Get Ready for the Holidays with Hot Shot® Insecticides

Tracking PixelThis is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hot Shot® Insecticides.

My boys think they’re funny. They put THIS in between the pages of my planner so I’d find it and freak out.

And yes, it made me jump.

The thought of any sort of bugs in my house totally creeps me out. While we haven’t had any quite as big as that toy spider, we did recently see some spiders since it is fall spider season(ew, why is that even a thing?). This sucker was crawling on my living room floor. You know, the same living room floor where I usually sit to do my work. *Shudder*

I don’t want any spiders or other creepy crawlies anywhere near me or near my kids. And the thought of having company over who would get the unwelcome surprise of bugs makes me panic. Getting the house ready for the holidays is hard enough, just with the regular cleaning and decorating. I don’t want to have worry about bugs. I want guests to feel at home and comfortable.

Hot Shot® Insecticides can help keep bugs from feeling at home. Hot Shot® Spider & Scorpion spray will kill black widow, brown recluse, and wolf spiders. If you’re having ant problems, try the Ant & Roach spray. Spray the insects you see plus any spaces where these pests might hide like under sinks or where you think they might be getting in, like window frames.

Hot Shot® Insecticides takes pride in providing homeowners with solutions that help to keep their homes free of pests. Then all you have to worry about for the holiday season is all the cooking and baking and present wrapping…. but not about pests in your house.

Be sure to like Hot Shot® Insecticides on Facebook for tips & contests.

    We live in a woodsy area and always have bugs. We go through a lot of Hot Shot.

    Spiders freak me out! We could use some of this. Although my Mom is all, “Don’t kill spiders. Carry them outside!”

    yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. I hate bugs, and love Hot Shot. We get our share of bugs in the summer and fall. The only good bug to me is a dead one. (And even then I don’t like them.)

    No not spiders! My son always liked to take them outside… I prefer to spray them from far far away!

    Ugh… spiders are the only thing I don’t like about Fall weather.

    eek! That is a big spider! I am so glad there are products like Hot Shot to get rid of them. YUCK

    I buy my weight in this stuff EVERY year!! I think I have 2 almost empty cans out on my back patio now. You should see the giNORMous spider I killed out there this summer! I almost passed slick out!

    Oh goodness! We don’t get any scary spiders here but the ones we get I could live without! This stuff sounds great!

    That would have scared me too! I am terrified of spiders! If I saw that in a room in my house, I would leave and just let the spider have the room LOL!

    No creepy crawlies in the house! GAAH. I can’t stand them.

  12. Debra says

    I’m with you I hate bugs. WE occasionally get spider crickets in our basement and they totally freak me out!

  13. Dawn says

    November 18, 2014 at 9:22 pm

    Oh HELL no. No, no, no. NO bugs in this house. If a bug steps one leg into this house, it’s taking its life into its own hands.

    I hate the thought of spiders in my house. I have been bitten by a spider before and had a bad reaction.

      I had the same thing happen. A huge area of my leg turned purple and hard and was swollen.

    My husband would love knowing I’m telling this on him (so let’s keep it just between us 😉 ), but he is terrified of spiders and I have to either kill them or remove them from the house. True story. 🙂

      My husband is like that with snakes. He can’t even stand seeing pictures of them.

    There is absolutely no room for spiders in my house, or any pests.

  17. Brett says

    November 19, 2014 at 8:08 am

    EEwww…. I would have completely freaked out. I just don’t do creepy crawly things.

  18. Stacie says

    November 19, 2014 at 8:09 am

    LOL They totally thought they were being funny. I’d put it right under their pillow 😉

    I can’t handle spiders! I shivered just looking at your picture of one!!

    Is this stuff safe to use in your home? I too hate spiders. I get my husband to kill them. Never heard of HotShot before. Will have to look for it in stores.

    • Shell says

      November 21, 2014 at 6:28 pm

      Yes, you can use it inside!

    Bugs are the worst! My kids are more scared than I am when they see a spider.

  27. Chrysa says

    November 20, 2014 at 5:35 am
