My friend, who has is scared of spiders, says she thinks there is a kind of spider repellent that can keep them away, but I don't think there is such a thing. Can anyone provide any further information?
There is a spider repellent you can get called amiral spider spray. I have used it in my house and it really does work. You can find it on www.spidergone.co.uk. There is another one which is a spray made of all natural things that keep spiders away but i havent tried it so i dont know if it works. That can be found at www.pestcontrolshop.co.uk/spiders
I got mine from here at the end of last summer when the spiders started coming in the house and I've not seen once since I plugged it in by our stairs in the middle of the house, well impressed!
