Spiders cannot tolerate the smell of acorns and chestnuts
To make the scent more intense, drill holes in it and distribute it in places where spiders can appear, for example near windows and doors.
Little is known about why they repel spiders. Some speculate that chestnuts contain harmful chemicals.
2. Mint and lemon
Spiders also dislike the smell of mint and lemon. Add a tablespoon of lemon or peppermint oil to 1 liter of water, pour it into a spray bottle, and then spray the areas where spiders nest. It is better not to spray colored walls as they can be damaged by contact with citric acid.
Such a mixture works well in higher areas near ceilings, curtain rods or high wardrobes. For doors or windows, you can put a few drops of the oil on a cotton ball, paper towel or cloth and spread it in different places.
In addition to mint and lemon, lavender oil, cedar oil, and tea tree oil are equally effective at repelling spiders in your home.
