How to Get Rid of Spiders From Your Bathroom Drains
WouterWhen you hear the term “spider,” you probably imagine something big and scary. While that may be true of some spiders, most are harmless. Often, they are just trying to survive in your home.
If you find one, you can either release it, or try to keep it out of your home. If you have a shower, you can put a rubber plug over the drain so that the spider cannot crawl in.
If you have a sink, the spider may be trapped in the drain by the porcelain sides. If you’re not sure, you can also try re-caulking the bathroom.
When you’re looking for a way to catch the spiders, you can use the LEKEYE Drain Hair Catcher. The small holes will trap the spiders and you can clean the catch regularly. You can also spray the spiders with lemongrass or peppermint essential oil.
Lastly, you can put a towel in the sink to give the spider some texture so that it can climb out. If you’re using a bath, you can leave a towel in the tub so that the spider has something to hang onto.
If you don’t want the spiders in your bathtub, you can buy a product called Stay Away(r) Spiders. It contains plant-based ingredients and a pleasant scent, such as lavender or cinnamon. This product is effective against many different types of pests, including those that are found in bathrooms.
Although most spiders aren’t dangerous to humans, it’s best to stay on the safe side. If you are worried, you can research the region where the spider comes from.
