    Please explain. Your heading is spiders and your question is about coconut oil and deordizing??

    You will find that all the instructions for getting rid of spiders with essential oils require that you sweep down all the cobwebs first. Sweeping down the webs is what chases the spiders away.

    But... why remove spiders anyway? Have you no idea what good they really bring you? Spiders truly are amazing creatures and I mean this seriously.

    I wouldn't waste essential oils on spiders. When you do regular housekeeping and get cobwebs down, then that cuts the spider population down too.

    Adding my two cents worth, as I don't mind the spiders on the outside of the house, but really don't like them sharing my pillow... or my shower... or eating my sandwich when I get up to get some iced tea to go with it...

    I can't use coconut oil around my house (two family members are allergic), but found this site to be very helpful for other thoughts: Natural Spider Repellent | Seventh Generation

    @tigger, thanks, that's a good site. Would like to point out too that spiders like crawling in warm laundry baskets. I have been bitten by a spider a few times, after putting my PJs on. The bite lasts for days and is very itchy and uncomfortable.

    I really like the link you posted as those essentials oils lend a lovely scent to surroundings.

    As long as you sweep the webs down, whatever gives you peace of mind is what you should use.
