Spider invasion

Have you been subject to the much trumpeted spider invasion this season? I heard on the news that conkers keep them away. I can’t remember why exactly, but I will try anything to keep those spindly creatures away from me. So dotted around the house, in corners, on my bedside cabinet, by the doors (because of course spiders use the doors to get in!) are lots of conkers.

Now I can’t admit that to my little girl, or she will become freaked by the prospect of them.

So please can someone help me come up with a good excuse?? Natural decorations just simply won’t wash with her!
