spiders.... lemon??

[danniellabella]

Roughly every 3 months I put a few drops of lemon oil on my broom and sweep the ceilings, walls, window & door frames, fly screens, screen doors etc and I find that I get a huge reduction in the number of spiders inside the house. I still get a few, but not as many. Also, the house smells lovely afterwards.

Remembered this thread and it's going to come in handy, found a white tail IN DD2'S BASSINET this morning, right beside her arm, i YANKED her out so damn quick then had no choice but to spray the creepy little bugger.

Hmm do safeway sell lemon oil, i know they will have citronella... i'm on a mission!

I couldn't find lemon oil in any supermarkets. You should be able to get it from specialist candle shops.

Thanks Alan....

Well my bedroom and the kitchen, spare room, hallway & laundry smell VERY yummy right now, have put lemon oil on the broom and swept all the cornices, used some lemon oil and hot water (not much water) to wash all the windows and doors.

Have to do the dining area and lounge and i'm finished, am also going to put some lemon oil on the bottom of the vac (carpet and floorboard tools) and do the floors, I HATE SPIDERS.

I just went outside and used an entire can of fly spray on every single spider web on the windows and doors, normally i wouldn't but ewww white tails in with my baby!

Lets hope this is enough to keep them out, i'm sweating my butt off, it's like 33 here! yuck.
