I hate spiders – my two prong approach will get them out of your home, it’s their food you need to target
A SPIDER phobia has forced one woman to come up with a method to banish them from her home forever.
Her two-pronged approach should have the unwanted visitors legging it.
The secret, she said, is targeting their food supplies.
The tip came from DIY Pest Control (@doityourselfpestcontrol).
This lady’s TikTok is devoted to “everything DIYers need for pest control and lawn care.”
In this post, the focus of her attention was an eight-legged creature that has instilled horror in many.
The reaction of one commenter summed up the lack of affection for arachnids in any form.
“I’m watching the spider that just ran past my face, any quick as f**k solutions.”
DIY Pest Control figured she could help.
“If you hate seeing spiders in your home, there are some simple ways you can manage the population,” she said.
First she explained some common factors that attracted spiders into our homes.
“A huge one is they are coming in for insects and other prey. They really like warm and dark places and moisture.
“That is probably why you find spiders in places like basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms, damp areas [and] cluttered areas.”
But fear not, she assured followers, because she had a remedy for banishing these unwanted creepy crawlies, and this included denying spiders their snack supply.
“First get rid of the spider webs. And then use a professional-grade insecticide to eliminate their food sources, [including insects].”
Her advice gave some sharp focus to commenters.
“Now that I know they live in cluttered areas I want to clean my room,” said one person.
And another wrote: “So dry, bright, clean, cold places are now going to be my favorite places.”
