If you’re on a budget, you can nab a bottle for as cheap as £2.49 on Amazon.
Not only is peppermint oil great for getting rid of pesky spiders, but this cleaning whizz also swore by another hack. And luckily for you, it’s totally free.
So if you haven’t had a good clear out for a while, you’ll need to pay attention.
The social media user shared: “We also make sure we’re regularly decluttering storage areas to minimise places for them to hide and always keeping it clean.”
As well as this, if your garden is a mess, it turns out that this can cause spiders to enter your home.
The TikToker then claimed: “We trim back any vegetation near the perimeter of the house as spiders use them as pathways indoors.”
The clip, which was posted under the username @purdyandfigg, has clearly left many stunned, as it has quickly amassed 16,000 views.
However, much to the cleaning fan’s surprise, many people took to the comments to share their thoughts on spiders.
One person said: “Love spiders.”
Another added: “Spiders are ok. I leave them be.”
A third commented: “No! Then you get dirty flies as there’s no spiders to eat them.”
In response, the cleaning whizz later wrote: “Some people are scared, so this is for them.”
