• Get rid of spider food: Get rid of any dead flies or any small crawling insects that might bring spiders.
• Get rid of the garbage immediately to not bring in insects, which are a main source of food for spiders.
• Removing spider webs: The spider creates webs to help trap its prey; so periodically clean ceiling corners, hanging pictures, and antiques to make sure you remove spider webs.
• Reducing illumination: Insects are attracted to light; Flies and moths are perfect prey for spiders, so turn off any outdoor lights if you don’t want them.
• Put scents that spiders hate: Spiders do not like the smell of citrus fruits, such as lemon, orange, mint oil, garlic and vinegar, so try to spray places where spiders may be by spraying these ingredients.
• Crack sealing: Make sure to seal cracks and openings in walls, windows and doors.
• Make a household spider repellent from table salt and water; spray this mixture in the garden and around the home once a week.
