Spiders: How to deter them from my home?

My mom and sister like to put hedgeapples in their attics and basements. I guess the spiders steer clear, esp. of those rooms. The spiders won't completely leave, but the number of spiders is supposed to decrease.

Magic, including voodoo, only works if the victim believes in it. If you believed his curses, you might start to subconsciously see signs of it, like these spider coincidences. If you don't believe in curses, they can't affect you. Unfortunately, you seem to think that these spiders are somehow connected to him. You've got to realize how silly that sounds, if you'll forgive my rudeness; nobody can control spiders. There's a good reason there are spiders in your new abodes; among other things, spring is a time when spiders are hatched and grow and feed on other bugs so you can notice more of them.\n\nOf course, if you find yourself believing in something, it's always hard to stop. In this case, it might be wise for you to try some magic of your own, whichever brand you prefer.\n\nStill, his death threats make me worry about more readily bodily harm for you.

Yes. Many spiders build their webs so that they are more than two feet from the ground.

Start playing with coy spiders keeping them all over your body. Start telling your self that u r not afraid of them(Auto suggestion).\nKeep watching real spidres and start to realise that they r harmless creatures and r as innocent as coy spidres. Keep moving nearer to them day by day See their beauty and skills and realise they r harmless than many of your homosapiens.

all of them are wrong.  its 3 spiders a year and the ones you eat are dead and just fall in. they dont harm anything because they are small. you cant avoid it and yes it includes people who vaccum their house everyday (which i dont see the point in doing)

traps on your property. catch a couple of them and the owners might keep them closer to their own home.

Check the windows. they are getting in some where's. They maybe coming in at night and that's why you can't see them during the day. Maybe spiders are night animals....UGH\nI don't know I hate spiders too! Well at least it's a daddy long legs and not a black widow or something....

I can't find anything, but I don't know what I'm looking for other than a black and yellow spider.  Here's a source which has some good pictures for which you can possible identify.  Check the garden spiders, orb weavers, and banana spiders.\n\nhttp://www.spiderzrule.com

First, you need to remove the source.  The insects you may be referring to tend to lay their eggs in soil--such as the soil in your potted pants.  You need to re-pot any live plants you have in your home.  Also, you need to insure that no food (particularly fruit--peels or whole) is left out in the open or in uncovered garbage cans. It is advisable to scrub any garbage cans you have indoors.  Getting rid of those insects you can presently see is not a big problem--an off the shelf bug spray will take care of that.\n\nIf you take the above measures, you will rid yourself of the nuisance.

I have heard of only two poisonous spiders that live in homes.  Black widows which unless you have a serious allergic reaction to venoms, are the lease harmful.  But from the sound of it, u could have been bitten by a brown recluse which is very deadly.  These bite will not get better.  The venom will eat the surrounding tissue and eventually gangrene will set in and unfortunely ur limb is on the chopping block. :(  I would serious go to the ER and say look this could be a brown recluse bite and I need serious med attention.  I have pics from an email as a warning and what the bite looks like and the effect of that bite 9 days after it happen.  So u are welcome to email me and I'll be happy to send it to u for comparisons.  But I do agree with you your doctor should have done better.  He should have done a blood work or gotten tissue samples to determine the seriousness of the problem.  Return to the ER and be seen!!!

matters how scared u r of them if u r terrified and u leave the house if you see one, then u probably need help lol....exposure to them is the best way. first start off small like look @ them on pictures and stuff and then work ur way up to watching movies about them(dicovery chaneel and pbs not 8 legged freaks) and then go lookin for them. watch them there pretty neat. I feed a black widow in my backyard every now and then when im back there its pretty cool how they work. im not helping am i ? lol......

The best idea is to find the hole it used to get in, then you can install a one-way trap door (most pest-control places can do this) to get rid of them.  You will have to make sure all possible entrances are taken care of, squirrels are very crafty and persistent.  Seal up all the holes.\n\nIf you can't do this, there is still one alternative.  Most pest-control stores will also sell little poison food pellets.  Make sure you put them in the wall / attic and that no pets have access to those areas.  It is regrettable, but to protect your house and property (and to be able to sleep nights without that scratching) you have to do it.\n\nAs a longer-term alternative.  Owning an outdoor cat seems to drive them away fairly well.\n\nGood luck.
