I know the seals in the doors and windows are terrible because in the winter I can feel the cold air pouring in.  We get a ton of spiders and earwigs and we are super-clean. I think the earwigs breed under our deck which is next to our slider that connects to our kitchen.  Not sure if spiders are attracted to this? Every weekend me and my husband spend the whole weekend scrubbing floors, cleaning windows, etc.  I'm going to try the lemon/orange oil idea around the seals of the doors and windows and hopefully this will help deter them.  In New England we luckily don't have too many poisonous spiders, but I don't care how big or small they are.  I don't like anything that's got that many legs or eyes...

I have children and I feel like the spiders are invading!! Our local hospital does NOT carry anti venom, the nearest hospital that does is over an hour away as we live in a rural part of the inland pacific northwest.  I am concerned for the safety of my family, one even dropped on to me the other night while I was laying in bed. There are no pest control companies where we live and paying one far away to come would cost more than we can afford. What do I do?!?

It smells amazing and is poisonous to ingest. But you could make an herb pouch with mint, pennyroyal, eucalyptus leaves, lavender, dry orange peel and maybe some sage and put it in beds, under beds behind bookshelves, in closets and other places in the home to keep spiders away. pennyroyal grows around springs where i live..
