Friends, who live in the city and share a balcony with a neighboring apartment, put chestnuts under the sliding door to their balcony. They have had no spiders while their neighbors continued to be infested. I've read a couple of newspaper articles about the use of chestnuts to repel spiders, too.

After having a bunch of spiders around one year I did call an exterminator since our renter was getting large spiders. After careful inspection we discussed the spiders living in the house including some brown recluse which can be deadly.

Eucalyptus, hedge apples and maybe even chestnuts might repel different types of spiders. You might consider a potpourri with one of these ingredients to scent the room.
