A Natural Spider Spray Formula for inside the house:
Dr Bronners Peppermint or Lavender Soap, or any other natural soap.
1 ounce of Neem oil
You can also add 1 to 5 drops of any of these Essential Plant Oils (depending on your preference) to 1 quart of water:
Catnip Oil, Citronella Oil, Lavender Oil, Cinnamon Oil, Peppermint Oil, Citrus Oil, Tea Tree Oil, or other essential oils.
Add 5 tablespoons of the soap per quart water. Add one ounce of the Neem oil to the water which you have added the soap and label it. Shake well and spray inside house where spiders are seen. Test for strength. May be done as often as needed. This is not a long term solution but will provide you immediate help. Oils may stain some fabrics or light colored furnishings, test first.
Spray outside the house:
Use the same formula to spray the foundation, eaves and soffits, and the areas around doors, windows and crawls space, or attic vents, or any area where you see spiders congregating. You can also use any citrus based cleaner like Citra Solv at 1 oz per quart water. Spray around the outside of the house or where spiders congregate.

Spiders are actually quite beneficial and we should try to get used to them.

First, you have to find the little gray egg sacs, those have at least 50 to 1,000 eggs. Smush them good, then pour alchohol all around the yard. If the attack of the spiders episode continues, find a good exterminater.

Answer 3

yow!
I just saw a scary movie (well horrible really but fun) and it had lots of spider stuff in it iee!

I would check with a natural foods grocery store. I remember someone talking about that once, but I don't remember what it was? I know borax is good for roaches. . .

best of luck to ya
