Will those upside down wellie racks keep spiders and bugs out?

I have a rather dark gloomy porch that I need to use store the millions of wellies and boots our family of 6 has.

Anyway I thought that a couple of wooden boot racks with long poles where they hang upside down would help to keep them tidy. I am rather troubled at the moment by the thought of spiders and slugs living in the boots. I read somewhere that these keep bugs out. I can't see how that would work really so wondered if you had any experience?

It would be tidier but ime it doesn't keep spiders out.Sorry!

I always tip upside down then feel inside (nasty experience of dead mouse in wellie Grin ).

(Note:the rack would keep a dead mouse out.....)

Thanks. Wishful thinking on my part! They would already be hung upside down but obviously that won't be an obstacle for a spider. Will have to think again.

Love wellie racks as so tidy:) always tap welly and shake before putting on, nasty experience of wiggly beetle.. Unless you stuff the big socks in the top, should keep bugs out. Or warm...

Nope and mice like them as well. Grin
