Do you have spiders in your Home? Ugh.. When we moved into our new apt, I was excited beautiful white walls, Nice Kitchen beige new carpet and the Apt. is so bright with day light. Awesome! Then the SHOCK of seeing BLACK FAT SPIDERS on my pretty white walls. At first I thought ok One spider ..dont freak out, but then I found them in every room and the bathrooms. Got BIT the first night here. GRRrr..so I looked online and here is what I found: SPIDERS HATE CITRUS !! I used Lemon Pinesol, moped all the floors with it, then mixed 3/4 pur LEMON PINE SOL with 1/4 WAter in a spray bottle . I sprayed around every window frame inside and out. around the door frames closets bathrooms every tiny crack where those little creepy pests hide. and the next day I seen one spider and killed it. since then NOT ONE SPIDER IN THE HOUSE :-)) we are surrounded by trees so I spray every 2 weeks and it keeps the spiders away! Give it a try :-)

Thank you for this information. I was using Irish Spring soap. I was grating it with my grater and then sprinkling the shavings around the outside walls of my house. It seemed to cut down on a lot of the bugs. I guess they don't like the peppermint smell in the soap.

You are welcome :-) Irish spring huh? It's amazing how simple things like that seem to work and it beats all those nasty smelling bug sprays.
