How to Create Affective Spider Repellent

They are creapy, crawly and give most of us the chills! We find them in those Unexpected and undesired places in our homes. Around the cars. In the Attic. On the Boat even!
So how do we help them decide that where we are, is NOT where they want them to be?

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• plastic spray bottle - garden type
• large canning Jar (glass or plastic with lid)
• old blender
• spiders (fresh and dead)
• Water
• Pantyhose
• Funnel

1. Capture spiders or kill and place in a jar. Get as many as possible from your immediate area as those are the ones you want to repel. 15+ is a good number.

2. Add warm water to the jar so that you have at least 3 cups of water covering.
   Cover and swish lightly.

3. Now the tough part.
   Pour spiders and liquid into the blender.
   Puree on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute

4. Place panty hose (or long cut off toe section) ovee the top of the blender after removing the lid.

5. Place funnel into mouth of spray bottle and slowly pour the blender contents in. This will leave remains in the stocking and allow all liquid to pass to the spray bottle.

6. Discard stocking and place sprayer onto the spray bottle.

7. Mist along all windows, doors, attic vents, porch under roofing, attic spaces, boat spaces -- anywhere you want the spiders to find new places to live.
   
   Normally within a week you'll be virtually if not fully spider free.

Tips & Warnings

• Yes the blender does wash clean!
• Nope, I don't know why it works - just that it always has
• it's safe around children, pets etc as this is a 100% organic, all natural product. 100% pure spider.
• I'd not recommend drinking any unused water -- if you have some -- continue misting all areas where you don't want spiders.
• I would not spray your garden as they DO control other pests.

on 11/28/2009 I have a stray cat infestation problem - will this method work for cats as well?

on 9/21/2009 The chemical break down left over from the dead spiders put out a scent, a warning of death to other spiders.

I've also used the below recipe and have found it to work extremely well:

You will need, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1/4 cup of dawn liquid soap, 1 tsp of vanilla extract (real). Mix oil soap and extract in a container. Now in a spray bottle put 1 table spoon of the mixture for every 1 cup of water. shake and spray your spiders away.

on 6/26/2009 Sorry but you have to be crazy LOL - because usually, when people want to blend their victims... and then spray the results... well you know what I'm getting at!

What about clove oil, chestnuts/conkers, and other repellents? None of which are remotely Lector-esque either!
