How to get rid of spiders in your house

If you have spider problems like I did, you probably can't be in your home comfortably. Here's a simple solution.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a few drops of citronella
  • a spray bottle
  • water
  • a cloth or sponge
  1. Step 1

    Fill your spray bottle with 8 oz of water and add 20 or so drops of citronella.

  2. Step 2

    Spray some of your solution onto the cloth and wipe the walls down. Concentrate on your corners as this is where they like to hang out.

  3. Step 3

    Let dry. As spiders taste using fibers on there feet, they will not want to be around the house.
