It's like these essential oil diffusers some people use.
You've got to know what you're doing with them, as some oils are toxic to cats and dogs, let alone pet birds.
There's a list here if anyone is interested:

Wow, thanks for that. Had no idea about essential oil dangers. I use them a lot.

Good job I don't mind spiders - at least they don't make a noise.

Re: Arachnophobia
Just collected the box of 2 repellents from the PO, and was astonished at how small the packet was inside the envelope! They are almost the size of a plug in battery charger...weeny! Was reading the leaflet while I waited for the bus home. I will test it out with Holly here to see if either of us can tolerate it. If we can't then I will send the items back.I will do another search of my cupboards and boxes, to see where I put the bottle of spider repellent spray. I was sure I'd left it out, having seen it only recently, but obvs I didn't.

I screamed for my husband to come to the rescue but he's scared of spiders LOL. Anyway, my husband is my hero, he caught the spider in a big glass and between us we got the monster outside, I opened the upstairs window and he threw it out.
Some people would have killed it, I feel so happy the spider lived to see another day. Soft aren't I.
My husband seems quite pleased with himself that he didn't kill it, probably because he knows had I not been around he would have been a murderer
Do you have any spider stories to tell and are you afraid of them or not.
One large one in particular lives in a little hole next to our hearth. The only worry I have is that if it appears in an inappropriate moment, one of our cats will get it.

Re: Arachnophobia
I'm terrified of Spiders. I don't know what it is, but my heart misses a beat if I see one, but I always have my two spider catchers handy for HWMO to catch them and put them outside in the garden. If they are in the bath however, once my heartbeat is back to normal, I always put a sheet of toilet paper over the edge and down onto the bath floor so the spider can climb out at it's leisure because I don't like to think of any creature trapped by a shiny surface where they cannot get out. (I'll worry where it scurries off to another time).03-09-2019, 08:03 PM
