Hi there! I have spiders in all my upstairs windows. I've tried cedar spray, cedar chips, vacuuming the windows out and even spider spray. They always come back within weeks. Does anyone know how to get rid of them for good? I can't open my windows and get some fresh air because I'm afraid of getting them in the house! I'm terrified of spiders! Thanks so much!!

Mothballs or flakes will keep spiders at bay, and also flies, mice, fleas, beetles. My vet told me to use them on the carpet when my cat had fleas so I thought "Why not try it for other things"...sure enough I have been bug free. I use the flakes in my garage and garbage cans, and so I am able to open my windows, I put one mothball in between the windows, also before doing that I purchase a product called "Bug Stop" at Walmart that keeps bugs and spiders away for months, it's great. I've been doing this for about 4 years now and do not have problems with spiders or any other bugs.

if you hang wren houses near the windows they eat them...then you can watch the lil birds nest too...turpentine or citronella oil whiped in the window sills and edges will help but needs to be repeated every so often..t

I heard a saying years ago, when I first became a bride and 27 years later, I still live by the saying.
" If you have spiders in a window sill, you won't have bugs in your house ". It's true!

Spray the area with a mixture of bleach and water, that will probably kill all the spiders.
