If you want to test this at home, grab a spray bottle. Fill it halfway with white vinegar. Fill the rest with water. Shake it up like a cocktail for your enemies.
Spray along baseboards, window frames, and under furniture. Avoid spraying directly on wallpaper or fabric. Vinegar can bleach or stain things. Oops.

Do this every day for a week. Then report back to your friends. “I am a spider-banishing alchemist,” you can say. They will be mildly impressed.

Also, consider this: spiders eat mosquitoes, flies, and other pests. Maybe you want a few roommates? Just a thought. A creepy, eight-legged thought.
