Acorns and Chestnuts:

Surprisingly, spiders detest the aroma of acorns and chestnuts. Enhance their natural fragrance by piercing them, and then place them near potential entry points like windows or doors. Though the reason is unclear, it’s believed that some chemicals in these nuts may deter spiders.

Mint and Lemon:

Another scent spiders aren’t fond of is that of mint and lemon. Blend a tablespoon of either lemon or peppermint essential oil with a liter of water, transfer it into a spray container, and mist the common spider spots. If you’re targeting areas like doors or windows, dabbing some oil on a cloth and wiping can also be effective. However, be cautious with colored walls, as citric acid might stain them. Other spider-repelling oils include lavender, cedar, and tea tree.

Vinegar Solution:

Vinegar acts as a formidable spider deterrent. Mix equal quantities of water and vinegar, pour it into a sprayer, and target typical spider hideouts such as doors, window edges, vents, etc.
