My daughter and son in law have Horse Chestnuts in most rooms of their house
for the same reason ............................... and it works.

See, we have horse chestnuts all over the house, but it's nothing to do with
the spiders and all to do with the small children. Unfortunaetly it doesn't
seem to deter them.


That's delightfully wicked, Vicky! :~} Perhaps you're not throwing them
hard enough!
