The best way to stop spiders from leaving their mark is to prevent them from ever coming in. Fall is the perfect time for spiders, insects and other critters to seek shelter, so stay one step ahead of them and block their access. Seal cracks in windows and door frames and cover your vents with insect screens.
While you’re outside covering up the cracks, move any of your potted plants a few extra feet from the house. Spiders love to hide inside shrubs and leafy vegetables, so if you’re going to give them a home, keep them away from yours.
An additional line of defense to prevent cobwebs from forming in your house is to dab your home with scents that drive spiders away. Most spiders won’t enter an area that has traces of tea tree, lemon, peppermint, or eucalyptus. Dab some of these essential oils onto small cotton balls and hide them inside the cracks you can’t seal, or spray the scents directly in the corners of your home to deter the creepy creatures.
With those pesky little creepers at bay, you can focus time and energy on making your home welcoming for all your guests.
