Natural Spider Repellant

For a year now I've ignored the fact that spiders love my apartment as much as I do. They seem to be of the harmless type, but there are indeed way more spiders here then any place I've lived before. I finally listened to my friend who said that I have too many spiders (and this is coming from a woman who owned a tarantula).

I'm trying out natural spider repellants that will hopefully encourage the spiders to dwell elsewhere, instead of killing these valuable critters. I put eucalyptus pods on the window sills, in corners and next to door ways. Spiders also don't like the smell of citrus, so I "borrowed" a lemon from the neighbors tree, juiced it, diluted it with water and wiped down the same areas I put the good smelling eucalyptus. I'll let you know how things turn out.

Do you have any spider deterring remedies?

Free Documentary Films

I found this site, Free Documentary Films, where I can stream 1,800 documentaries. Plus they are commercial free.

I'm seriously considering cancelling my netflix account. Why pay $8 when I can stream for free?

On Free Documentary Films, I just watched The World According to Monsanto, which talks about this multinational company who's trying to control the world by owning all of the seed.
