Here’s the Zen part: you can’t stop every spider. One or two will always sneak in, because they’re tiny ninjas with eight pairs of ninja shoes. But if you’ve sealed cracks, cleaned up, and used some minty warfare, you’ll see way fewer. And honestly, most spiders are harmless—they eat mosquitoes and flies. So if you see one in the corner, you can give it a quiet “nice try, buddy” and show it the door. Or, you know, scream and run. No judgment here.
So go ahead, grab that caulk and Peppermint oil. You’ve got this. And if all else fails? Move to Antarctica. I hear it’s spider-free. (Probably.)
