Re[2]: How can I keep spiders out of my house???

September 9, 2006

Check ebay, I just purchased a dozen osage oranges, AND a package of seeds to grow my own. You can also purchase a live tree ( small) from there and all at very reasonable prices. Spiders are a real problem where i live Black Widows inside and out, Wolf spiders, Brown recluse, etc. All in abundance in residential areas.

Hi Melanie & All,

Thanks for your reply. Can't find osage oranges but the cinnamon and borax are accessible. But I have an inside cat and live on a farm which has horses, chickens, dogs & outside cats. Would either the cinammon or borax be harmful to them?

I really can sympathize with the big spiders! We have had good success with keeping out smaller ones (and possibly big ones) using cinnamon around where they might be coming in and then I also have sprinkled Borax around the outside perimeter of my home. I think it’s working! I haven’t had any of the huge wolf spiders in awhile. (cross your fingers for me!)

Hugs!
