Deter bugs, especially spiders, from entering your home with white vinegar.

All you have to do is mix water with the vinegar in a spray bottle and spray around the edges of your windows, both inside and out (if possible).

As Natural Living Ideas explains: “As vinegar contains acetic acid that harms them, using a diluted vinegar solution will help you to safely and successfully repel the eight-legged creatures.”

Alternatively, if you don’t have any vinegar, a few drops of peppermint into a spray with water will have the same effect.
