Just grab a newspaper and give em a wack! Or suck em up with a vaccuum. These bug repellants only make spiders stronger, in a thousand years, spiders will have evolved into super spiders and thus take over the human race as the dominant species of the planet.

*Sigh* That picture has been proved to be a fake. Yes, fellahs that is a hoax. Most people actually survive brown recluse bitings, and they never look like that. I know this because I've done lots of research on spiders because I'm allergic to them.

Apparently, Syringer isn't much of a spider repellant, but I'm willing to bet he's a pretty decent chick repellant.

I think you are wrong on this, knowing someone personally that has been bit.

Anandtech, make up your mind with this google images search "brown recluse bite"

If you have a small pet, you might not want to use these, I know most rodents (hamsters, rats, gerbils, etc) MAY be affected by this, and not in a good way.

I'm not sure about birds, but I love my cockatiel too much to chance it . . .
