 How to Get Rid of Spiders

I don’t like spiders I have no desire to kill them all or annihilate them, I just want them out of my house.

 I understand their role in the ecosystem and appreciate it, but I do not want them in my house!

I am not going to get all bent out of shape over spiders that are harmless such as daddy long legs and others that are known to be harmless to humans but the ones that scare me are the brown recluse,  and the black widow spider.

Brown recluse spiders are naturally not very aggressive and will usually only bite if it is a last resort and they feel their life is in danger if they do not.

The first step in getting rid of them is to remove their comfy environment.. they love to get in dark places such as inside of clothes and shoes on the floor, inside cardboard (they love cardboard), under the covers on the bedding, etc., they need areas with moisture such as in bathrooms and kitchens.

These are things that are fairly simple to take care of..

       Remove the clutter

       Don’t allow clothes to pile up on the floor

       Get rid of cardboard boxes and use plastic bins instead

       Make sure the bedding is not touching the floor

       Take care of any unnecessary moisture such as leaky pipes, standing water, etc.

The next thing I discovered in how to get rid of spiders.. namely the brown recluse spider is the things that they do not like.

Apparently their taste buds are located on the tips of their legs so they will be very adamant about not walking thru or hanging out in areas that contain tastes that they do not like.

They hate citrus such as lemon, orange, etc. and from what I understand.. the best thing you can do is to dust with lemon pledge. They also hate eucalyptus leaves.. another natural way to make them feel extremely unwelcome.
