Spider season is here, and apparently some of them missed the memo that this is a house, not a timeshare.
Before you reach for harsh chemicals, try these simple scent tricks:
🌿 Peppermint
✨ Cinnamon
🍊 Orange Oil
They’ll make your home smell fresh while helping make it less inviting to unwanted eight-legged visitors.
I use natural scents whenever possible because nobody wants their house smelling like a science experiment after cleaning day.

Ingredients for a 16 oz (2 cup) spray bottle:
🌿 10–15 drops Peppermint essential oil
✨ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 5–10 drops cinnamon essential oil
🍊 10–15 drops Orange essential oil
💧 Fill the rest of the bottle with water and shake well before each use.
