How to Prevent Spiders From Climbing
WouterIf you are wondering how to prevent spiders from climbing, then the answer is: it’s not easy! But there are many ways to stop them from getting into your base.
First, keep your base clean. This means removing any tangled spider webs from inside your home. Also, close any doors and windows that lead outside. A good rule of thumb is to keep them closed for a day after wet weather.
Second, make sure that your furniture is a reasonable distance away from any blocks. For example, a bed should be 8 inches (20 cm) away from a wall. You should also avoid any plants growing on the side of your house.
Spiders also hate citrus. Peppermint oil can be sprayed anywhere spiders are found. You can also place citrus peels on door sills, window sills, or floorboards. These will scare them away.
Another natural repellent is boric acid. This is an abrasive powder that can be used to kill spiders. It is also effective against fleas and termites.
Creating a wall of fence posts around your base can help keep them out. In addition to this, you can use Glowstone to cover the tops of fences. That way, they will not be able to climb over them.
If you are worried that Spiders can climb through your signs, then you should put a sign around the top part of your structure. Signs look better than overhangs, and they are more effective at keeping Spiders from climbing.
