couldn't squash it even if I was brave enough to approach this hellish-looking creature!!
I slammed the patio door screaming but I was all alone in the world as my normal spider killing device (my husband) was in the freaking shower! I franticly tried to describe this evil being as I hopped on Google to try to find out what the hell it was!! After about 10 minutes of research it looked closest to a Camel Spider or Sun Spider! So I tell my husband that I "think" this HUGE creature might be a Camel Spider! That's when my trademark clueless husband announced ...."Oh yeah, as the exterminator was spraying outside he said he thought he saw a bunch of long legged baby CAMEL SPIDERS!!!"
EEeeWWWEE :(
Now he tells me, GREAT TIMING, right?!? :( I really appreciate an exterminator that could tell the spider species... even as a baby!! But it doesn't matter much as I probably will not be going out into my back yard E V E R, lol! Regardless if they all die or not....we'll just go buy the Bar-B-Q this fourth of July, he he!
Although I am NOT fully "cured" of my STRONG fear of Spiders....Ascot definitely helped me feel a bit less Hunted and Attacked! And maybe... in a year or two I can enjoy a cold drink out on my Patio..... God willing ;)
