well this does work but not in the way you think. the spider does not think its a rival spider it works by cutting the string at the exact moment the filthy beast is underneath and assuming conker specimen is big enough it should brain the dirty evil nasty spider thing.

Yes a conker in the corner of the room keeps spiders away, I have done it for years and it really does work.How would you like your pie? hot or cold?

no it's not true why don't you put a spider in a bucket with a conker and see if it worries about the conker.
She'd probably appreciate it more if you ate hairy pie.

I haven't heard it but spiders are handy to have around. They get rid of flying pests such as flies and their webs are good for rubbing on burns.

no that doesn't work but you can put out cheese to get mice... if you get mice then the mice will eat most spiders... once they eat all of the spiders get a cat or 2... this works and i do it all the time...
