    Burn it down! lol - I'm terrified of spiders and that would end me. Outside they are left in peace, but like vampires if they cross the threshold, they die. Are they actually in your bins or just the room?

    Strong smelling things don't do much, and the things that kill them will harm your snakes.

Spiders actually eat web. This is 1 way....... The other thing you can do is just vacuum every day and treat the outside perimeter as well as using mouse glue boards in the corners where they keep showing up. This way they will just get stuck, the snakes stay safe, and you can just throw them away and place more down. Hope this helps!

    Thank you, I'll try looking for some spray at home depot next time I go out that way, I didn't think of the glue boards, I'll get those too.
