As anyone heard of putting conkers in the corners of your room to keep the spiders away?

[CLKD]

Yep and it don't work: my spider built a web all over the conker on one windowsill 

[littleminnie]

Maybe that's because you didn't put them on the floor. Lol

Don't think there is much that will keep spiders out to be honest.

Just whack them.....or buy a spider catcher that sucks them up and they you can drop them outside.

Why put them anywhere?  There's nothing in a conker that a spider won't like    ......... and I rarely kill spiders unless it was the one in 1991 which looked foreign

We sort of covered this last Autumn in this thread http://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,20315.0.html

I don't think it works by the way - but, then again, I love spiders apart from when they lurk behind the skirting board and rush out to capture one of my silver fish

Yikes, not this again!

Tried it- didn't work. I can't kill them though. Not their fault I'm scared of them  I have half a coca cola bottle that I use as my spider catcher and I throw them outside. If they are big I have to hold a piece of card on top as I'm sure they could "get me"

we have a pest repeller here. You plug it into the wall and it lets out an ultra sonic screech which insects hate. Works a treat too

I have one of those but my stick insects would be upset if I plugged it in    (which are free to agood home)
