Indoor Spider Repellent

With the current level of climate changes, it has been scientifically proven that spiders not only thrive in the outdoors but they can also survive indoors. Now don’t get me wrong; I don’t live in a mansion but anytime is a good time to discuss a spider repellent for both homes and businesses.

Indoor Spider Repellent

Citrus fruits

Spiders hate citrus fruits! You can easily prepare green repellent by squeezing half a lemon and mixing it with water. Pour this liquid in spray bottle and spray around the house. Spiders usually nest in wall crack, corners of the walls, and the hidden, dark places – behind cabinets and wardrobes, heavy pieces of furniture, corners of walls and ceilings, cracks in wooden flooring.

Another way to get rid of spiders is to sun dry citrus fruits peels and grind them in food processor. Sprinkle this powder around the house once every week and the spiders will soon disappear. You can use grapefruitorangelemon or lime peels, or the mix of all of them.

Essential oils

Almost all bugs and insects hate strong aromatic smells. Pour warm water into a pray bottle, add 10 drops of essential oil and shake well. Use this spray around the house. Don’t miss corners or the rooms, behind the wardrobes, cabinets and other heavy furniture, cracks in the walls, and the space under your windows, as these are the spaces that spiders prefer to hide in and nest.

You can also use undiluted essential oils, and just sprinkle a few drops in all corners of the house. However, we don’t recommend this method, if you can’t stand strong smells. The oils that are proven to be the most effective to repellent spiders are:

  • tea tree oil
  • lavender oil
  • eucalyptus
  • peppermint oil
  • citronella oil

The best thing is that you can use essential oils for many other cleaning purposes – for example to prepare your own eco-friendly laundry detergents!

Spices & Herbs

If you don’t like the strong smell of essential oil, you can use common spices and herbs to stop the spider infestation in your home. Herbs, spices and cooking powders such as salt, baking soda, turmeric, or dried mint can be directly sprinkled in areas where spiders hide.

You can also grind cloves, or black pepper to a fine powder and sprinkle all cracks, corners and hidden places in your house. Just take in mind, that both spices are quite strong, and the fine powder can irritate your eyes and airways as you distribute it. Always wear a mask and safety goggles when sprinkling black pepper of cloves powder against spiders.

Vinegar Spray

Vinegar is used in many homemade cleaners, however not many people know, that vinegar is an excellent bugs and spiders repellent. Prepare a solution of 1 part vinegar and 1 part water, and spray around your home. If you don’t like the smell of vinegar you can add a few drops of strong essential oil to mask it. However, before using this recipes, check which are the 8 things you should never clean with vinegar.

Rolling Tobacco

Spiders are repelled by the strong tobacco smell and you can use this against them! Take strong pipe or rolling tobacco and mix it with warm water and flour until you have thick dough. Form small balls with your hands and place them in different spots around your house – this is one of the most efficient ways to chase away spiders.

Another way to use tobacco is to prepare a spray, by adding a few pinches of it to a bottle of hot water. Shake well and wait a few minutes to let the infusion work out. Drain the liquid, separating it from the tobacco, pour in spray bottle and use around the house. Just take in mind that this liquid can colourate light surfaces and walls.

No matter which method you choose, you should remember than getting rid of spiders is also a matter of cleanliness. Clean the carpets and upholstery and vacuum regularly around the house and in the drawers, wardrobes and cabinets to remove eggs and cobwebs. Don’t hesitate to contact professional home cleaners in your area to give you a hand with deep cleaning of rugs, furniture and wooden floors.

Indoor Spider Repellent

If you’re like us, the thought of a spider crawling up your leg while you’re sitting on the couch is enough to make you scream and run for cover. We know that it’s not just spiders that repel people from their homes—it’s all insects. But what can you do if your home is already infested with bugs?

Well, here’s a secret: there are things you can do to make your living space less appealing to bugs. And one of those things is using spider repellent indoors.

Spider repellents are designed to keep spiders away from your home by spraying it around doorways and window frames. They also work well in basements and other dark, cool places where spiders might be lurking.

How does it work? Spiders have their own scent—a mixture of pheromones and oils—that they use as a warning signal for other spiders not to come near them. When a spider detects this scent, it will leave the area immediately because it thinks another spider has arrived. Spider repellents mimic this scent in order to trick spiders into thinking another spider is present so they’ll leave an area where humans live or work.
