I already "fogged" the bathroom, but I think they're living way up inside the fan. As a serious arachnophobe, this is really freaking me out. Any advice?
thanks so much.

I live in the southwest, tons of what you don't like. Wolf Spiders, Black Widows and more.
WD 40 you can find anywhere at the stores. Get the Smart Straw if you can find it. Has the attached straw that you can't lose. Newest on the market.
WD 40 is an oil based product. As a hiker when fire ants are near by I spray it on my "fiver finger shoes" and they don't get near me.
As spiders are insets (if my spelling is right) and gas and oil products make them "fall apart".
I have crab spiders, very very fast, when you try to grab a fly slapper or something to kill them with, their gone!!!!
WD 40 pull the straw up and shoot. With a good dose, they will fall a part. Works great on crickets too.
Even tho they may still be alive after the shot don't worry they won't be for long.

If they are in your ceiling fan they are probably all through your house. I had a brown recluse problem so I went to the local farm store. They sold me some spray called Vipor. I sprayed the entire house and haven't seen another spider since. You will need to spray the whole house. It is suppose to be safe for pets and people but make plans on leaving for the day it does have a odor to it.
