3. Distilled Vinegar
Create a solution of equal parts distilled vinegar and water, then spray it on and around cracks in your home. Spiders dislike the smell and will avoid treated areas.
4. Cedar Hangers
Swap regular hangers for cedar ones to discourage spiders from nesting in closets. Cedar’s scent repels spiders, reducing the likelihood of webs in your wardrobe.
5. Citrus Rinds
Spiders and pests loathe citrus aromas. Place orange or lemon rinds strategically around your home or lightly rub them on surfaces to intensify the scent and repel spiders.
6. Lemon Furniture Polish
Utilize lemon furniture polish on wooden surfaces to further discourage spiders from lingering indoors. The citrus scent acts as a natural deterrent.
7. Chestnuts
Surprisingly, chestnuts contain compounds spiders find unappealing. Position them under furniture, in closets, and in basements to discourage spiders from inhabiting these areas.
8. Coconut Oil
Create a solution of coconut oil and water, then spray it around cracks and crevices in your home. Spiders dislike the smell and texture of coconut oil, making it an effective barrier against their intrusion.
