I collected some conkers earlier and now have the corners covered in the lounge and my bedroom.Fingers crossed it works.
Does it matter if the conkers are on the floor ,or higher up?

Don't know Jane in saying that have remembered that this tip also came from security engineers who inserted them in room sensors to deter small spiders weaving webs over sensors! I just have one in a corner of each room and that has worked - OH in charge of hoovering now did forget and sucked a couple up but he knows now to watch out!

OH always used to say they do you no harm, they can't bite you and then....................watching a nature programme
and they said that certain species of british spiders can bite. I knew that and they are always the ones that come after me.
