A woman has been branded a 'hero' after she shared her simple 'life hack' to rid your home of spiders and prevent any unwanted jump scares - and it's all down to one cheap product
A savvy woman has been praised after revealing her guaranteed method to prevent spiders from invading homes.
In the clip, she asserts: "If you're someone who hates spiders then this video is for you. I'm trying out spider-proofing my house with tea tree oil. Apparently, you're meant to use peppermint oil but I didn't have any to hand - but tea tree oil does the same job." Endorsing Lucy's homemade remedy, Pest UK echos that during the autumn, spiders seek refuge indoors from colder weather. Their website confirms the effectiveness of potent scents, saying: "Strong smells are a natural way to deter spiders from entering your home. Smells such as lemon, lime, oranges, and anything with a strong citrus aroma, help repel spiders. Also, eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, or peppermint oil.
Viewers of Lucy's viral video have been quick to share their spider repelling tips with one user remarking: "Tea tree oil washing up liquid and water in a spray bottle works every time - best thing ever for spiders."
