How about you crawl through your own upstairs window and exit the
planet ?

Insecticide? Spiders isn't insects.

I can sympathise with arachnophobia (although I don't understand it),
but killing spiders is a definite no-no. And yes, I do realise you don't
want to kill them, but the website sells just such a horrible product.
"If you want to live and thrive, let a spider run alive".

I suffer from the effects of arachnophobia in that SWMBO, MIL and two
daughters all scream and shout to various degree when they see a spider.
They are also infecting our two-year-old granddaughter, despite my
efforts to show her that spiders are wonderful and fascinating
creatures.

Spiders isn't pests either.

You can't get rid of them, I suggest taking up a hobby - lampshade making
for instance.

Pestiness is in the eye of the beholder. Doubtless some people actually
appreciate visits from Jehovah's Witnesses, for example.

Which of course begs the question as to what is the phobia of
jehovah''s witnesses ?

They last less than 5 seconds at my front door. They are very politely
told to go away quickly and they are never offended.

I do not buy at my front door, they say that we are not selling. I close
the conversation with that you are selling religion. They usually turn
and leave

Never had one there.
Does it make you respond sexually? ;-)

Had them in my hair, my clothes, on my arms and my skin that was exposed
though.

I once had a beautiful red kneed tarantula on my hand. I could have
taken it away as a pet, if I had known a bit more about them :-)

I love the little blighters. I protect them as far as I can.

Flies, on the other hand :-((((

I hate them

I'm sure I have read somehwhere, maybe even on this group, that Horse
Chestnuts will deter spiders. Don't know if it is true as I've never
tried it.

A common spam tactic is to pose a question no-one cares about, and
follow it with links to their own site.

Your post seemed to follow that format, hence the suspicion.

I might have worded my suspicions a bit strongly ...

Just go and find a spider and pick it up

You could put a small cloth over the spider, gently, and pick it up that
way.

Snap. I was a kid at the time and my mum wouldn't let me buy it :-(

Add cats, ants, slugs and wheel clampers to this list. ;-)

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.
