I started doing some research and found out that spiders are not a fan of peppermint or soap! Boom! This I can create!

I used peppermint oil to get rid of ants. It is great for so much!
Sounds like a great natural repellent, I have all those ingredients at home – perfect for camping!
We don't have a spider problem but we do have an ant problem in the summer. they are annoying little buggers.
I am definitley trying this. We have tons of spiders because we live near the woods.
Such a great idea! Mixing some up this weekend to try out. My kids will be thrilled (they're tired of finding spiders in the house)
We just have the ocassional spider, but my son is terrified of them! An actual infestation would be awful.
We do have problems with spiders from time to time and this is really good info to have. I am going to try this. Thanks!
Will have to try this. We have some now and then.
What a great (smelling) idea! All of my household cleaning products are non-toxic, so I really like this option to get rid of the creepy crawly types without causing potential harm to people and pets.
I absolutely love this recipe! I'll be using it at home! ASAP
I love that this is non-toxic and natural. I don't want spiders creeping or crawling around my house, but I don't want to douse it in chemicals either. This is a great homemade option!
I am so hapy I read this. I have a spider problem and needed this solution. I have children and pets so a non-toxic option is great.

Having kids myself, this is something i'd like to try, especially in the spring when we seem to get more spiders inside
What size is your spray bottle?
I was also wondering what size the spray bottle is – I can't tell from the picture.
I have a 2 year old and I keep finding little spider bites on him and finding spiders in his room. would it be okay to spray this on his pillows, and sheets?
How often do you have to spry to keep the spiders away?
why is the soap needed? if they don't like the EO, do we need the soap?
Has anyone else now tried this? Has it been effective???
It is VERY effective! I have not seen one spider since I sprayed this. I just reapply every few weeks.
How often do you repeat this?
Sounds great, but have always been told essential oils need to go in glass bottles.
I am totally petrified of spiders – I am going to try this.
This sounds like such a good spray I need to try making it I hate spiders
