Question
i have a three year old who seems to be getting a lot of spider bites on her legs. I've sprayed my entire home inside and out with 3 different products and she is still getting bites on her legs. she likes to play on her swing set in the backyard.i just looked out side this morning and saw about a hundred little webs in my lawn and bushes. is it possible she is getting bit by lawn spiders? and if so what do you suggest i do to get rid of them.

Answer
Rodney,

Bites around the legs and ankles usually indicates fleas rather than spiders. Do you have a pet or does your daughter visit somewhere where she might encounter fleas. There are no spiders that cause the kind of bites you are describing. Post a follow up and I'll help you figure this out.
