Natural Pest Control: Peppermint Oil Spray Keeps Spiders Away, But Beware of Pets

A recent online video highlights a simple, natural method for keeping spiders out of homes. The hack involves creating a spray using water and 20 to 30 drops of peppermint essential oil. The creator, Carolina Mccauley, demonstrates spraying this mixture around door frames, windows, and room corners, explaining that spiders are naturally repelled by the scent of peppermint. According to the video, this method is an easy way to deter spiders, which are said to lay hundreds of eggs in hidden spots. The creator notes that a bonus benefit is a fresh-smelling home. However, a critical safety warning is issued: the peppermint oil spray should not be used in homes with pets, particularly cats or small animals, as peppermint oil is not safe for them.
