There are several natural things which you can use as spider repellant. Many involve using essential oils which you would mix with water and place in a spray bottle. Some of the oils which Spiders find repellant are eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon, and tea tree.

Well, I've seen a few home remedies for this. I'm not sure how effective they are, I'm looking for the answer myself at the moment. A large collection suggests chestnut or chestnut oil at the location of entry (go figure). Lemon oil mixed in with water as a spray and in cleaning supplies is also recommended. Personal observation states that a colder house will have less spiders (recently tested and proven) and that less clutter around the house forces them into the open for extermination.
A spider-based deodorant is currently in the final stages of development by an Australian company called Miss Meniscus.

It is called Bascule, and is being hailed as a breakthrough in the science of personal hygiene. It is based on venom extracted from genetically-modified Sydney funnel-web spiders. It works on the sweat glands by a neuro-suppressing process.

Test subjects are not generally named publically, but it is known that a famous singer has been using this deodorant for over a year without ill effect.

It's hard to deter spiders because they are not self cleaning so most poisons won't kill them unless they have direct contact with their mouth, we have a lot of spiders recently in our house and terminix told me this so hope you find something

There really is none. Pesticides have not been proven to control spiders. Sure some have been labeled to control spiders, but it's still not effective. Spiders should not be killed because they are important to the ecosystem. Without spiders the whole world would be plagued with insects. If you see a spider in a home just take it outside. Spiders are only attracted to insects in your home.

Cedar oil is a natural snake repellent. You use a pressure spray to apply the cedar oil. You should soak the ground where you are trying to keep the snakes away from.

Cedar oil is a good natural spider repellent. Simply spray in on the area of concern and the spiders will leave.

How do you do use carbolic acid as snake repellent?

No.Experiments done with carbolic acid has prooved it wrong.So we are yet to find a strong snake repellent.But for any practical purposes precaution meantime seems to be a better option.House cleanliness,rodent hole destruction,banning snake hiding place (like bushes,unneccessary heapings etc etc) would in great extent reduce snakes gaining access to our houses.


How do you draw out a snake from hiding?

I would suggest luring it out of the hole using live prey. The small rodent should be in a closed area where it can't get out but the snake can get in. Like a crab trap. Another way is by force. I strongly recommend against it. ( I have a big portion of my heart for animals. ) Use a tool and try to loop it around the neck. However if it is an emergency call an expert on reptiles, poison control or the ASPCA. Hope it helps =)!!!
