I will, of course, do some research on this, but as some of you may remember, the family and I moved into our new house last fall. Well new to us, but built in '81. Retro 80's everything, yayyyyy.
We also have spiders in the house. Not so yayyy.
Bit 'o background...
The area I live in has a lot of birds and wildlife. Especially birds. I love birds of all kinds. We have our very own princess at home, Princess Zee (pearl cockatiel) and it is shits and giggles to watch her reaction to all of her cousins outside.
I've also noticed that there are a lot of bugs. We have a few major parks, water sources. plenty of trees and plenty of bugs. So, lots of nestlings. Love nestlings.
Spiders outside everywhere. Inevitably some of them are in the house. Quite a lot actually. All colors, shapes and sizes. I'm totally okay with our spider friends outside and get great amusement from watching one little dude come out every night and repair the web, and continually check the perimeter for bugs. The most industrious little fella.
Inside, not so much.
I don't want to spray anything inside, and horse chestnuts don't seem to do much.
Any thoughts and what I can do to discourage my little creepy friends from coming in the house?
The little house spiders are alright I suppose, but the wolf spiders and ginormous crab spider I caught this am... not so much.
