Spiders squeeze through cracks you didn’t know existed. They’re like tiny Houdinis with bad intentions. Check windows, doors, and pipes for gaps. Use caulk or weather stripping to block their entry points. If a credit card can slide under a door, a spider can waltz right in.

Other detestable scents include: citrus (lemon, orange), vinegar, and cedar. Rub lemon peels on window sills, or drop a few cedar chips in closets. It’s cheaper than an exterminator and more fun than explaining to your cat why you’re screaming at a tiny dot on the wall.
