The experts suggest using the spray to create a scent barrier that spiders won’t want to cross. They write: “Start where spiders love to test the perimeter.
“Spritz lightly, let it kiss the surface, and move on. Think perimeter, then pockets. A fine mist is enough; puddles invite smudges.
“Skip varnished or polished wood—vinegar can dull the sheen over time. For those spots, spray a cloth first, or choose another spider deterrent. Keep the routine tiny and repeatable, and you’ll actually stick with it.”
They highlight patios and garden paths as key areas that should be sprayed regularly, either weekly or after rainfall. While this may prevent these creepy crawlies from entering your home, it’s still worth spraying inside, too.
Door frames, baseboards, and window ledges are popular entry points for spiders, so it’s important to spray these areas lightly.
Another area that shouldn’t be missed is under the sofa and radiators. Just give these a sweep first before spraying. You may also want to spray your bathroom corners and wardrobe floors.
