September = Spiders 🕷️
Since I am currently away from my work in your home, I have time to advise you on spiders this Month and how best to keep them out.
* Seal any gaps around doors, windows and skirting boards
* Fit draft excluders on doors
* Keep windows shut at night
* Vacuum behind furniture and in corners
* Keep outside lights to a minimum since lights attract spiders
* Move pots, wood, leaves and garden clutter away from the house
* Trim any creeping vegetation from external walls near doors and windows
You can use a simple solution of peppermint essential oil and water with a dash of washing up liquid and spray this around doors and windows.
Tests and studies worldwide show no evidence that conkers repel spiders…. School children in Cornwall conducted an experiment which revealed spiders walk over conkers with no signs of distress, avoidance or harm!
Good luck this September. X
