Keep the place clean

Spiders are attracted to clutter and dark corners, so it's important to keep your home clean and tidy. Dust and vacuum regularly to remove cobwebs and their potential hiding places. Pay attention to places such as basements, attics, and crawlspaces as they tend to be attractive to spiders.

Eliminate food sources

Spiders are also attracted to places with easily accessible food sources. Store food in airtight containers and clean up any spills or crumbs immediately.

Use natural deterrents

In addition to the physical aspects of protecting yourself from spiders, you can also use natural repellents. Spiders don't like certain smells, such as mint, citrus, and vinegar. Mix a few drops of essential oil with water and spray it along window sills, doorways, and other potential entry points.
