I don't know from experience if peppermint oil repels spiders , but it seems to me to be a worth a try. It would be a much calmer way of dealing with what must be very upsetting to archnophobes.

My mom had put cat litter in little bowls all over the basement because she heard that it took most of the humidity away. I don't know if it's just a coincidence but since then we have seen zero spiders in the basement.

Just had to deal with a spider on the floor where I sleep! A normal person would not of spotted it but me I can spot them even in the dark! Tried to get it with a Swiffer mop but when I came back after thinking I got it I checked with a flashlight and saw two legs coming out so I sprayed Windex (the cheap brand from a dollar store) three times, I am not brave like mom who after doing that gets them with a tissue but if that thing gets out of there and survives then it'll get it's revenge after mutating for sure on me since I'm still sleeping on that floor at least until the end of next month!

And another spider! This one was bigger than a baby (would not call it huge but it was indeed big) and fast too! It freaked out when I opened the light of the biggest room downstairs, it was on the wall near the oil stove, I hurried up and got a Swiffer mop!  !

Two more spiders!
The first was in the ceiling of the bathroom last night when I was doing my night beauty routine and it was right above my head, had to put something on then get the Swiffer mop in the kitchen!
The last was this morning when I went to do the air bed I saw a baby near the electric heater!
