How to Naturally Make Spiders Leave Your Home for Good

Heyyy! So, listen up. Have you ever found yourself sitting on the couch, chilling and enjoying your snack, when suddenly a spider crawls out of the shadows like it’s auditioning for a horror movie? Yeah, me too! Spiders can be kinda creepy and super squirmy. But what if I told you there are natural ways to kick those eight-legged house guests to the curb? Yep! Let’s learn how to make spiders leave your home for good without resorting to some weird chemical potion that smells like feet.

Step 1: Total Clean Up Time

Alright, first up, you gotta clean your house like you’re preparing for a visit from the Queen! Spiders love dirty places with dust bunnies and crumbs everywhere. So get your vacuum cleaner, broom, or that old sock you call a dust rag and start cleaning everything. And don’t forget those corners where you’ve probably never looked since 2010. Bye-bye cobwebs!

Step 2: Close All The Cracks

Okay, so you know how you were told to keep secrets? Well, here’s another secret: spiders have their own way of sneaking in through tiny cracks in doors and windows. So go around your place with some caulk or sealant—don’t worry it’s not scary—and close all those little openings. And while you’re at it, maybe stop leaving the door wide open for every insect auditioning to be spider food.

Step 3: Essential Oils Are Your Friends

So guess what? Spiders hate essential oils! It’s like their version of garlic against vampires. You can mix peppermint oil with water in a spray bottle and spritz it around your home. It smells nice for us but sends spiders running for the hills. They can’t handle that minty freshness!

Step 4: Spice Things Up

When life gives you spiders, give them some strong spices instead! Seriously! You can sprinkle cinnamon or even cayenne pepper around windows and doors because who wants spicy stuff in their home anyway? Like really! And just think—a little spice might just make them pack their bags and leave faster than you’d change the channel during a boring commercial.

Step 5: Homemade Traps

This might sound a bit messy but hear me out. Grab some cardboard and cut it into small squares. Then add some sticky glue (the kind used for crafts). Place these traps around where you usually see spiders hanging out—like they own the place! When they step on it thinking it’s their luxury rug—you got ’em!

Step 6: The Great Outdoors

While this may sound wild… consider creating an outdoor “spider hotel.” Yup, sounds fancy right? Just put together some sticks and leaves away from your home so that spiders can have their own little party outside instead of inside your living room during movie night. It’s like taking them out to brunch without any awkward small talk.

Step 7: Call The Bug Professionals

Last resort time! If all else fails—and you’ve tried everything from dancing around yelling “GO AWAY SPIDERS!”—maybe it’s time to call in pest control professionals who know how to handle these little critters without turning everything into an episode of Fear Factor. They’ll check everything out without breaking too much of a sweat.
