Use your Old Grapes to Kill Spiders

I do not get along with spiders. I know this is a completely irrational fear, and I know most are completely harmless. That said I'm pretty sure once I let down my guard is when they are going to attack me in my sleep, biting me repeatedly while their "harmless" venom slowly paralyzes me, rendering me immobile and incapable of crawling away from their plans to harvest my blood, organs, and innards.

Needless to say, I am willing to do just about anything to get those blood sucking masterminds away from me.

One useful tip that I like to try is to place a bag of old grapes (I have had the best luck with red grapes) under the sink near the the wall, but not touching it. I don't know why this works, but it seems to draw them in as I usually find a pile of dead spiders near the bag. Of course, there are trade offs. Old fruit tends to attract fruit flies, but in my book I much prefer the company of fruit flies to spiders!
