Spiders!

I live in an old building and it's that time of year again when the little eight legged squatters seem to decide they want to move in. I use peppermint spray to keep them out of the bedroom but if I sprayed it everywhere then it would smell like a sweet factory so does anyone have any other ideas about how I can keep the big eyed arachnoid hairy legged buggers at bay?

Ask them nicely not to come in and build places in the garden for them to live.

They have feelings you know.

I love spiders! They're like the perfect housemate. So quiet and they get rid of flies. They even decorate for you with pretty ceiling designs.

I've never heard of peppermint spray. Where do you get that from and does it really work? We get some monster spiders around here

Problem is I don't mind swatting a fly, can't squash a spider though for some reason. Its like kill a wasp, Yes, kill a Bee, No. I can't explain why.

You can buy it from Wilko or Bargain ???? (sorry cant remember the name) but I make my own with some peppermint oil and cooled boiled water. It does work but be careful on your furnishings with it.

I read somewhere about putting conkers on window sills will work but no proof it actually does

Peppermint spray is brilliant... I got mine from aldi

Hate spiders but they do keep the flies at bay. Serious aracnophobe here.

A friend of mine has a pet tarantula and its interesting to watch in the tank but when she gets it out i'm out of there!

Spiders are fascinating and very useful creatures without hem we’d be overrun with flies and other beasties far more unpleasant that our 8 legged friends

Well thank you all for your replies

I guess no one really likes flies

So you think I should look bonkers

Collecting and throwing conkers

Just as long as I leave them spiders alive......

Have a wonderful weekend all.

For all you arachnophobes - google a close up pick of a jumping spider.

I promise you, you’ll struggle not to find it the cutest little thing going

Exactly.

I put down saucers of water every couple of days to ensure that they have an accessible source; they also have access to the dog's water. of course.

They do hate horsechestnut and pepermint oil and i hate them so always have the spray at hand to spray everywhere in my room. You can buy a spray called spider be gone but it is basically those two ingredients put together.
