I hate to be a negative-Bertha; but this is just not true! Spiders are not like cockroaches where you spray for prevention and to kill - it will kill a spider and it's eggs if you sprayed directly on them, but to spray for prevention... freshly sprayed surface may cause a spider to go the other way, but as soon as its dried it will have a zero effect...
The reason I know this, aside from googling my life away after consistently finding these giant wolf spiders in my family room plus a brown widow behind a painting frame, is that I spoke to three different exterminators and got: "oops,sorry - doesn't work that way with spiders, but don't worry; wolf spiders or widows are not aggressive, so you're fine!".
Again, sorry for the counter-comment, but I don't want anyone get too comfortable for spraying and then end up shocked and screaming (like my husband: "Honeeeeey; SPIDER!!! Come take it out!!!" Yeah, I don't really kill them, just pick them by the back leg and flick them out... but would prefer them not to come in at all!)!!
Cheers!
Is this black pepper or white pepper or Cayenne pepper?
Osage Orange is the same tree as what we in Kansas call Hedge trees. The beautiful green balls that grow on the trees look like green apples but have a weird bumpy surface. Lucky for me we have them in our yard. I have seen them for sale on eBay, believe or not.

This is muy perfecto. My apt complex has a bad spider problem. We found and trapped a huge spider (like the one in your picture) in our room that had been biting us for months. Thankfuly it didn't bite my son before we caught it!
I second the motion on changing the picture! As a certifiable arachnophobic, I TOTALLY could use spider repellent, but I actually had to psych myself out to get to this page because I couldn't look at the picture. I actually had my eyes closed for a bit (Hey, I TOLD you I'm arachnophobic!!)
I'm def gonna try this one! does anyone know anything else about this osage orange? What about if you just keep the wood in your house? Would it have the same repellent effect like cedar does?... maybe I should do some online searching too!
Osage orange does work. The park that was by my old house has an osage tree and we would always grab some.... and wouldn't you know it... we move out to the country and no osage to be found..... spiders everywhere!!! lol
