Kitchen cupboard item can keep spiders at bay as they multiply in UK homes
As spiders continue to invade UK homes and seem to pop up in every corner, an expert has issued some sound advice on the item you probably already have in your kitchen that will keep these beasts at bay.
An expert advises on using readily available household items to deter spiders, which are more prevalent in UK homes from late August to October. Methods include using cinnamon sticks for their strong scent, switching to warm-colored light bulbs to attract fewer insects, creating essential oil sprays with peppermint or lavender, and growing pest-repelling plants like mint and lavender near entry points.

- Cinnamon sticks can be placed in various areas of the home as a strong-smelling deterrent.
- Switching to warm-white or colored LED light bulbs may attract fewer insects, thus fewer spiders.
