When it comes to how to get rid of spiders in your home, having a catcher like this is perfect for panic-free harmless captures. This one is telescopic and can reach up to a metre. It uses gentle bristles to trap the spider/moth/daddy-long legs without hurting them and can be cleaned easily after each use.
Peppermint oil is one of the best natural pest deterrents and is one of the top solutions recommended by pest control experts. You can mix it with water and spray the solution around windows and doors, or leave drops of it near any possible openings in your home. This should put off spiders, moths, flies, beetles and even ants.
Keeping mice out of your house can be a real challenge which is why prevention is key. Ensuring your home has minimal gaps and crevices for the animals to squeeze through is the most efficient way. This steel wool is perfect for that, it's flexible, can fit anywhere and mice or rats won't bite through it.
Whilst you may love having as much wildlife in your garden as possible, pigeons and magpies can sometimes seem like more of a pest with their behaviour and toilet habits. Using a reflective and harmless deterrent like this one will prevent birds from entering your space and keep your furniture poo-free.
Whilst there are natural sprays that can help put off rodents, using a stronger concentrated version like this can be more effective. This one is safe for both humans and animals, it's chemical-free, non-toxic, and made from caster and peppermint oil. You'll need to use it regularly to keep its preventative effects up.
Similar to why steel wool is great to have on hand, a silicone sealant is ideal for the smaller crevices and is even more long-lasting. We'd recommend using this around outdoor graces and air vents as even the smallest gap can let a mouse or rat in. Additionally, this is a handy way to keep your house warm by sealing up said gaps.
Of course, staying on top of cleaning and decluttering your home is the easiest way to stop unwelcome pests from making themselves at home. But at least with the expert recommended pest control solutions you are armed and ready for whatever unwanted guests arrive.
Once you've dealt with the unwanted pests in your life, why not concentrate on more indulgent treats such as the best Kérastase shampoo for every hair type or our editor-recommended cosy home essentials to make your home cosy this season?
