A rattle can of Clear Coat turns fly's, bee's, wasps, moths etc into Gliders. This makes them much more managable.
Also painting the resident Black Widows a brighter color keeps you from stepping or sitting on them unexpectedly. I find yellow works well as does lime green, or day-glo pink, avoid blue as it gives them perfect camo on a Ford engine (don't ask....)

I hear those mosquito magnets work really well. I think there about 400 bucks though. But with how many darn mosquitos around here its worth it. Shoot they should be our state bird.

I had some of those big gray spiders take up residence on a high shelf over my workbeck once. I just left them alone and it was amazing the number of flying insects they could do away with. I don't like spiders much but they never bothered me as they just stay in their big web.
I have heard the thing that atracts mosquitos is the carbon dioxide that we exhale. HMMMM, maybe a compressed bottle of said gas to bait the trap, and some ingenuity and...

If you see something BIG...and you want to get rid of it quick, just grab a can of WD-40....aim towards the creature, and just before you spray, light a cigarette lighter just below the stream....

When I am out of wasp amd hornet spray I grab the B-12 or any other carb clean aerosol. Leave the little red tube in the sprayer and it knocks them out of the air like a S.A.M.
