How to keep spiders from your home

spider

There are several ways to keep spiders from entering your home:

  1. Seal cracks and gaps: Spiders can enter your home through small cracks and gaps in doors, windows, and walls. To prevent them from entering, seal any cracks and gaps using caulk, weatherstripping, or foam insulation.

  2. Remove clutter: Spiders love to hide in cluttered areas such as piles of clothes, papers, and boxes. Remove any unnecessary clutter to reduce the potential hiding spots for spiders.

  3. Vacuum regularly: Vacuuming can help remove any spider webs and eggs. Be sure to vacuum under furniture, behind appliances, and in corners.

  4. Use essential oils: Spiders dislike certain smells such as peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender. You can use essential oils or natural sprays that contain these scents to keep spiders away.

  5. Keep your home clean: Spiders are attracted to food crumbs and other debris. Keep your home clean and free of food scraps to reduce the likelihood of spiders coming inside.

  6. Turn off outdoor lights: Spiders are attracted to light, so turning off outdoor lights or using yellow bulbs can help reduce the number of spiders around your home.

  7. Use spider repellents: You can use spider repellents such as electronic pest repellers, sticky traps, or chemical sprays. However, be aware that some of these methods may be harmful to pets or small children.
