Is there a insecticide that only kills spiders? I have a cat and a dog. So, I have to be careful what I use.

Cats are great spider killers. –  Gunner Jul 4 '12 at 15:03
Spiders are not insects. –  PleaseStand Aug 6 '12 at 1:24
Poor spiders... shame on you, you love your dog but hate spiders.. Hippocratic .. LOL - If you have an invasion of spiders then you need to find the source and call a pro to deal with it. A few spiders is normal and healthy for any house hold. Unless they are Tantalus or highly venomous then you should really call a pro! –  ppumkin Aug 7 '12 at 10:00

Perhaps you could use spider traps? Basically a triangular or rectangular pasteboard tube covered with adhesive inside. Probably safe for pets if they don't chew it.

I have not tried this stuff myself yet but I see Billy the Exterminator use eugenol oil all the time. It is supposed to be natural and safe. EcoSMART looks like one brand that sells it but I assume there are many more.

But a quick Google search also turns up more info this stuff that might be worth reading up on: Darker Side of Eugenol Oil.
