Spider-killing sprays also kill flies, but fly-killing sprays don't kill spiders. (lemmy.world)

They're the same price at Walmart, so it pretty much always makes sense to go with the spider-spray.

The flies don't die 'on-contact' like they do with the fly-specific spray, but they do die after a brief period of delirium.

Are you crazy! I mean if you live somewhere were dangerous spiders I could see it but spiders mostly stay out of the way and kill insects. I totally don't want to kill them.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
