How do you deter spiders from your home?

[#1]

Try using some barrier spray around all of your doors leading outside and windows. These come in an easy to use trigger pack and can last for almost a year. As the weather is cooling down and getting a lot wetter, now would be a perfect time to use this as more spiders will try and seek shelter. Here is what we use: Defender 3L Home Defense Barrier Spray. - 2Belindas

I've heard that cats are a great way to keep spiders under control. They will actively hunt and kill spiders. - Jackson

I don't like using too many chemicals in the house so I'd try filling a spray bottle with peppermint essential oil and spraying that around the house. Apparently spiders don't like the smell. - Alicia

We had the same problem with a number of white tail and huntsman spiders turning up in and around our house. We set off a few insect bombs and after eight weeks we haven't seen so much as an ant inside since. They weren't overly expensive and we certainly think they did the job. - Gwandalan_Tales
