Magic potions and sprays
Anti-spider If you are the type to prefer soft solutions, arm yourself with a spray. Here are some recipes for natural repellents that will frighten them:

White tinple: Mix water with white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray the door frames and dark rooms where the spiders could hide. The strong smell of vinegar will deter them.
Essential oils: Mix some water, a few drops of tea tree oil or peppermint and some dishwashing liquid. Spray access areas such as windows and plinths. The intense aroma disturbs spiders, encouraging them to turn around.

To reduce the surprise visits of these eight-legged visitors, keep your house clean and tidy.
