How do I keep spiders out of certain areas of my house, I do not want to kill them as they do eat some of the bad bugs?

I am not a big fan of brown recluses or black widows so if there is a way to kill them without killing nonpoisonous beneficial spiders please tell me.

Osage oranges (a green bumpy fruit, not a real "orange") can repel spiders without poisoning them. place them in areas where you don't want spiders to be. You might be able to buy them at your local farmers' market.

The best way to do it is kill them as you seem them and leave the good spiders alone, there are not any bug sprays that are that specific
