[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 664454, member: 1963"] Lavender would probably be my best bet as the natural oil is non-toxic to cats and I can actually tolerate the smell of it (like it, actually) I'll have to give that a try. So far, I am seeing them all over the place, including in my bedding, which is way out of line on the spiders' part, even for me, who is relatively spider-tolerant. There is currently another rather substantial wolf-spider wandering around on the wall above my kitchen sink. It is large enough that I can see it from my dining area which is about 12 feet away. Lavender oil is probably my best bet as it is non-toxic to cats in it's natural form (comparatively) and not a strong repellent. Citrus and citronella are repellents. Ti-tree oil is toxic, and most other essential oils are, at best, potent irritants. [/QUOTE]
