You will never, ever make your house 100% spider-proof. They are tiny ninjas. But you can make it a terrible Airbnb for them.
Seal cracks. Declutter. Use peppermint. Turn off lights. And relax. A few spiders are fine. They’re nature’s pest control, and they really don’t care about you. They just want bugs and warm corners.
Next time you see one, take a breath. Smile. Then calmly pick up a glass. You’re now the cool, confident spider whisperer. Your house, your rules. And peppermint oil on the door.
