Non Toxic Spider Solutions

Spider Solutions

Getting rid of spiders entirely may not be realistic (or ideal), but you can significantly minimize their population in your home by making it a little less inviting for them. We have a few great spider solutions up our sleeves, and we’ve shared them below!

Spider Solution #1: White Vinegar

Vinegar is an easy, usually on-hand, ingredient that can help keep spiders away from your home. While it is harmless to humans, it gives off a sour taste and odour that spiders are highly sensitive to.

You can use Vinegar spray as organic pest control, and here’s how:

Mix equal portions of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray around your home, concentrating on your kitchen and entrances where bugs may be coming in. You can also use vinegar as a cleaning solution in your bathroom and kitchen to get two jobs done at once.

Spider Solution #2: Mint

Mint is nature’s great pest repellent, making it a great spider solution. Most Bugs, including spiders, cannot sand mint. There are a few ways you can use mint in your home to help keep the bugs out.

  1. Firstly you can add peppermint essential oil to water in a spray bottle and spray it all over your home. This will also keep your home minty fresh.
  2. Secondly, you can crush some dried mint leaves and put them in little sachets in your kitchen cupboard. If you don’t have fresh mint, try mint tea bags.
  3. Another great way to prevent bugs from entering your home is to plant mint leaves outside your entryways.

When in Doubt? Count on the Professionals
