I live in Northern Ireland and every autumn I get some really huge monster spiders running around my house. I am terrified of spiders but also refuse to hurt or kill them. I have various devices to safely remove them and put them outside but is there anything that would keep them away, for example some kind of scented oil or plant. I clean and dust into all corners regularly so this isnt the problem. Please help - I'm turning into a nervous wreck !

two solutions, once they have been removed, spray the house with tea tree oil, then get some moth balls and put them under and around the house. They cannot stand them.
1. get bottle of tea tree oil( all natural)
2. get water spray bottle and add water
3. add 4 drops of tea tree oil to water in bottle
4. spray all areas of house: vents, air ducts, closets, corners.
This will not hurt your furniture or paint!!!

You can borrow my cat Jessica - she is a master at spider collecting and eating. Aside from that there is a plug you can buy from Robert Dyas or other hardware stores that will deter the spiders coming in. We have a mosquito plug in the bedroom and haven't had any in since this happened. Good luck

You must start by making an unfriendly climate in your house for the spiders. That means removing any potential food, i.e. other insects. Remove any habitat for the spiders adjacent to the house outside, i.e. shrubs against the outside walls. Fill all the cracks you can find around windows, doors and base boards. Check under sinks and where the water, electrical, phone, etc utilities come into the house. These actions will help slow their proliferation but if your are convinced that they deserve humane treatment they will keep coming back. Good Luck!!!

I feel for ya! I hate spiders, but I've learned that they keep the rest of the bugs out!!!!! The fly is the dirtiest little creature as far as I know & spiders eat them & the ants when they come around in hot weather. I've seen some pretty big spiders in my time & I've been told by others to put 1 cup of white vinegar with 2 cups water in spray bottle. Spray around edges of windows & doors & wherever else you think. They'll go away. Good luck.

Eeek I feel bad for you I hate spiders. Get an exterminator or try spraying Lemon Pledge along window sill and walls. I heard that helps to deter spiders.

Install a fine stainless steel screen on all the windows, including the doors. Spray insecticides around the house regularly. Clean the surroundings and burn those dried leaves in one corner safely away from the house.

This may sound stupid but I swear it has worked for me. Spiders eat other spiders, so I put those big plastic and/or rubber spiders(like the ones you see in stores around halloween) around all the places I saw spiders in my home in the past. They have to be bigger then the ones running around your place. I'd say it cut down on the spiders in my house by 75% this summer. It's safer then pesticides too.

The only way that you can get rid of spiders in house : is to
vaccum all cob webs. Scented oils would be airfreshners arosol
type spray in an bottle they can't stand that stuff so try it!

Spiders are OK when you get to know them (I do kill Black Widows and Brown Recluse);
The spider weaves a sticky web,
to capture bugs to eat!
What keeps the spider's sticky web from sticking to her feet?
Spider webs are very tricky,
Because, not all the strands are sticky!
Unlike the helpless passing fly,
The spider knows which strands are dry!
Not remember the author I was a child when I learned this. I do believe it was a woman! Ha!!! ;-p
