I'm only joking. I can't hurt a spider myself, but I really am afraid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don"t bother now and the spiders are back, not that it bothers me.. Don"t these spider repellents have some sort of Horse Chestnut ingredient in them. Agree about the conkers. I've read they give off some gas that spiders don't like but at the end of the day, like them or not, imagine a world without spiders? Flies everywhere.

Seem to go to a lot of trouble to disprove an old wives tale. thanks anyway. Promoting rational thought and helping to break the perpetuation of nonsense is always a worthwhile cause 😄 All too often people conflate coincidence with correlation. 13 hours ago, Baron99 said: Agree about the conkers.

Conkers don't give off a gas that repels spiders (at least, not in their regular form, it may be possible that such a gas is given off when they are in a state of decomposition, but unlikely).
