Spiders! Is there a home made repellent out there?

I live in the uk, my house is over run with spiders. I have to kill them at the moment cos they're massive and frighten me to death. They're also territorial, i.e., run towards you rather than away! They're making a mess when I squash them I'd rather have a repellant to keep them out the house, prevention rather than death! I'd like to know if there's a repellant I can make.Spiders!

Spiders don't like the smell of Horse Chestnut and Clove oil, so mix some of this together with water and spray it round the doors and windows so they don't come in. Some spiders are so big they make me feel ill! But apparently they are no bigger this year than any other, its just you forget when you don't see them for a few months. You could get one of those tubes that sucks spiders up and then you can put them out in the garden without killing them. This horse chestnut spray definitely works though.Spiders!

fly spray!!!! honestly it really works.. either spray on spiders and it kills them or spray round windows, doors ect and it deters them from coming in!!!!
This is the right time of year to ask this! Go out and collect some Conkers! I put them on my window ledges and anywher spiders are getting in and it really works as they dont like the smell!
i find it hard to believe that they actually attack you...it's certainly better to have them in the house eating all the other nasty insects...what constitutes ';over-run';?... the bigger ones will eat the small ones anyhow...u'll never successfully rid urself of any insect anyway; they rule the planet and will still be here when the human race is long gone...u are probably a thousand times bigger than any spider u can get that's native to this country (UK), so they won't be carrying u off to their lair - they can't build a web big enough to snare you and none of them are poisonous enough to harm u...try and get some therapy, i'm told hypnotism's good...
I can certainly sympathize with you. I recently bought an insecticide called Temp at a local farm service store. It kills every bug you can imagine. I have literally watched spiders die. If you spray a barrier about 4 feet wide around your house, they will be dead before they can come into your house. Try it.. it works.
My 3 jack russells take care of them in my house. As soon as they see it they eat it.
spiders live in fear of other bigger spiders.


i have heard of that if you place them big jokey plastic ones around the house the smaller spiders will stay away as you mentioned they are territorial..


there is also a gadget you can buy that transmits different frequencies that actually paralise the spider thus enabling you to pick it up and remove it humanely, but thes are not to be used around cats apparantely as it has been known to send them into a temporary state of paralysis too.





hope to have been of service..
I understand completely and would also love to know!





I had a big spider lurking in my slippers yesterday!!!





The electronic device seems to work a little bit but not much. I've heard that peppermint oil is suppossed to work but not sure.
The sole of my shoe usually suffices.
Possibly but they keep away even worse bugs
thank god there is someone else out there that feels like me i to think that these spiders are Territorial and no one believes me.


it has also just been reported in our local paper that there are spiders in the village that i live in that have grown exceptionally huge because of the weather we have been having all of the spiders are setting peoples house alarms off there that big.ill be on here all day now reading every ones answers to your question cus i to am petrified
mix kerosine and camphore and spray it


i think it will help
yes there is your, foot or a book or some thing heavy.
I know its hard if you are scared but try and overcome your fear as spiders are good house pests. They eat the horrid things such as flies.
yes a size 11 shoe that will do the job..........
