Simply having a mint plant on your windowsill or scattering leaves around window frames can be effective
Summer is on the horizon, and with it comes the inevitable invasion of spiders seeking refuge in our homes. This year's influx of these eight-legged creatures is expected to be larger than usual, attributed to the warm and damp conditions of spring luring them indoors.
BestHeating's heating technology expert Jess Steele has shared a budget-friendly tip that can be found in most supermarkets, detailing additional steps to keep spiders at bay during the warmer months, reports the Express. Jess explains the rationale: "Peppermint oil provides a strong smell, and spiders are sensitive to them which makes it an effective yet cheap method of taking away the worry of finding creepy crawlies all over the home, without causing harm to them."
She explained: "Spiders smell with their legs so that's why powerful scents work well. For those with persistent issues try a mixture of smells such as citrus peels, herbs and spices like mint and cinnamon, and even using vinegar in a spray, as these are fantastic and natural ways to keep your home free of arachnids without spending much."
