Moth balls keep spiders away. Living in a mobile home, we unload a bunch of
moth balls under our homes to keep mice and spiders out and it works well.
Between the drier sheets up high and moth balls under the house, I really
don't have much problem with critters of any kind other than the occasional
neighborhood outdoor cat laying under my house for heat in winter, shade in
summer and shelter in rain. I don't mind them.
