How can I stop spiders crawling on me while I sleep

[TheOpalFox]

Wtf! I just woke up to a spider crawling across my face!!!!! Yes it was small but my goodness me
😞
Can I do anything to prevent this from happening 😤😤😤😤😤

Get a cat.

I should have added, you won't get spiders crawling about your face but you may get a paw jabbed in your eye at about 5:00 am.

We had hardly any appear during last autumn- I sprayed the anti-spider peppermint spray around doorframes etc

This can backfire!

I'm terrified of spiders so when I saw my new kitten eat one, I quickly started holding him up towards any future spiders to dispose of them. Then one night I woke up to a fat kitten landing on my face with all his claws out. I ended up in A&E getting treated for a scratch on my eyeball. He'd spotted a spider high on the wall above my pillow and tried his best to do his job.

He's still a spider eater now at 13 years old. Luckily his sister is a very accomplished fly hunter.

@DoAWheelie that is full on spider cat...🕷️I have never known spiders to be so invasive ! I barely ever see them (spiders are very secretive I guess ?) let alone need them to be hunted by a feline. Although I am sure mine would oblige. They are good with cockroaches (or bad if you are the roach). But I do remember having a kitten lurking under my bed when I was making up a corner, and he launched himself at me really hurting my eye as I didn't close it fast enough. My optician wrote in my notes "contusion caused by kitten" 🤭
I LOVED THAT CAT for the next 12 years we had together. No spiders were harmed in the making of this episode.

Peppermint oil on bed linens

Ensure the bed is positioned centrally in the room, a safe distance from all walls. Bed must be a frame of 4 thin legs and bedding should never touch the floor. Consider a mosquito type net that adheres to all rules mentioned.

Before getting into bed, perform a fingertip search until suitably terrified. Squeeze eyes shut. Pray regardless of any belief.

It's not foolproof, but you'll have a fighting chance.

It only wanted to rub its willy on your face. Poor spider. 😞

I would douse myself with petrol and then cling film and sleep only after sunrise and before sunset. I'm scared to sleep now and I was already having problems 😩

Sticky traps along skirting boards and under beds and screens on windows in addition to setting your bed in the middle of a fire ring.

Mosquito net?

Just treat the spiders as breakfast. They are delicious!

They’ll be trying to catch the Daddy Long Legs’ , who are intent on sewing your lips together. So be glad of the spider.

I don’t want a spider teabagging, tyvm

Free range gecko. Upside- gecko eats spiders. Downside- gecko crawling on you while you sleep.

Set your house on fire and move to Antarctic as there are apparently no spiders there, No idea if this is true mind you, but surely it’s worth a shot?

Mosquito net.
one of my colleagues had massive spiders in her house and a mosquito net worked.

Balance a scorpion on your face before falling asleep.

What about a bunch of frogs? That could work. 🤗
The downside might be the ribbiting if OP is a light sleeper, though. 🤔

Are you a particularly light sleeper @TheOpalFox ?

Spiders hate peppermint, so get some peppermint oil mix some with water and spray around the room

Go to the park or your garden if you're lucky cut some elderflower small twigs will do put them on your pillow and foot of bed. Spiders hate the smell. I get bitten by spiders and have had reactions this really helps

Scorpions are also arachnids, though.

Thats the beauty of it. It's like 2 magnets repelling eeach other.
Probably.

Or YOU end up as contested territory in the Arachnid Turf War?
