Walnut oil.

None. Spiders are not affected by aromas.

Control of spiders is best achieved with an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that includes multiple tactics for prevention, exclusion, and population reduction. Since the type of spider will determine the necessary control actions, start by identifying the spider involved.

Spiders are not generally harmful. Tolerance for spiders and simple capture and removal are recommended whenever possible. However, dangerous spiders such as the black widow and brown recluse, both very rare in the upper Midwest, require immediate attention and control.

Eradication of all spiders from a home is difficult and unnecessary. Properties located in areas favorable to spiders, such as by rivers, lakes, or fields, are more likely to have large numbers of spiders. Spiders also will be more numerous in areas with a large supply of insects that serve as a food source for spiders.

Each situation is unique, but the following guidelines describe the integrated techniques that can be used to control spiders.

Indoors

Regular housecleaning is very important in the control of spiders indoors. Large, persistent spider populations indoors indicate the presence of a significant insect population that serves as their food.

• Capture and discard or remove individual spiders that have wandered inside.
• Remove papers, boxes, bags, and other clutter to minimize favorable sites for spiders.
• Remove webbing with a broom or vacuum, and destroy any egg sacs and spiders that are found. Look especially around windows, in corners, and in relatively quiet places.
• Sticky traps such as small glue boards or cockroach traps can be used to monitor for presence and abundance of spiders. In limited circumstances sticky traps also may provide some level of control. Place traps along walls, under furniture and appliances, and in other undisturbed locations.
• Eliminate insects that serve as a food supply, especially when large numbers exist. Check particularly in and under webs to see what insects have been captured.
• Osage orange fruits, also called hedgeballs or hedge apples, are sold in stores and alleged to repel spiders. They are not effective and their use is not recommended.

You can supplement your sanitation efforts with an insecticide treatment. Lightly apply insecticide to cracks, gaps, and other places where spiders may hide. General treatments on surfaces and fogs are not effective. Most insecticides labeled for ants and cockroaches are also labeled for spiders. These products are commonly found in ready-to-use aerosol and liquid formulations. CAUTION: Read all label directions carefully before buying insecticides and again before using them.

If frogs are not effective are lizards?
