How to Get Rid of Spiders: The BugMD Method

Spiders aren’t typically drawn to your home for food scraps — they come inside chasing the insects you don’t see. The key to keeping them out is removing their hiding spots, cutting off their food supply, and creating scent barriers they naturally avoid.

Here’s the simple 3-step method that helps keep spiders away long term:

Step 1: Repel Spiders From Entry Points

Use Essential Pest Control

Your walls, baseboards, door frames, and window edges are the “highways” spiders use to move around your home.
Spraying Essential Pest Control along these areas helps create a strong plant-powered barrier spiders instinctively avoid.

Spray around:

Baseboards
Doorways and window frames
Corners of rooms
Behind furniture
Closet edges
Storage areas

This makes your home far less inviting and disrupts the routes spiders use to set up webs.

👉 Think of this step as shutting down the main paths spiders use to enter and explore your space.

Step 2: Remove What Keeps Spiders Comfortable(Supports the BugMD treatments — not alternative solutions.)

Spiders love dark, quiet spaces where they can build webs undisturbed. These quick actions help reduce hiding spots:

Vacuum webs and egg sacs regularly
Reduce clutter in closets, basements, and garages
Keep storage items in sealed bins rather than cardboard
Move woodpiles, debris, and dense foliage away from your home’s foundation

These habits make your home less appealing to spiders and the insects they hunt.

Step 3: Protect Problem Areas With Long-Lasting Repellents

Use Spider Shield

Even after cleaning, spiders often return to the same corners, rafters, and storage zones.
Spider Shield pouches provide up to 30 days of steady, plant-powered protection in these trouble spots.

Place Spider Shield in:

Basements & garages
Closets
Under-sink areas
Behind boxes or storage shelves
Dark corners or attics
Spider-prone rooms or entry points

These natural citronella and lemongrass-powered pouches help repel spiders humanely — perfect if you’d rather keep them away than kill them.

👉 Essential Pest Control builds the barrier. Spider Shield maintains the protection.

Quick Tip!

Spiders can sense vibrations through their webs, which is how they know when prey is caught. Regular cleaning that destroys their webs forces them to rebuild constantly, making your home less appealing.
