Spiders love cardboard boxes, laundry piles, and that dusty corner behind your couch. They’re basically hoarders with fangs. Reduce clutter and they’ll lose their tiny apartments. Vacuum under the bed—spiders treat dust bunnies like luxury condos.
Here’s the twist: spiders also avoid areas that smell like citrus or peppermint. You can make a DIY spider repellent spray with water and peppermint oil. Spray it along baseboards, and your house will smell like a candy cane factory—minus the venom.
