Why Vicks Works Wonders to Keep Spiders Out of Your Home

Take a small amount of Vicks VapoRub and place it on cotton balls or cotton pads.

Position the cotton balls along window sills, door frames, baseboards, and any areas where spiders tend to enter or congregate.

For a longer-lasting effect, you can place the cotton balls inside small containers or jars with holes to allow the scent to diffuse gradually.

Replace the cotton balls with fresh ones every 1–2 weeks, or when the scent fades.

Optionally, rub a thin layer of Vicks directly onto door frames and window sills for more direct contact.
