As it's still October in the UK, some of us can expect some unwanted eight-legged visitors in our homes. But don't worry, Pest Piper is here to help with some advice on how to keep those spiders away.
Tips to Keep Spiders Out
Declutter and Clean: Spiders love hiding in cluttered areas. Channel your inner Marie Kondo and get rid of anything that doesn't spark joy—or should I say, spark a spider scare.
Seal Cracks and Gaps: Spiders are the ultimate ninjas of the insect world. They can slip through the tiniest cracks. A bit of DIY weather stripping or sealant goes a long way.
Lights Out: Spiders are attracted to light. Keep your outdoor lights off when not needed, or switch to yellow-tinted bug lights.
How to Get Rid of Spiders
Essential Oils: Spiders may be fearless, but they can't stand the smell of peppermint, eucalyptus, or tea tree oil. A few drops mixed with water in a spray bottle should do the trick.
Vacuum Them Up: Time to face your fears head-on—literally. Use your vacuum cleaner’s nozzle to suck up those creepy-crawlies. Bonus: You get to feel like a ghostbuster!
Sticky Traps: Place these around your home in spider hotspots like basements and attics. Spiders walk in, but they don't walk out. Mwahaha!

If you've tried everything and your home still feels like the set of a horror movie, don’t worry! Pest Piper can swoop in to save the day. Professional spider removal services start from just £159.
