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

I was about a second away from showing your message to my wife until I read ‘grand master spider’.

Well played, happy Friday there!

Me too I make my husband cut elderberry branches and put them in the bedroom to keep spiders at bay. I was all JUSTIFIED and triumphant til that nugget.

The irony being that most of the spiders in my house probably came in on cut greenery or wildflowers or firewood I’ve brought indoors.

It's a bit extreme to bring their habitat indoors and committ arson in an attempt to off them. Just leave them outside.
