Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Visit a grocery or hardware store and buy a special solution that deters spiders from building webs on household surfaces. Ask an employee to point you to products that are safe to use in homes.

Step2

Move furniture away from corners. It's important to move all furniture, including heavy furniture, away from corners to allow you the proper space to work.

Step3

Sweep and dust in corners to ensure that spiders are not given the opportunity to build webs in corner areas.

Step4

Vacuum your home's corners. Handheld, small devices are especially useful in corners because they allow for easy manipulation of the device. They also have small bags that are easily disposable and replaceable.

Step5

Spray the solution in your home's corners. Try to aim at areas where you commonly see spider webs. Pay special attention to any crevices that are near corners.

Step6

Dispose of the vacuum's bag after you vacuumed. Thoroughly clean all reusable implements like dusters and brooms to ensure that spider webs and any possible eggs are completely cleaned. Common household cleaning agents (like those containing diluted bleach) can be used to sterilize and kill any remaining remnants of the spiders and their webs.

Step7

Rearrange your furniture every time you clean. Switching the positions of furniture opens up the spaces to traffic and creates inhospitable conditions for spider web building. Convince the spiders that they are not welcome simply by being active and reminding them of your presence.

Step8

Clean around problem corners regularly.
