If my wife saw a spider at home, it could get her completely paralyzed. The room where it last occurs (the unwanted pest, not the woman, automatically leaves the room) must go through a clearing immediately, and CLEAR EVIDENCE must be given to eliminate the enemy.
On the other hand, a woman is a superstitious pacifist by nature. This means that I must not kill the spider, as this would offend domestic happiness. Unless in some humane way. However, such does not include slapping slippers or drowning in the sink, let alone bio-lit.

What Does Spider Web Stand For?
They constantly improve the web in which they catch prey, creating dense canvas nets. Many of them also form a tube from the cobweb, in which they spend most of the day, using it as a hiding place for eggs or hiding prey. However, he chooses different strategies for hiding eggs, such as housework that uses plaster to protect eggs from predators.
The best occurrence, of course, would be that spiders at home disappeared voluntarily. Unfortunately, it isn’t happening. So what can we do when killing spiders and throwing them out doesn’t make sense, because they come back through the window. Well, I later used ultrasonic pest control after I tried several options discussed below.
Experiment First: With A Vacuum Cleaner
Cleaning is generally best for spiders. But once a spider is, nothing works better for it than a vacuum cleaner. Just aim and it’s done with the cobweb. For a calm soul, you can knock the spider vacuum cleaner somewhere in the backyard. Alive or dead. Nobody will know.
Verdict: 70% (effective, but endless and its humanity could be debated)
Experiment Two: With Glue
Put duct tape under the bed together with the spiders, i.e. those who crawl on the ground, stick together, then throw everything out. I tried both sides. Some octopuses caught on, but honestly, no glory.
Verdict: 5% (it’s laborious, inefficient, unfriendly to spiders, and yet, not effective in the interior)
Experiment Three: With An Electronic Scarecrow
This tweak generates a signal inaudible to humans but unbearable to a spider. A commonly available and ideally functional invention the operation costs a maximum of 2 crowns per month and expels the spider. From one room to another. What’s worse, we also have evidence that some spiders are deaf.
Verdict: 75% (one room is not enough, moreover it doesn’t work at all)
Experiment Four: According To Grandma
According to the mother-in-law, chestnuts and lemon, or spilled tobacco, always worked in the village. We just didn’t try it and I brought the chestnuts home now. However, we poured lemon peel into the pots and squeezed the juice around. There will be something to it. We never counted the cobwebs, but emotionally there were simply fewer.
Displeasure in spiders is also aroused by vinegar. The procedure is equivalent to experiment four above. Lemons also work similarly – thoroughly smear the frames of the apartment, or corners, on window sills and spread lemon slices around the door. Other natural repellents that do not smell and avoid spiders are cinnamon, cedar, tobacco, and also coconut oil.
Verdict: 75% (3 out of 4 spiders not recommended)
Experiment Five: With A Home Repellent
In the end, according to the internet, I tried to make my repellent but not as effective as an ultrasonic pest repeller. The principle is simple: just the ingredients and a classic spray. The key ingredient is essential oil. You can experiment with them, oils with mint, cinnamon, or clove extracts are recommended. I used peppermint oil and on the second attempt, we smelled flat with a combination of lemon and eucalyptus. The solution was applied to an apartment. Result? It repels and still smells.
Verdict: 75% (does not discourage everyone, but the result is much better than it seems, and I must admit that it smells nice)
Formulate A Spray Against Spiders? This Is The Guide:
Fill the sprayer with 470 ml of warm water.
Add 7-10 drops of essential oil (mint, cinnamon, eucalyptus).
Top up with a few drops of liquid soap.
Shake well to mix the ingredients.
You can repel!
Nothing works completely 100%. We still have spiders at home. But by combining different methods, we have reduced their population by at least a quarter. Which is not enough. In addition, I say to myself that a couple of lucky spiders are always good after all.
Treatment of entire spaces against spiders
In the event of a major infestation or in a situation where the treatment of enclosed spaces is difficult, either due to the height of the ceiling or the complicated division, you can bet on fumigators (smokestacks). These are special preparations for the elimination of insect pests. Its use is very simple. After preparing the treatment area, simply place it and activate it with water according to the instructions on the package. The rest will provide smoke, which after activation reaches all corners, and with it insecticides that act on the spiders. After the treatment of the premises, the eliminated pests are hidden in nooks and crannies, where the smoke from the fumigator can be easily obtained. One product is enough to treat an area of 25 m, you can use more than one at a time, as needed.
Traps And Insecticides Apply To Spiders As Well
Set glue traps on spiders, it draws spiders with their smell. However, It’s difficult to position these spider traps on the ceiling, for example, we will use them more for species (for example, a hopper).
Another spiders’ liquidator is residual insecticides applied to the spiders’ point of occurrence concurrently as pesticides based on pyrethroids. These products are available in specialized stores. When applying chemical preparations, we follow the instructions given in the instructions for use. If we keep domestic animals in the apartment, we must ensure that they do not come into contact with the applied substance.
Conclusion
Even if we do not succeed in achieving a completely spineless and homeless household, let us not succumb to despair! We open a bottle with a tasty drink and watch a nice movie on TV, for example about tarantulas. We will be reassured by the knowledge that spiders are much worse off than we are… And besides, spiders can be good – they rid us of annoying insects, especially houseflies together with mosquitoes.
