How Do You Stop a Spider Biting?

I am not a fan. I use the glass, and put out side method

How Do You Stop a Spider Biting?

Perhaps use oil, the smell they hate,

They might run for the hills before it’s too late.

A dab of peppermint, sharp and strong,

Could send them scurrying before too long.

Or even buy that buzzing thing,

You plug it in, and spiders’ ears it stings.

Its high-pitched sound they can’t abide,

Might keep them from your walls inside.

If sharing your space is not your way,

There’s no place for them to stay.

Just guide them out or block their track.

Then wish them well, and don’t look back.

    Not really a spider person, but good work on a way to rid them away.
