I read somewhere that this is a natural spider repellant; 5 to 7 drops of peppermint or lavender oil in a spray bottle and top up with warm water & a splash of dish soap and spray on your door ways & window ledges. I wonder if the weather has something to do with them wanting to come indoors. <br />Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-36545467306093849812015-07-29T15:10:36.001-04:002015-07-29T15:10:36.001-04:00I really like the butterfly shot, with one flower ...I really like the butterfly shot, with one flower in focus and the other fuzzy.
