How to get rid of spiders

First, you need to clean up the house, including all the hidden corners. The cobwebs need to be collected by winding them on a stick with a wet rag.

Secondly, you need to use smells. Spiders don't really like the aromas of orange and lemon, crushed chestnut, and even hazelnuts.

Thirdly, you can treat the room with essential oils of mint, eucalyptus, tea tree, diluting 20 drops in 1 liter of water.

Spray the mixture from a spray bottle where spiders are most likely to appear.

Fourthly, spiders do not like the smell of vinegar. It is diluted with water 1:1 and also sprayed in cracks and corners.

In particularly severe cases, aerosols and other industrial chemicals are used. But it is important to remember that spiders are more likely to be man's friends than enemies, as they help fight flies, mosquitoes and other winged pests.
