Just remember that the spiders are feeding on the insects. No spiders equal more mosquitoes 🦟

He uses peppermint oil, and it seems to work pretty well. He dabs soaked cotton balls around the compalionway, hatches, and portholes, and I believe docklines.

We have gobs of them here on the lakes. Practical Sailor just had some discussion on using this for Cockroaches, and I see now, silverfish and water bugs – but I see no mention of spiders. I am trying to get away from spider spray, for obvious reasons, and this looks like a much more friendly alternative, but if it won’t work, well then . . . I guess back to the drawing board.
