Marydean ... will def keep everyone posted with results
We were having terrible trouble in our house years ago with huntsman spiders.
My DH bought a plug in pest control unit & it is fantastic. You just plug it into a wall socket & they supposedly emit an ultrasonic signal that deters them. We have had it for years so I can't tell you if ours is specifically for spiders or if they are for general pest use. We don't seem to get any other creepy crawlies though.
Ours is called Pest Contro Electro-Magnetic. Like I said we have had it for years & have not have one spider, not even a daddy long legs, ever since we plugged it in.
We also have pets & they don't seem to be affected by the high frequency sound.
GL with whatever you do, I can't stand spiders!!
do u have geckoes? reason I ask is, we have geckoes and they love eating the spiders. I had a massive huntsman crawl up the wall and within seconds it was gone, the gecko snapped it up and spat the legs out and sat there smacking it's lips for ages after it's tasty meal *blerk*.
