これさえ読めば安心! How to Deter Spiders from Houseの対策をステップバイステップで解説します。

Spiders absolutely hate the smell of peppermint. It’s like us walking into a room that smells like burning tires—we’d leave. Mix 15 drops of peppermint essential oil with water in a spray bottle.

Spray it along windowsills, door thresholds, and baseboards. Reapply every week because the scent fades. Pro tip: Don’t spray it on fabric or untreated wood unless you want your couch smelling like a candy cane factory.

The great declutter mission

Spiders are shy introverts who love cozy, dark hiding spots. Piles of old newspapers, cardboard boxes, and random shoes are basically luxury condos for them. Go through your junk drawer—yes, that one—and recycle anything you haven’t touched in six months.

Vacuum under the bed and behind furniture more often than you’d like. It breaks up their webs and removes egg sacs before they become a surprise baby shower. Trust me, you don’t want to find a hundred tiny spiders in your laundry basket.
