Keeping spiders out of my room

[Joey]

So I live in a back room outside of the house that's attached to the garage. I have pretty much sealed all connection with the garage and still find spider webs, crickets, earwigs in my room and always wake up with bug bites. My room is an awesome den, but I'm thinking about aborting ship. Any ideas?

Have a pest control professional come treat, then you can use a broom to. help keep spiders under control easier.

Peppermint oil is supposed to be a very good at preventing them coming in. Dilute some pure essential oil in a little alcohol or water and spray away (especially the corners), freshens up your space to.

Lavender works too!
Dont leave anything out.

Pretty darn good stuff.

+1. I'm severely arachnophobic, so we pay for a local company to come out several times a year, and that helps keep them under control fairly well.

If you have spiders, you have other bugs. The spiders are only coming because they can feast on whatever bugs live in your room. Eliminate the bugs, and the spiders will go away.

Get a cat and treat for termites.

Then get a dog to take care of the cat problem

Guess it depends on the cat

Well, if you used that cat, there would be no more bug or spider problem...there might not even be any humans either

So nothing to worry about anymore

I had good luck with Orthodox home defense, no odor, and not very expensive.

Edit...dang autocorrect,

Why waste it? LOL

I had some spiders show up in my room. I had some tea tree oil around, diluted it with some water and sprayed it around the baseboards. haven't seen a spider since. I reapply every so often. Not saying it will work for everyone.

Get some hedge apples, cut them in half, and place them around your room.

Yes, but at what cost?

If you don't have a co-op or feed store locally, you can order Demon WP from Amazon. Not terribly expensive. Use a gallon bug sprayer like you can get from Walmart. I've had extremely good luck with this product.
