This year my backyard has become a spider metropolis, we have never had this problem before. I don't mind them in my garden but they are all over my deck too. I have been hosing them off with water but they come back! I don't like spiders!

Spiders taste with the tips of their "feet". So you need to lay or spray something they don't like. Cedar chips, moth balls, salt. Also, I heard from a spider wrangler that they HATE Lemon Pledge. So I bought a case of it and spray it all along the doors and windows of my house. I have no more spiders inside. I don't know how effective it would be outside.

Spiders don't like cedar. Try spreading around some cedar chips in the areas they frequent. Plus it just smells so good!! You could also mix 1 ounce of salt with 1 gallon of warm tap water. It will kill them in a short period of time. Best for the deck area. Stay away from plants.

Best spider repellent is HUMMINGBIRDS! Hummers eat lots of spiders-- their source of protein. Additionally they use bits of webs to build their nests. Put out some feeders and the spiders will go away. I'm in the country and had mountains of the things building webs all over the house and barn and fences. Put out several hummingbird feeders and haven't seen a spider since. Give it a go. It really works.

Sprinkle a mixture of chyenne pepper and regular black pepper all over the affected areas. If that doesn't work, grab a big shoe and squish squish squish! Seriously, though, you can wash your deck down with 1 part apple cider vinegar 2 parts DAWN (it must be Dawn, others won't work!) and 5 parts hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot water. (Like boiling)

not merely the mattress, the closet too. ;-; If I dropped one in all my filled animals off of the mattress even as i grow to be attempting to sleep, and the room grow to be darkish, i'd enable it stay there because i theory some thing may grab my arm from less than the mattress as i attempted to p.c.. it up. :3 i do not trust that stuff anymore although. I nonetheless get spooked with assistance from the closet if I watch an tremendously scary horror action picture although. >->

Napalm works quite well. Just keep your kids away for a few hours.
