Pinterest says: Spiders hate peppermint! Put some peppermint oil in a squirt bottle with a little water and spray your garage, basement, door frames, windows, closets and dark corners.
This season feels particularly spider-friendly to me. Maybe it's the excessive heat and plentiful food supply for our arachnid friends.
While I realize the importance of spiders - mainly to control the population of other pesties, we have been getting bitten.
I'm over it. And, I'm going to try this spray and see whether there's any science to it.
According to the interweb googlemachine, lice, mice and other insects don't like peppermint either.
Has anyone out there tried this? Did you successfully keep spiders at bay? Please post a comment and share your fuss with us.
