to knowledgeable people: will it help to put moth balls around the outside of the house and along the inside garage walls to prevent ugly disgusting spiders to come in the house. So scary yucky legs and body I do not want them for halloween.  
I do not have any plants or garden they are not invented at all.

Apparently spiders don't like the smell/taste (they taste through there legs) of mint. Go grab some mint plants and grow them everywhere (even inside), get some mint essential oil and mix it with water in a spray bottle and spray all over the baseboards, doors, etc. they also don't like lemon, so do the same thing and soak your house in lemon juice. I don't know about moth balls though....

Mint seems to work. My upper balcony always had lots if spiders, so many that it freaked me out in the dark (serious arachnophobe too). This year I grew pots of mint for my summer mojitos, and as a side effect I have not seen a single spider on that deck this year. Next year, I plan on growing more all around the house.  
 
Mojitos parties are planned for every week-end  
 
I also hear that if your put white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray your foundation every week or two that you can repel them that way.
