How to do it:
Seal cracks and gaps in walls, windows, and doors. Keep your home clean and clutter-free. Use essential oils like peppermint or citrus; mix with water and spray in corners and entry points. Place sticky traps in areas where spiders are seen.

Result:
Reduces spider entry and discourages nesting, helping protect your goods from spider webs and potential damage.

Problem:
This method may fail if entry points are missed, cleaning is inconsistent, or spiders adapt to repellents.

How to do it:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray around windows, doors, and storage areas weekly. Place dried peppermint or lavender sachets in closets and corners.

Result:
Spiders are repelled by the scent, reducing their presence and protecting your goods from webs and potential damage.

Problem:
This method may fail if the scent fades quickly or if spiders find alternative entry points not treated with the solution.

How to do it: Regularly inspect your home for spiders and webs. Use a vacuum or tissue to remove spiders and webs. Seal cracks, gaps, and windows with caulk or weatherstripping to prevent entry.

Result:

• Reduces spider presence indoors
• Protects goods from webbing and spider droppings
• Maintains a cleaner environment

Problem: This method may fail if spiders find new entry points or if regular inspections are neglected, allowing populations to rebound.

How to do it:
Use natural predators like ladybugs or predatory mites to control spider populations around your home. Release them near entry points and garden areas to reduce spider numbers.

Result:

• Fewer house spiders entering your home
• Reduced need for chemical pesticides
• Eco-friendly pest management

Problem:
This method may fail if predators do not stay in the area, if spiders find alternative entry points, or if the local environment does not support the introduced species.

How to do it:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution in corners, cracks, and entry points where spiders are seen. Repeat weekly and after cleaning.

Result:
Spiders are repelled by the vinegar smell, reducing their presence and preventing them from nesting or damaging goods.

Problem:
This method may fail if spiders find alternative entry points, or if the solution is not reapplied regularly, allowing spiders to return.
