Spiders won't enter your house if you use £10 Amazon spray shoppers recommend

Spiders won't enter your house if you use £10 Amazon spray shoppers recommend Bugs will think twice about coming inside your home with the natural defence in place Spiders are highly active during September, which is widely recognised as the peak of "spider season" in the UK. But if you want to keep these eight-legged creatures away, there's a product that can help send them running in the opposite direction. A bottle of Peppermint Spider Pest Spray is available on Amazon, priced from £9.99 for a 250ml bottle, with next-day delivery on offer. Shoppers can also opt for a larger 750ml spray bottle (£13.99) or a 4.5L refill tub (£39.99). The product has received glowing reviews from customers, with many vouching for its effectiveness at keeping spiders at bay. The brand claims that its fresh mint spray acts as a "natural repellent", not an insect killer. Spiders hate the smell of peppermint because its intense chemical compounds overwhelm the sensitive tasting and smelling organs located on their legs, reports Wales Online. The listing claims this works effectively in any space. Eco-friendly pest control firm EFA International said: "Say goodbye to spiders in your home with our planet-friendly natural peppermint oil formula that works quickly, effectively and as a humane alternative to spider killer spray." The product description adds: "Whether you're dealing with spiders indoors or outdoors, our spider spray is the quickest way to repel spiders naturally. Safeguard your property from spider infestations with our peppermint oil spray." Beyond homemade solutions, there are a number of ready-made spider-repelling sprays available, including MckLords Peppermint Spider Pest Repellent (B&Q, £10.99 for 750ml) and Karlsten Natural Peppermint Spider Spray (Tesco, £12.99 for 500ml). However, Amazon's offering was among the highest-rated. What other scents repel spiders? Most strong scents that spiders find horrible are actually some of the more pleasant for humans, making it a bonus for adding a fresh lift to the air in rooms. If peppermint is not your favourite, consider some of these alternatives: - Eucalyptus - Citrus - Lavender - Cinnamon and Tea Tree - Cedar - Chestnuts In the Amazon reviews, one shopper who bought the Peppermint Spider PestSpray from Amazon said: "We have a lot of big spiders in our garage and I always fear that they will come into the house. I sprayed this liberally around the door and behind our two fridges and, since spraying, I haven't seen a spider in the garage." Another wrote: "I've been using this spray on my front door to stop spiders coming into the house [and] I can definitely say it has made a difference. The house was full of cellar spiders before and I was taking them out everyday but, since using the spray, they've stopped coming in. I apply it once a week. It's a nice smell, so no complaints from the postie or visitors." A third commented: "Very effective spray! Highly recommend this if you struggle with constant spiders!" Meanwhile, another added: "Leaving the back door open invited some large spiders in, but after spraying along the base of the door, we haven't seen any trying to get in." Not everyone was won over, however, as some customers reported they had "still got spiders coming into the house". One disgruntled shopper suggested they "may as well being using water", while another added: "Half a bottle later and no difference, still spiders. Waste of money!". Despite a few negative experiences, the vast majority of buyers were satisfied and noticed a significant improvement. One glowing five-star review read: "Seems to be working. We've had windows open during the recent hot spell and normally we get spiders in the house [but] with this peppermint spray, not one!"
