How to Repel Spiders Naturally

I found a really great post on a few different ways to repel spiders naturally. I hate spiders and seeing one can give me the creeps for an entire day!

I found an easy spray that repels spiders.

  I sprayed this spray on a brown recluse and watched it die on my wall.  Now, I will admit that I didn't spray it just once, but before you think I simply drowned the spider, I've tried spraying a spider several times with water and it did not kill it.

Here's the simple recipe:

2 tsp. Peppermint Oil

               1 cup of water

Directions:

Pour peppermint oil and water into spray bottle and shake well.  Spray directly on spiders, as well as around windows, doors, edges of the room, etc.  It is important to use this larger amount of oil per cup of water.

Spiders hate peppermint oil and will try to find another home.  I saw a definite decrease in spiders after starting this spray.  

Not: only is it possible to repel spiders without toxic chemicals, your house will smell like Christmas in July. :)   Do you have successful ways you repel spiders naturally?
