Spiders are not welcome in my bed

Spiders are not welcome in my bed

I woke up in the middle of the night because a spider was feasting on me. Being totally awake I had to get out of bed and do something about this elusive, uninvited, and unwanted creature. After some research I found out that spiders do not like peppermint. I sprayed the inside covers of my bed with peppermint oil, got in, and hoped for the best, although prepared for the worst. I don’t know where it went but it didn’t come back that night, or any other night. So – highly recommended – peppermint oil to get rid of spiders!
