Thankfully most Spiders are harmless. Although it helps to know what spiders could be dangerous. Usually you only expect to see them in abandoned buildings, and haunted houses. Certainly you don’t want them or their creepy webs turning your home into a Halloween horror show! You can easily make a simple spider repellent to keep annoying arachnids at bay! All you need is 3 cups of water in a spray bottle. A teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to make your mixture spray more evenly. Then you add your active spider repellent ingredient. This is one tablespoon of an essential oil. Preferably peppermint, or spearmint. Orange extract, citronella, or lavender are other alternatives as well.🕷
I just made up a bottle with what I had available without going to the store. I vow to defeat the spiders in our basement, and subbasement at Mystic Investigations headquarters. The only essential oils I had were a touch of orange oil, but mostly lemon in the required tablespoon. I also added 30 drops of Eucalyptus oil for good measure. These web slinging suckers think it’s funny giving people a faceful of their silly string. Lets see how they like their precious corners, baseboards, ceiling moldings, doorways, and crevices sprayed down with our stupendous spider repellant!🕷
