Spiders…tolerable outside, but inside your home, most often viewed as enemies. If you are a person who cannot stand the thought of spiders in your house, what can you do? Some methods allow you to trap and release, some will kill the spiders, and some will help keep them away in the first place.
Most spiders are harmless and are actually beneficial in keeping other bugs away. To catch and release them, you can use a “spider catcher” which is a tool that gently vacuums the spiders up and allows you to release them unharmed. If you don’t care about sparing their life, you can use spider traps or use a regular vacuum to suck them up, or if you have a cat, they can hunt for you!
The best method is to keep spiders out in the first place. Keep your home clean and tidy. This will eliminate hiding spots for spiders. Also, regular cleaning will help get rid of webs that are forming. You can also make a mixture of water and peppermint oil (highly disliked by spiders) and spray around windows and doors.
It is hard to completely eliminate bugs from inside life, but you can limit their welcome.
