A Natural Spider Spray Formula for inside the house:
To get Immediate Relief from spiders inside the house buy 8 oz bottle of Dr Bronners Peppermint or Lavender Soap, or any other natural soap. Go to your local drug store and buy 1 oz of Citronella oil, Pennyroyal oil, Cinnamon oil or any other type of Essential oil like rose oil or tea tree oil.
You can also add 1 drop of any of the following (depending on preference to you) to 1 quart of water:
Citronella Oil
Lavender Oil
Cinnamon Oil
Peppermint Oil
Citrus Oil
Tea Tree Oil
any of the above oils will kill spiders and other insects on contact! Test for strength.
Add 5 tablespoons of the soap per quart water. Add 5 tablespoons of any natural citrus oil to the quart water which you added the soap and label it spider control spray. Add to sprayer and spray inside house where spiders are seen. Should be done as often as needed. This is not a long term solution but will provide you immediate help.
Spray outside the house:
Spray outdoor trash and recycling bins with any natural soap. I especially like using Dr Bronners soaps. Use the same formula as in to spray the containers and the area around it with. You can also use any natural citrus based cleaner at 1 oz per quart water. Spray around the outside of the house and along any places that you see too many of them. remember, you should try to get used to them as they as beneficial and catch a lot of insects and will not harm you.
