Natural spider repellant

[Calliope]

Anyone know of one? :scratch Garden Spiders keep appearing in our nursery and I'm not happy about it.

I can't think of any. Are they actual garden spiders? The big colorful ones? If so your best bet might be to remove them- I can tell you how to do it w/o hurting the spider or touching them.

I do know they won't cross water & how to set up a place for them to spin webs and not escape that way, but it wouldn't work the other way b/c they can cross water using drag lines if they have something to hang on..... :think

:doh Hmmm...they might not be Garden Spiders. IDK. They're clearish yellow green and about the size of a nickel.

I was hoping for some sort of aromatherapy repellant. I usually don't kill spiders. I appreciate what they do, so I like to catch and release, but I admit, I've gotten pretty brutal because these ones are too close to my kiddo for comfort. :shifty
