I am starting to see more spiders in my house (clean state so it's not because it's messy)!!
Do you know what can I buy from supermarkets or anywhere that can repel them?
As I do not want to squash them on my white walls :P

They hate conkers. At this time of year I put bowls of conkers around my house and it seems to work at keeping them away. Bought stuff from Betterware called Spider Stop - a spray you put round doors and windiws to keep them out - waste of money!

They are looking for a nice warm spot for the winter too. Rather than poisoning yourself with chemicals all over the house, try the vacuum. If you are paranoid about spiders in the vacuum bag, spray a little bit of household insecticide in the bag, through the nozzle, when you are just finishing vacuuming.
There are spider catchers that let you capture them and release them outdoors, but sounds like that's not for you.

Whenever I have kept a cat or house ferret my place has been virtually spider free. The only time I ever saw a spider when I had the ferrets was right before Ralph ate it.

This might sound cruel but I had 2 massive ones with hairy long legs and big bodies and every time I looked at them I went all strange with fear so in the end I got the hoover with the attachable hose out and sucked them up, no worries, I thought they might crawl back up the hose to get out but they didn't so well chilled after that ..........

There is a spray called"no more spiders" which is a non-harmful spider deterrent, it's made by a company called "151 products limited, Globe house, Southall street, Manchester.UK." e-mail is www.151.co.uk. hope that helps.

you can buy a thing from maplin that you plug in and it stops them comin in your house it only works up to a ceratin range so youd probably need more than one i dont have one but ive heard they are good. im terrified of spiders and ive been gettin loads too and not just wee ones theyve been huge ive ordered a bottle of spider stop from betterware and you spray it round the places you think they are comin from im just hoping its gony work.x
