Natural Pest Control Tips For Spiders

Written by Ashley Smith
Tips Leave a Comment

Spiders live a simple life. They live to eat, make webs and reproduce. While arachnids are the villains in scary movies and nightmares, there are only four types of venomous spiders in the U.S.: the yellow sac, brown recluse, hobo spider and black widow. Most other spiders are harmless and can even help earn their keep by providing minor Portland pest control services such as keeping insect populations down inside your home. C

If you don’t like the idea of hosting a free, live-in insect exterminator, you can use natural Portland pest management techniques to eliminate or shoo spiders out of sight and into spots that are more useful, such as your yard. (If you think you have encountered a venomous spider, however, call a Portland pest control company to help you handle the situation safely.)

Techniques for getting rid of spiders naturally include:

Saline solution.

Salt is a natural type of spider poison, so it makes an effective Portland pest control aide. Dissolve an ounce of salt (1/8 cup) in a gallon of warm water, and pour the saline mixture into a spray bottle. Spray the salty solution directly onto a spider to kill it. Salt water is also effective at killing spider nests.

Crushed chestnuts.

Spiders detest fresh chestnuts. To send a spider running the other way, place freshly crushed chestnuts at spider entry points.

Vinegar and coconut oil.

If there’s an area of your home that is chronically draped with cobwebs, clean out the webs and spray the area with a mixture made from a cup of white vinegar and a teaspoon of coconut oil. This natural mixture will encourage spiders to hang out somewhere else.

Essential oils.

Some of your favorite essential oils are deadly to spiders, even in the smallest quantities. Add a fresh scent to a room and exterminate spiders by mixing a quart of water with a drop of one of the following essential oils: lavender, citronella, peppermint, citrus, tea tree or cinnamon. Simply spray the spider with the mixture you created.

Instead of opting for a chemical solution that can harm your family and pets, go for a natural, budget-friendly Portland pest management solution that’s just as effective. As you’re on your spider-eliminating crusade, keep in mind that spiders are beneficial pests that help control more problematic insects, such as ants and mosquitoes.
