For me, I think it depends. I want to see spiders *die* ~~ mostly because I believe that they are solitary pests and do not travel in groups.

I kinda like the concept that cockroaches and/or rats would carry the pesticide back to their "colony" and kill a group of them ~~ I suspect for this purpose that type of product is most effective.

However....I haven't had cockroaches since college, and I hope I have no use for that product any time soon. I dislike bugs. I'm only deathly afraid of spiders, btu I wouldn't choose to have any bug in the house.
