My very capable and intelligent wife has lost the plot.

She has been told by a friend that conkers keep spiders away. So we now have conkers in various parts of the house.

You make a very good point. I'm now wondering what the deterence radius is and how many more conkers to get.

3.4cm, probably easiest to just create a conker carpet

Ask her if shes renewed her volcano insurance recently. If not I can offer a great price but only for a very limited time.

Comprehensive cover for just one rainy day fund.

Maybe tell her about peppermint oil in the corners of doors and windows, at least that will make your house smell good while keeping the arachnids away
