If you're like me then you can't stand spiders. Here is a recipe I have actually tried using eucalyptus oil. Simply add 5 drops of the oil (the website suggests other oils as well) into a spray bottle along with some dish soap (I think I used a few squirts), a dash of vinegar (they say optional and I used it) and warm water. Voila! You have your spray. Spray where the spiders are (test areas if you don't want staining as some stains can occur). I sprayed around our doorway. I can't stand letting the dogs outside and walking into a spider's path. Before starting you may want to remove all of the webs and sacks with a broom or something. This will enable you to see if the spray is working. No webs or spiders, it is. If it isn't, the mixture may be off. You will need to spray every week as it only lasts that long and then they are back. Below is the recipe I used and I hope it works as well for you as it did for me! ~ Rabbit
