Since we both hate spiders we either vacuum them up or get the dogs to eat them (don't worry, spiders up here aren't deadly).Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703630449276209732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964124459326964147.post-76352242818654556232010-09-29T15:01:52.084-04:002010-09-29T15:01:52.084-04:00When we first moved into our basement bedroom I wa...When we first moved into our basement bedroom I was finding quarter sized spiders in my shower daily. As much as I hate pesticide, the only thing that worked was to do a perimeter spray of this 9 month spider repellent - you can get it at any hardware store. After that I didn't even find very many dead ones, they just stayed away. Have Tommy do a perimeter spray (because you're preggers) around the doors and windows and corners and light switches - any tiny openings. <br />Also, mix a spray bottle of water and about a teaspoon of tea tree oil and then strip your bed and mist your mattress, let dry, add sheets, mist again, let dry, etc. They hate the smell of tea tree oil and it's antibacterial. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like the scent either, but I told him tea tree or me plus the scent dissipates. That helps too. <br />I think part of my arachnophobia stems from how when I get bitten, they become giant welts and it takes days for them to go away.<br /><br />and thanks for the love the other day, I really needed it. If only I could sit and have tea with you.serahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182268757502634911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964124459326964147.post-85377824600059016612010-09-29T13:43:51.410-04:002010-09-29T13:43:51.410-04:00I would not be able to handle that! lol

I rented a cabin for a while that wasn't put together right and could see daylight between the logs! No wonder the place was full of spiders!<br /><br />Check the threshold at your door. Usually you can raise or lower the metal piece. If you can slip a piece of paper in, you need to raise it.Lorinoreply@blogger.com
