How to keep spiders out?

Keeping spiders out of your property is not a hard thing to accomplish. There are a lot of DIY methods that you can try out that are also cost-efficient. Here are a few effective methods:

Essential oils

Spiders really don’t like the smell of some types of essential oils, their biggest enemy being peppermint. Get a spray bottle and fill it up with cold water. Then add around 20 drops of peppermint oil, which can be bought from any pharmacy. Shake the bottle well and spray all potential spider house areas in your home like the corners of your rooms, vents, cracks in the walls and floors, closets, etc. By doing this, you eliminate all chances of having a spider move in.

DIY spider repellent spray

Why spend money on chemically smelling, expensive repellents from the store when you can create one yourself with two kitchen items that you most definitely have in your home – vinegar and black pepper? Again, get yourself a spray bottle or recycle one that you already have. Fill it up with equal amounts of water and vinegar, then add a bit of pepper and shake the concoction. Like with the first tip – spray any entry points or areas that have the potential to be invaded by spiders. If you don’t fancy the idea of your house smelling like a salad for a couple of hours, you can mix water and a bit of dishwashing detergent instead.

Sticky traps

This method is good against already existing spiders in your house. You can basically place the traps anywhere around your property, without worrying about your cat getting poisoned, for example, because the solution is non-toxic. You can find this sort of pest trap in any hardware store and it’s fairly cheap.

Professional spider control
