Lavender contains linalool and linalyl acetate, aromatic compounds that many insects—including spiders—find unpleasant or overwhelming.
Spiders navigate largely by touch and smell, and strong, pungent odors can interfere with their ability to sense prey or find shelter.
Lavender is also considered a high-nectar-yielding plant, which is especially useful to bees during mid-to-late summer when other nectar sources may be scarce.
Lavender reflects light in a spectrum that bees see very clearly.

Bees don't see red well, but they do see blue, violet, and UV light—lavender fits right into their visible range, making it visually attractive.
As well as lavender, Lidl is also flogging Calla Lilies, Clematis and Roselilies.
Super spiders: nature's pest control
Despite their creepy-crawly reputation,
spiders are some of the most important and fascinating creatures on the planet
.
They play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance—acting as natural pest controllers in both gardens and homes.
A single spider can consume hundreds, even thousands, of insects in its lifetime, including mosquitoes, flies, aphids, and even agricultural pests that threaten crops.
Without spiders quietly doing this work, ecosystems—and our food supply—would be far more vulnerable to infestations.
The Calla Lilies, known for their trademark trumpet flower are just £4.99 and guaranteed to brighten up any home.
If you're looking to add a splash of colour to your garden, you can pick up a clematis flower, also for just £4.99.
