Spiders - HELP!!!!

[simac]

We've got two cats, when they see the huge spiders they run a mile

Also alternative recommendations I'd be interested in such as the spray you can buy, if anyone has tried hypnotherapy etc.

We have already had conkers/chestnuts around the house for the past few years.
We hoover almost daily in every room(twice a day sometimes) and have tried to block or seal any gaps within the rooms too.

My missus is scared of them too, I bought her some spider stop from Betterware. Although she still gets the odd one in so its not great. I think it has conker essence in it or something.
She has a wooded area at the back of her garden so she gets some bigguns!

Hoovering might be making it worse, I don't think they like dusty areas as it sticks to them and makes it harder for them to get around. (Thats my excuse anyway, and i'm sticking to it!)

As I'm told we can not have a cat or dog I've been trying to train the pet tortoise to attack a spider on sight but obviously its too slow and is too big to sneak up on them.

I went for plan B and went to Woolies and purchased a JML Pest it electronic gizmo. Also nipped to the local cemetery to get a fresh stash of conkers.

Let's see how it goes cause Plan C is for the missus to move in to an igloo

Simple answer.....

Hairspray!

I have one simple rule for spiders, 'outside you live, inside you die!' I spray the house once with Raid (lasts for about three months) and the little creepies just die as soon as they enter the house.

Desperate for some recommendations on how to cease or limit the amount of spiders you get in the house.

Basically the Mrs is terrified of them (to be honest I've also got a bit of a fear of them). She is so bad though that she cries, threatens to leave and never come back and tonight even had a massive nose bleed cause of one rather large specimen we had in the spare bedroom.

We have an ultrasonic device plugged in near the kitchen/hallway but I don't think it's any good.

I'm wondering if any one else has ever bought one of the new version of these things and how effective it was?

Any advice could be a big help!!!!

I was thought that spiders prefer clean places.....

I tried that.......must have given the little (well, ferkin huge) blighter about half a can of raid and it just stuck its fingers up at me and walked off I watched it for a few minutes to see if it would keel over but it just carried on walking (or running) until I introduced it to my good friend the Yellow Pages..

Best thing about that product?

"We know that you may be apprehensive about using the Spider Catcher that’s why we provide you with a practice plastic spider"

They do work well, I was given one for free, not sure what happened to my plastic spider though... think he may have been spidernapped by some real ones..
