Spiders? Repel Them Naturally!

Anyone who knows me knows that I do not care for spiders one bit.  Even though a friend once told me that when I kill a spider, the spider spirits are coming after me.  I wonder at times if he was kidding or maybe had a few wires crossed?  Either way, I'm NOT catching them and letting them go in the wild to return to my home.  I will kill them, BAM!

I much prefer to have spiders just stay away, and recently learned of a non-toxic, natural way to keep spiders at bay.

Lemon Essential Oil is a natural spider repellent, because, as research indicated, spiders 'taste' through their feet and do not like citrus one bit.  This likely leads folks to believe the myth that lemon furniture polish works, but that is only due to the surface being slick. Once it dries they will return.  But the lemon oil will last up to a week before you need to spritz areas again.

Get a clean spray bottle and mix one quart of water with 1 tablespoon of Lemon Essential Oil.  Always shake well before spraying to mix the oil with the water.  Now periodically spray around the laundry room, around windows and doors, anywhere spiders might be hanging out.  The better the quality and purity of the oil, the better it will work.  I recommend SwissJust Essential Oils as they are 100%, pure pharmaceutical-grade. 

Lemon Essential Oil is a benefit to humans too!  It lifts your spirits, inspires, improves your focus and can release unblocked energy.  It can help create a cheerful, positive environment. Not to mention it smells fresh and tangy.
