    Peppermint Oil Uses against Spiders

    One of the wonderful peppermint oil uses is to get rid of spiders from within the house. This makes peppermint oil uses multipurpose.

    Spiders find the odor of peppermint unpleasant and repulsive. Spiders sense the scent through tiny receptor hairs on their front legs. A robust fragrance like peppermint oil is sufficient to send spiders darting in another direction, as far off from the over-bearing smell as they possibly can.

    Method 1:

    Wherever you find spiders concentrate indoors, place a small tray with cotton ball saturated with peppermint oil. The odor will continue to keep all of them absent. Try it!

    Method 2:


    Buy a spray bottle from the dollar store or however you want to get it.
    Fill it up with about 90% tap water.
    Add up to ten drops of peppermint oil.
    Close the bottle with the spray nozzle.

    Shake the bottle to mix water and peppermint oil to make your anti spider solution.

    Open the lid and sniff to detect if the smell of peppermint is strong enough, if so, your spray is ready.

    If not, add a few more drops of oil and re shake and sniff until you find the smell is strong.

    Spray the mixture in areas where you know or suspect spiders can enter from such as corners, inside window, inside doorways, etc.


    that is all, Have a nice Day TW
