Spiders Don’t Like Strong Scents
Did you know that there are a few scents that spiders don’t like? These fragrances include the following:
- Peppermint
- Citrus such as lemon
- Tea-tree
- Cinnamon
- Rose
- Lavender
There are essential oils that you can use to add to the corners of your windows, doorways and any openings to your home. But another way you can deter spiders from entering your home is to use Zoflora. There are several Zoflora fragrances that spiders may not like such as Lemon Zing or Lavender Escape.
Simply add your Zoflora to a sprits bottle and spray it around your home or entryways. Always pay special attention to areas where arachnids are most likely to enter such as vents, windows and doorways.
However, if you don’t have any Zoflora or essential oils on hand, you can always make a solution of vinegar and water. When you use acidic solutions avoid wood or varnished surfaces because it may destroy these finishes.
Another solution to repel spiders is cedar. So buy furniture made from cedar wood or add this material around your doorways and window frames.
Always Keep Your Home Neat – No Clutter!
One characteristic of spiders to know is that they love to hide in dark corners. If your house is cluttered and there are many items lying around there will be plenty of places spiders can hide. That’s why it’s important to keep your home neat and tidy.
Keep all your miscellaneous items stored in plastic boxes instead of cardboard ones because it’s more difficult for arachnids to cling onto cardboard. Additionally, you should sweep, vacuum or mop your floors regularly to get rid of unwanted cobwebs.
How to Protect Your Home on the Outside
Another way you can prevent spiders from entering your home is protecting your outside area. You can stop spiders from the source by removing compost, grass and plants away from your outside walls to prevent spiders from hiding in them.
What’s more, you can plant flowers and trees that repel spiders such as lavender plants or lemon trees. Always repair holes or cracks in your walls to prevent spiders from entering through small spaces. Or spray an organic pesticide around your plants that won’t damage the environment such as a solution of apple cider vinegar and water.
Keep Your Lights Off at Night
Spiders may not be attracted to fake light but bugs that spiders live to eat will be attracted to the lights around your home. To prevent these bugs from entering your home or coming near your house keep your outside lights off.
Or get sensor lights that will only switch on when someone walks up to the doorway. This way you’ll repel bugs and spiders and you’ll save on your electricity bill each month.
