I have found that "Mock Orange" works very well for deterring Spiders, it is kind of like a lilac bush and the flower grow into a ball shape. You can get this ball shaped cluster of tiny flowers and put it in an old stocking or just throw it under furniture or hang in the stocking, the older the flowers become the more the spiders hate it and it has a pretty pleasant smell, unlike mothballs. Mothballs can be very toxic! If it is just you and no pets or children it could be fine, but why not use nice smelling flowers. You could also use natural oils, not sure of the combination, but something to do with lavender and/or peppermint oils
