Peppermint Oil - Spider Repellant

[Louise5754]

Hi I need to get ready. I am absolutely terrified of them.

Does this work? Do you spray it in every corner?

Do you dilute it?

Please advise ASAP!!

Thanks

Put a few drops on cotton balls and dot them around the place.

conkers apparently;
as an aside: to work on your spider fear pull up photos of spiders and make yourself look at them. Then actively seek spiders out to look at. You'll be keeping tarantulas in no time (joke)

I mixed peppermint oil and white vinegar in a spray bottle and sprayed it around any nooks and crannies and at the base of the skirting boards and it did seem to work. We used to get loads of huge spiders in our house and we rarely see any now.

When my kids went mad collecting conkers from their Nan’s garden and put them all around the place (including windowsills) the spiders stayed away for ages...maybe a year or so!
