anyone know whats the best insecticide for killing spiders?

I don't know what the best may be, but I've had really good results with a product called "Home Defense".

Over the counter at your major hardware stores.
Good luck!

I have had luck with "Home Defense" when sprayed directly on the spider. If they are in a garage I suggest getting some of those water activated fogger cans. Be sure to seal up the area and put a sign on the door not to enter until a certain time. You may need several foggers based on the sq ft of the space. I set them off right before I go to bed and in the morning no more spiders or bugs.

I've actually had good luck with that all natural plant based stuff. My new house was absolutely infested with black widows and with one strip around the outside of the house, the windows and doors, and around the floor of each room and they're gone, they've all retreated to the garage that is about to get fogged. On the upside though, it's completely baby and pet safe. You could drink the stuff if you could stand the taste.

I also have had good luck with home defense for spiders. But what about cave crickets in the basement. Thats what we call them here, blackish brown and 1-2 inches long. They dont make any noise. I am beating my head against the wall trying to get rid of these things. Any help would be great.

Sounds weird but apparently if you put chestnuts in the area like under a workbench or in a closet the spiders won't stick around.
My old neighbor did this & no spiders or webs.
