Whether it's a spider dangling from the ceiling or a fly buzzing around the kitchen, I cannot stand creepy crawly anything—especially when they’re in my house or near my person. If you need to play Terminator and kill spiders or kill flies in your home, or mosquitoes flying around your body, here are 16 top-rated products from Amazon that will prevent insects from even coming near you.

The worst thing about using a tissue to kill spiders is how close you have to get to them. No thank you. Instead, use this simple picker-upper, which lets you stand up to four feet away to snag critters. People love that it's durable, easy to use, and non-lethal because you can release the bug outside after you catch it.

This plant-based insect repellent isn't your average bug spray. There's no gross residue or unpleasant scent.

People who need to kill flies, mosquitos, or gnats swear by this UV light trap, which lures bugs close and then sucks them in with a powerful fan.

You don't need smelly sprays or noisy zappers to kill bugs—just stop them from invading your home in the first place. If you’re trying to get rid of stink bugs, specifically, the best way to go is sealing up any gaps around your doors and windows, because those thin critters can shimmy their way in.

If you do find your door or window isn’t closing completely flush, a cheap and easy fix is using foam tape to eliminate that space (and a draft stopper for doors with a gap at the bottom).

Is it a toy or a tool? The answer is both, really. With over 15,000 5-star reviews, the Bug-A-Salt is praised for being highly entertaining to use, and its method of shooting a spray of table salt at your victim seems effective. It can be used both to kill spiders crawling along surfaces or kill flies buzzing through the air, making it the ultimate weapon in your war on home-invading bugs.

There's a reason this lantern is the best-selling bug zapper on Amazon. With a half-acre "killing radius," not only does it work well, but reviewers also claim it's much quieter and much more attractive than other zappers. Plus, it has a protective cage on the exterior to keep kids and pets safe.

Ants are the worst. They invade your kitchen, your bathroom—literally everywhere. If you see one, it means more are on their way.

If you're trying to avoid chemical-filled sprays and bombs, you may want to consider this duster, which applies diatomaceous earth powder around your home. Supposedly, this powder will kill spiders and other bugs on the spot, thanks to its abrasive surface and ability to dry out any carapace that crawls across it. According to reviews, the hose makes it easy to contain the spray to just where you want it (the powder on its own is very messy to apply), and it is both effective at getting rid of existing infestations and provides a barrier to prevent new bugs from showing up.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration staff said on Friday Novavax Inc's vaccine reduces the risk of mild-to-severe COVID-19 and that it was likely the shot could provide some level of protection against the Omicron variant.
