In the fall, spiders search for a warm and safe place to live. During this time, males emerge from their hiding spots in search of females, which often leads them into our homes. For many of us, this is not pleasant. There is a great way to get rid of this problem. You'll only need... acorns!
Collect them on a walk and get rid of spiders
Acorns are extraordinary treasures of nature. They are not only charming but also practical in fighting spiders. If you want to get rid of them, try placing a few acorns on the windowsill. Place them in small bowls or simply scatter them loosely. Spiders dislike their smell. This simple method'll create a natural barrier against unwanted tenants.
A huge advantage is that acorns in the fall will also serve a decorative function. However, remember to replace them regularly with fresh ones to maintain their effectiveness.
Simple tricks are the most effective
You can also try other proven methods for better results. A solution of water with a few drops of peppermint, tea tree, or lavender oil will be helpful. Spray the areas where spiders most often appear and won't return.
You can also use vinegar. This kitchen ingredient repels spiders and insects. Dilute it with water and use it as a spray. Spray windowsills and corners of rooms. The intense smell will effectively keep them away.
Few people realize how important it is to close windows at night. Spiders most often enter the house this way. However, not everyone likes to sleep in a tightly closed room. If you often keep windows open and like to air out the apartment for hours, consider securing windows and doors with protective screens.
