A natural way of repelling spiders out of your home is to place eucalyptus leaves in closets or any dark areas of your home. Remove all cardboard boxes from your home. Spiders love them. Place osage/ hedge apples around the perimeter of your home. You can hide them in your landscaping. The scent repells spiders. Also you can plant citronella plants around outdoor lounging areas to repell mosquitos. All else fails, get a cat. We have 2 cats and have not had any bug/ spider issues.

that is a lot of scorpians indeed. tell them the 80's are over and you are not into a reunion tour...though it would be nice.

We had a nice presumably dead opossum laying in the middle of Willow Way (OH sub) this AM. Sure hope it wakes up and moves before the kids come home from school. We do not need another reason for the kids to be in the streets at that time of day.
It wasn't playing possum. It was really dead.

I had a dead rabbit laying in my street that apparently someone ran over.  The next morning, I opened my front door and found the dead rabbit that was in the street was now laying on my welcome mat.   Apparently some animal had pulled it up to my front door and was having a feast overnight.  Does anyone know what kind of an animal is the most likely culprit?  Maybe Coyotes or Possums?  I am lucky my wife did not see it.

Most likely, your local neighborhood kitty.  The last thing a coyote would do is drag it to the front door.

Most likely a ferrel cat. Had one in my previous neighborhood in Allen. Killed a wabbit across the street, then dragged it to my side yard. Blood trail all the way. Only thing I found were two legs. Ah, Mother Nature.
