6 Ways to Repel Spiders and Pests From The Home

  • So there are a few things that you can do to help alieviate the pest problem in your home. Here are a few all-natural ideas.

    1) Put citrus-smelling objects around the house

    Find items that have a fruity sense of smell, such as strawberry, oranges, lemons, etc. You can rub fruits against certain areas of your bathroom that tend to attract the most amount of spiders and pests.

    2) Keep cedar around your bathroom.

    Lighting a stick of incense will always keep spiders and pests away, since they cannot bear the burning smell. In general, you can put cedar blocks around, especially in areas that tend to attract these bugs.

    3) Have white-vinegar items in your bathroom.

    A clever approach is to fill spray bottle with white vinegar, and spray it throughout the bathroom. Spiders and bugs hate the smell of that type of vinegar, which means you’ll see much less of them as long as that smell is constant.

    4) Put peppermint oil throughout your bathroom.

    Peppermint produces a scent that is unbearable to spiders and pests. Fill a spray bottle with forms of peppermint, such as peppermint oil, and spray it throughout the bathroom.

    5) Include tree-nut smells in your bathroom.

    All types of tree nuts include a smell that spiders and pests do not like. Walnuts, chestnuts, etc. should be placed in certain areas of the bathroom that attract these bugs.

      I had an ant problem two years ago, all what I did was fill a spray bottle with warm soapy water, add a little bit of white vinegar, and a small amount of peppermint oil/extract. Shook the bottle to thoroughly mix the ingredients and spray the area.

      Note: soapy water does the killing part, while the peppermint extract and white vinegar repels the ants plus it also disrupts their pheromone trails
