6. Diatomaceous Earth
This natural powder is made from fossilized algae and works as a physical deterrent. Sprinkle food-grade diatomaceous earth around the perimeter of your home, near baseboards, and other spider-prone areas. It’s safe for humans and pets but deadly for insects and spiders.
7. Citrus Peels
Spiders dislike the smell of citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. Place fresh citrus peels around window sills, doorways, and corners to naturally repel spiders.
8. Regular Outdoor Maintenance
Spiders often enter homes from nearby bushes, tall grass, or wood piles. Keep your yard tidy by trimming vegetation away from your house, removing debris, and relocating firewood storage further from your home’s foundation.

By using these natural tips, you can create an environment that spiders find unwelcoming, ensuring your home stays cozy and spider-free.
