    Speaking of, is there something natural that I could spray or put out to deter spiders from setting up shop in my place? I dont want to kill them or anything, and also know they are usually helpful in eating mosquitos and such but there are certain places in my apartment I want them to stay the fuck away from forever, like my bedroom.

      Lavender oil, (and a little tea tree if ur feeling fancy) drop some oil in a spray bottle with water. I love the shit so I dump the oil in there but a table spoon will do. Also useful for ticks on hikes around your ankles. Note some species dgaf.

      Remove the food source and the spiders will go. They frequent certain places because the hunting is good.
