As the weather gets cooler, you might find more uninvited eight-legged guests sneaking into your home. Yep, it’s spider season! But don’t worry, we’ve got some aromatic secrets to keep them at bay. 🌿🕷️
Forget the bug sprays; it’s all about the scents. Start with peppermint oil—just mix 15 to 20 drops in a spray bottle with water and spritz away! Ensure you refresh the mix regularly for maximum effect. Want more options? Tea tree, lavender, and rose oils are just as effective while making your home smell divine.
But wait, there’s more! Cinnamon isn’t just for baking—it also repels spiders. Stock up on essential oils, candles, and even dried sticks to spread the love and banish the spiders.
And let’s not forget citrus! Spiders can’t stand the stuff. Use orange or lemon peel to rub along your skirting boards, windowsills, and bookshelves. Lemon-scented cleaners and citronella candles work wonders, too.
For bonus protection, keep your home clutter-free. Spiders love hiding in piles and debris, so regular tidying and hoovering can help. You can also introduce some plants into your space that spiders dislike, like basil, rosemary, lavender, and mint.
So why not give these pleasant, natural methods a try and enjoy a spider-free sanctuary this season? 🏡🍋✨
