What kind of bay leaves am I suppose to use to repel spiders?

Question

I used all natural dried bay leaves and broke them up and put them around, but I came across a daddy long leg spider so I placed one right near it and it did not do anything >.>

Answer 1

I normally just used dried bay leaves, but I don't break them up at all.  I change them out every three months, so I put them in the back of the pantry, but somewhere I can reach easy.  I have not heard that they completely get rid of spiders, but I also bug spray the floor to make sure I have no problems!
