Natural Anti Spider Spray

I'm sharing this in the interest of family peace and tranquility, being the parent of children who are a bit phobic about spiders in the house (and especially if they find their way into children's bedrooms). Check out the Gorgeously Green website for more great ideas. http://www.gorgeouslygreen.com/

Q. " I was hoping you could give my family and I some advice about spiders. At the moment, we are trying to decide what to do about the spiders that enjoy taking up residence in our house. We feel rather conflicted because we know that spiders are good to have around, but we are getting tired of walking around with bites. Being that I am very allergic to insect bites, this is getting to be a bit of a problem for me. ? ??If you have any suggestions about safe and environmentally safe measures we can take to limit the number of spiders in our household, we would be eternally grateful.

A. Spiders don?t like Citrus. They smell through their feet, so I?ve found this spray to be really effective.

Spider Spray

1 small sprayer (8 or 16 oz will work)
6-8 oz distilled water
20 drops of orange essential oil
20 drops of lemon essential oil

Pour all the ingredients into the sprayer and spray where spiders are most likely to hang out!
