How to deal with spiders: important rules
The mentioned mixture is not the only trick for dealing with spiders. The following rules should also be noted:
- Regularly clean your home, especially in corners and places where food scraps or dust can accumulate.
- Check if windows, doors, and other openings are well-sealed. Spiders often enter through cracks and crevices.
- Install screens on windows and doors to prevent insects from entering.
- Spiders enter the house in search of food, i.e., other insects. Ensure there are no flies, mosquitoes, or other small insects in the house that could attract spiders.
- Some plants, such as mint, lavender, or eucalyptus, can repel spiders. Place them in pots near windows and doors.
- If natural methods do not work, you can use store-bought chemical repellents for spiders. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
