Bugs! (slightly off topic)

From: "Cooper, Susan L." SLCooper at scj.com> on 2002.01.23 at 18:40:52(8049) This isn't for ants, but I was listening to a lady being interviewed on the radio today- she lived in a very old schoolhouse that was INFESTED with brown recluse spiders. If you have never heard of these monsters, they have a poisonous bite that will leave a BIG hole and they can even kill. Anyhow, the woman being interviewed said she spent over $2,000 on 2 different exterminating companies, to no avail. She ended up getting an electronic device off QVC (television sales) that plugs into an outlet and somehow sends out electronic impulses that affect the central nervous systems of these creatures and either drives them off or kills them. Anyhow, her spiders are gone. Usually I pooh-pooh these devices, but this woman convinced me! I wonder if something like this would work in a greenhouse, and what bugs it would affect? I suppose outdoors it might not work as well. -Just my usual 2 cents (usually worth much less) Susan
