    Conkers on every window cill and corners of doors. The chemical in them keeps the crawlies away.

    Just remember as you get rid of the spiders in your house, they are carnivores who only eat other insects. By ridding your house of spiders you are encouraging a whole host of other insects to live in your house.

    All the other insects are welcome...(well except for earwigs that is) it's the spiders that give me the ibee jeebies. As long as they do their eating outside that's fine by me.

    Personally I love the spiders but I understand some don't.
    The plug is supposed to be good, many recommend it. The downside for you is that when you plug it in all the spiders you don't see appear. All hidden ones wanna get out so expect he'll the first day if you really dislike them.
    If you can live with those you can't see and just wanna get rid of the ones you see one of those nifty catchpoles is what you need. (I'll find the link to those and post below.)

    I have several spiders in the ceiling corners all over the house, those called daddy long legs.
    I leave them there in the case they could be useful, but they just leave there on holiday, the house is full of flies, mosqutoes and other flying things all the same :)
