Bargain hacks that help keep spiders at bay
You can also keep spiders out the house by using a simple kitchen staple.
Earlier this year, The Sun revealed that white vinegar can often do the job.
Pest control expert Doug O’Connor explained that “spiders hate vinegar.”
He added: “The smell is overwhelming to them, and it causes irritation on contact.
“It is one of the simplest and most effective ways to deter them.”
You can pick up a bottle for as little as 35p from Sainsbury’s, though there is a good chance you will already have some sitting in your cupboard.
Peppermint oil is also a great way to keep critters out.
Adeel Ul-Haq, a sleep expert from Divan Beds, explained: “Peppermint oil is a great way to keep spiders away for cheap, and not only does it leave your home smelling amazing, but spiders hate it.
“The strong smell overwhelms the spiders and encourages them to go elsewhere.”
