6 spider repellent plants

 6 spider repellent plants for your indoor garden



1. Pepper


Peppermint is a popular and powerful insect repellent, which smells wonderful. However, this is not just for bugs! Pepper repels other pests like spiders with its unique scent, preventing them from inhabiting your home or garden area where you prefer quiet living spaces instead of pest problems.


2. Basil



Basil is a popular addition to home gardens because of its strong aroma. Scientists have found that the oil from this herb is not only effective in repelling insects but is also versatile and effective when applied to your skin.


So, if you want to easily prevent annoying crawlers, get a basil plant for your indoor space!


3. Lavender


Lavender is a traditional purple perennial plant that can be used in the home garden. It has many health benefits for people, and while its aroma may seem pleasant to people, it will prevent pests from entering your home! Lavender is a bit tricky to grow indoors, but it is not impossible. The trick is in the good airflow it needs. If you want to keep your lavender alive and healthy, it seems like it needs good air circulation.


This can be done by opening the windows frequently or by using a swinging fan!


Focus on other insects

Since spiders are known to eat insects, you can try the following approach and focus on making other bugs less attractive as food for them. When there is nothing left in their favorite food (insects), these creatures will eventually move on their own!


4. Citronella


Citronella is commonly used to repel mosquitoes, but its fresh lemon scent works best for all purposes. The scent will repel flies and other insects that may want to feed or stay in your home - which means less spider area!



5. Lemon balm


This plant is popular for use in herbal teas, but you can also enjoy the leaves in your own time. The flowers are edible and repel common pests such as fruit flies.


This houseplant will thrive even in direct sunlight or sunlight!


6. Chrysanthemum


The insect repellent compounds in chrysanthemums are called pyrethrin, and they have been found to be an effective natural insecticide that looks like something that can help with your annoying bugs, right? Keep them away by watering their flowers well, but do not put them in too much sun somewhere or they will stop blooming soon!


You need to know what else

Spiders are usually found in dark, quiet corners. The best place to place your houseplant is near enough light so it will be healthy and happy! Hanging baskets are a great way to keep your plants away from annoying ceiling corners. You can also adopt active strategies such as planting near nets or strategically placing vines in certain areas, so spiders who do not like anything other than prey snacks will not be able to access them! To get rid of the annoying pests, you can crush the fragrant leaves and rub their strong oil on the corners or groin where the spiders are having trouble. Dried lavender is also an option for this purpose.


Are spiders dangerous?


Spiders are often considered insects, but not many of the dangerous ones you can find in your home. In fact, they are more likely to leave an itch "bite bite" than harmful!


Are spiders harmful to plants?


Although watching spiders at home can feel like screaming, do not forget that they play an important role. They catch and destroy annoying flies like fruit-eating insect species like houseflies or crane flies! A spider may seem scary at first glance, but it can actually do more good than harm by keeping these pests under control. However, if spiders multiply in large numbers around your house they will definitely be a problem. So, keep things in perspective before declaring war on them!

If your feed is anything like mine, you will receive regular updatesmGardening information every time you look at your phone. Manyn These articles, memes and posts are mostly good or at least harmless. But some ideas that keep popping up are useless or dangerous to you or your plants. Here are some ridiculous social media myths we should all avoid sharing 1. Oil and vinegar kill weeds. Homemade herbicides have been making the rounds on social media since I first got on Facebook 15 years ago. All of the household herbicides you see include vinegar or oils that kill plants more quickly and "naturally" than something like Roundup.

Of course, very small plants can be killed completely, but this is the exception rather than the rule. A final The problem with vinegar and oil is that they are extremely dangerous to a
