Steps to Follow:

1. Fill the Spray Bottle: Halfway with water.
2. Add White Vinegar: Pour an equal amount of white vinegar into the bottle.
3. Add Essential Oils: Add 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil. Peppermint oil is particularly effective because spiders are repelled by its strong scent. Tea tree oil can also be used for the same purpose.
4. Shake the Bottle: Shake well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
5. Spray the Mixture: Apply the mixture to areas where you’ve noticed spider activity or where spiders are likely to enter, such as window frames, doorways, and baseboards.

Why This Works:

1. White Vinegar: Contains acetic acid, which acts as a natural deterrent to spiders.
2. Essential Oils: Peppermint and tea tree oils contain compounds that spiders find offensive, driving them away without causing harm.

By using this simple yet effective method, you can keep spiders away from your home without any adverse effects on your health or the environment. Try it out the next time you encounter a spider and enjoy a pest-free living space in just minutes!
