I have heard that they hate Horse Chestnuts. You could lay some cut open ones around any place they might get in. Or you could boil them in a pot for 10 minutes, then strain the liquid and use it in a spray bottle.
Another thing is keep windows and doors closed especially if the weather suddenly turns from dry and fine to rainy. They like to come in out of the rain!
If you are not afraid of all types -only those big brown or black ones who run fast, then you can check this out also:
There is another kind of spider, a very thin spindly peaceful spider who will keep away the big hairy ones! It's a cannibal spider and preys on the big ones.
If you keep a few of those spindly ones about the place the big ones stay away -or they get eaten.
They are known as "Cellar spiders" or Pholcidae:

These usually like to hang out in their webs and rarely go walkies, and won't bother you.
