Homemade Non-Toxic DIY Spider Repellent

I don’t know about you but I am sure finding a lot of creepy crawly spiders in my house.  I blame the crazy Colorado winter and lets be real, my house is pretty cool.  Hey, I love visitors in my super cool home but NOT these visitors.  I needed to find a way to get these little guys to stay away and BE GONE but I wanted to do it with out chemicals because of the kids and the cats.  I started doing some research and found out that spiders are not a fan of peppermint or soap!  Boom!  This I can create!
 

What you will need:

Spray Bottle
15 drops Peppermint Oil
1 tsp Dish Soap (free and clear)
Water
Adorable Spider Repellent printable

    I used peppermint oil to get rid of ants. It is great for so much!

    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.

    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 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.

    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???

    • Perfectly_Imperfect says

      It is VERY effective! I have not seen one spider since I sprayed this. I just reapply every few weeks.

    Sounds great, but have always been told essential oils need to go in glass bottles.
