No matter where I live, which house I stay in, there are always these spiders in the house. They just non-stop making spider web and makes the house look so old, unclean. I tried to trust them with broom etc. I kick them, step on them, punch them and everything else that I can do to them. But they will always be back in no time. What do you think? Is there any way to make them don't want that house?

Either purchase or make your own household cleaners, with a citrus scent. I actually learned this on mylot when I first joined because a web would appear on the computer lamp, just a day or two after I remove it, but I never saw the spider..So I asked here and some idiot said, "get rid of the spider, you'll get rid of the web" He didn't read that I already said I never saw the spider.. Anyway, long story short, I have this citrus air freshener and after removing the spider web, I sprayed the lamp and never had a spider web there since. Now, I make my own cleaners, so I buy citrus essential oil to add to the cleaner. I still occasionally still see spiders, but not I did before.

I really can't say why spiders prefer to build their webs in your house. Maybe they're catching a lot of insects. I mean, if there aren't any insects for those spiders to catch, they might spin their webs someplace else. Why not try spraying insect killers every now and then. Just a thought :)

It depends. Sometimes, I don't if it's the summer because we get a lot of flies, and the spiders help in killing those flies. On the other hand, if we don't have a lot of flies around, then the spider have got to go.

I don't have any idea on how to get rid those spiders because in our case it will just come out. Surprisingly I would seeing a big spider. Honestly I am even afraid of that. Sometimes I am spraying it with Baygon and it works that they easily die. Baygon is actually used for cockcroaches but then it is also effective for spiders.

We are facing the same problem, all efforts have failed, spider and spiderwebs are part of homes i guess so, so it is better to clean walls, corners on sundays and use fumes, sprays lol. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

I remember a friend had the same problem ! A pro told her spiders love making their web in clean houses. Well,it was a weird answer ! If we trust that guy, stop cleaning your house ! No, I'm joking ! lol I hope they will leave your home soon ! I can't stand spider either !

I am not sure what to tell you, so I looked up a little link to help you. I did know the first one, which was turn off the porch light as it does attract bugs. http://www.ehow.com/how_2384167_get-rid-spiders.html

I read about using natural colours to paint our house to repel insects. They proposed green and blue. My previous company used green paint and obviously it didn't work. Spiderwebs everywhere. My current shop using blue paint and that works well. There's something about the colour that confuse insects, making them see it as the blue sky, or something like that. But since it's work I wouldn't think much.

You can clean it up if you really don't like to see spider webs inside your house. Try to use wet towels when cleaning walls and wipe it dry. Try to spray some insect spray too so there will be less mosquito.. Those mosquito might be the one that made them hang out your place.

you know what? I'm going through the same thing, little spiders. be careful! those little black widows are known to bite people and when they do they eat inside the flesh. Some people have to have surgery. I live in a apartment I tried to use that raid spray those black and brown spiders are the sneeky ones. they can crawl in the bed. Try to use insect spray and just clear the spider webs.
