Default Anything to get rid of spiders? Spider repellent?

I'm 6'3 yet have spider phobia :-/ can anyone recommend a good product
to get them to stay away and not get in through my windows and doors?

I've heard negative opinions for ultrasonic insect repellers, what
about the sprays?

I suggest you ask yourself what the spiders are finding to eat in your
house. We have no web spiders only the occasional hunter, and they
generally only come out at night. I think they are subsisting on the
occasional silverfish in the carpet.

Look at it this way, it is either spiders or a mountain of other creepy
crawlies that the absent spiders won't be eating.

BTW evicting them outside is cruel, a recent study showed over 90% die.
For one thing they are house specialists and for another outside all the
good spider spots are already taken so the evictee gets eaten by birds
or other spiders. After reading that I steadfastly refuse to remove
spiders unless one is trapped in bath or sink, then they get put
somewhere, like under the stairs.
