How to Keep Spiders Away
WouterProbably the most common household pest is the spider. Some people are afraid of them, while others are willing to do everything they can to keep them away. Luckily, there are a few simple steps that you can take to protect your home from these creepy critters.
The best way to keep spiders at bay is to control their food source. Flies are very good at attracting spiders, so you should make sure to keep them out of your pet’s food. You can also put plastic boxes around your pet’s food to prevent the flies from getting into it.
Another way to deter spiders is by using a natural pesticide. You can use essential oils or citrus peels, which repel spiders. You can place these on your window sills or doorways. You can also mix a few drops of these oils with water and spray it on your doorways.
If you have children, be careful with the pesticides you use. Some are dangerous. You should read the directions on the label carefully.
Aside from the natural pesticides, you can also use vinegar and water to fight off spiders. You can apply it on windowsills, doors, and doggie doors. You can also use it on the underside of your cabinets to keep them clean and spider-free.
You can also enlist the help of cats. Cats are very good at catching spiders. However, they might not be suitable for every house. If you do decide to get a cat, you should find a quiet area where the cat can roam freely.
