Even though some of these spider bites are non-toxic, they are still not worth the risk. However, the best way to keep them out of your home is to not let them in or dwell in your home.

Using Miss Muffet’s Revenge is the perfect way to avoid those spider bites and home infestations. Here are some basic steps to use this product:

miss muffet's revenge

Step 1: Begin by first setting up the trigger sprayer that comes with Miss Muffet’s Revenge. Start with flipping open the cap on the bottle.

You then want to take out the trigger sprayer and pull the tubing from the bottom of the sprayer until taught, the tubing should stretch out around 3 feet. See the photo above for how to correctly pull the tubing.

Step 2: Once your sprayer is set up, you’re ready to go! Spray the perimeter around your home and everywhere you see spider webs.

The next day, knock down the webs with a broom or blower. From here on, you shouldn’t see spiders for up to 12 months indoors and in outdoor areas not exposed to the elements.

Over time, the rain outside will eventually wash away the lasting effects of Miss Muffet’s Revenge in areas that are exposed to the rain. At the first sign of new spiders, you’ll want to reapply Miss Muffet’s Revenge to once again prevent spiders from being in your home.

Step 3: After spraying the perimeter, make sure you turn the sprayer to the stream setting so you can reach all the higher surfaces where spiders love to make their webs. Miss Muffet’s Revenge has a souped-up trigger sprayer that allows spraying a distance of 12 feet!

Additionally, here is a great resource for further questions regarding these spiders.
