Thanks for that tip, Polly. I'll try it on my porch garden. Any time I try
to plant something out there.....there's a squirrel in a nearby tree that
sees me doing it. Once I go inside, he runs over and digs up most of what
I've planted.

I'll try the coffee grounds. If that doesn't work, it will be fried squirrel
in gravy with mashed potatoes for a few meals.

No deer here. The county does have 8,500 alligators (at last count). The guy
who counts them didn't come back last time. Polly

Fish heads and other garbage make good fertilizer and might even be
good for keeping people away, but it seems to me those things would
attract more animals than they'd scare away. Try this... it's not the
only web site that sells this kind of stuff, but you'll get the main
idea. http://www.predatorpee.com/

I usually leave spiders alone, unless I find a black widow (YES! ...we
DO have black widows at 8,000ft!). But, it seems we are rural enough
that there scads of very small whitish spiders lurking everywhere in
our home and I occassionally find myself spider bit after an otherwise
uneventful sleep. Minor, usually no worse that a mosquito bite, but
it ****es me off, not to mention creeps me out, knowing a spider
strolled across my person and decided to bite me for no apparent
reason than it could. What's up with that? They jes being onery
("hah! ...take that, you large hairy only-two-legged thing!)? So
anyway, I'm gonna try yer peppermint oil trick. If it doesn't work,
what else is peppermint oil good for?

I'd like to try this, too. I have no problem with spiders if they stay
outside. They're beneficial creatures. I just don't want them
*inside*. Last year, or maybe the year before, there was a large (about
3/4") black spider lurking in the corner on the kitchen floor. (Just a
garden spider.) I tried to scoop it up on a piece of cardboard to put
it outside. Swarms, nay, *hoards*! of baby spiders crawled off its
back! OMG! I thought to myself, "There will be hundreds of them IN THE
HOUSE!" So, somewhat unwillingly, I got out the bug spray. I'd really
rather just discourage them from coming inside in the first place.

I'd have to order peppermint oil online. I found this site:

http://www.pipingrock.com/peppermint...4aOgod8nk AZQ

or

http://tinyurl.com/c9hpj2r

Guess I can handle $2.35 with free shipping even if it doesn't work.
And no, I can't think of another use for it.

If you put a jar over the spider and then slide a piece of paper under it,
you can take it outside and probably, all the wee spiders on its back would
have gone out with hit. I don't mind spiders in the house, but I might if
it were huge or swarms of wee ones crawled off its back ...

I wouldn't have had an empty glass jar even if I'd thought about one. I
don't do any canning. Empty glass jars are rare in this house.

I had no idea there were wee ones all over its back until I tried to
move it. Then they came running down.... eeeek!

I got an Ultrasonic pest repeller at Wal-Mart online a few years ago. A
friend recommended it. I was skeptical because I had read that they didn't
really work. But this one does! We used to be spider central here. Not
only was the outside of our house surrounded by them but at any given time,
there would be at least one in the house. Usually more. I felt like all I
was doing was trying to hunt them down! My brother even bought me a battery
operated device to suck them up and I bought a tennis racket looking zapper
that kills them when they come in contact with the wires.

Since installing the Ultrasonic unit, we get precious few spiders in the
house. We have had a couple of them recently and I saw one in the garage.
But for probably 9 months out of the year there are none at all.

We did have them so very badly once that Terminex noticed and sprayed for
them outside of our house. There were webs everywhere. Even on my van! I
don't know what attracts them to our house.

I didn't used to mind them. But after being bitten by a brown recluse, I am
very cautious now. The bite turned into something that looked like it was
out of a horror movie and I still have the scar on my arm. It's about the
size of a dime and there is a depression in the skin there. The skin that
remains is slightly bumpy looking. But that's better than it was. The skin
pretty much was eaten away by the poison and was insanely itchy. Hopefully
never again! Those spiders aren't even common in this area. The only thing
I can think of is that it came in a box of something where I worked. We did
get a scorpion that way once.

Ah yes, the brown recluse! I was at my doctor's office years ago when I
lived in Memphis. There was a guy at the intake desk with a large
supperating wound on his calf. He said he'd been bitten by a brown
recluse. They are indeed nasty creatures. Fortunately they aren't
common this far south.

I have seen some really cool *outside* spiders. Agriope (aka "writing
spider"). I had two of them out back, webs flanking the windows on
either side of the patio. They didn't bother me. They were very
pretty. And they weren't in the house.

Well, once the wee spiders were running all over my kitchen floor I
