Spiders are generally unwelcome guests. Some even consider them total intruders. How can you get rid of spiders? There is a magical recipe that will help you deal with these pests.

Are spiders your most significant anxiety? It's time to change that. Prepare this mixture of three ingredients as soon as possible.

Pour water and vinegar (in equal proportions) into a spray bottle. Fill the rest with lemon juice or a few drops of citrus essential oil. Mix the whole solution thoroughly and spray it on window and balcony frames.

To get tangible results, the spider-deterrent treatment should be repeated every three days.

How to deal with spiders? Here are a few important rules

The mentioned mixture is not the only trick to dealing with spiders. The following rules should also be noted:

  • Regularly clean your home, especially in corners and places where food scraps or dust can accumulate;
  • Check if windows, doors, and other openings are well-sealed. Spiders often enter through cracks and crevices;
  • Install screens on windows and doors to prevent insects from entering;
  • Spiders enter the house in search of food, i.e., other insects. Ensure there are no flies, mosquitoes, or other small insects in the house that could attract spiders;
  • Some plants, such as mint, lavender, or eucalyptus, can repel spiders. Place them in pots near windows and doors;
  • If natural methods do not work, you can use store-bought chemical repellents for spiders. It's essential to use them according to the manufacturer's instructions.
