You don’t have to run around your house with a broom to eliminate spiders. Check out this method to make sure the spiders stay away from your place.

Where will you find them? In dark, damp places. Also, around cracks and crevices.
What can you do? Cut a few lemon slices. Rub it around the openings so that these areas are nicely covered with a citrus scent. Potent smell repels spiders. You can also make a solution of water and a few drops of lemon juice. Spray it around areas where you are most likely to find spiders.
What’s next? Clear the web with a broom or a vacuum and clean the space with some warm water and a cotton cloth.

Bid adieu to spiders.

Don’t scrub lemon too hard. It may scrape the paint off.
