Is it true that spiders hate conkers?

I heard that some people use them as deterrents, but it just sounds ridiculous!

    Only because they can't hide under them when a great galumphing human comes along and spoils their fun while they're looking for a shag!

    No ones quite sure, its an old wives tale that comes in and out of fashion. Its never been proven either way but some people think its because Conkers contain a chemical that spiders don't like.
