Peppermint Spray on Amazon Said to Deter Spiders During UK’s Peak Season
Amazon’s Peppermint Spider Pest Spray, priced from £9.99, is praised by many shoppers for keeping spiders out of homes during September’s peak spider activity.
During the height of the UK’s so-called spider season, consumers are turning to a peppermint-based spray sold on Amazon for as little as £9.99 per 250 ml bottle. Reviewers largely commend the product for reducing spider sightings after weekly applications around doors and windows, describing the scent as pleasant for people but overwhelming for the arachnids’ sensory organs. The manufacturer describes the formula as an eco-friendly, non-lethal alternative to conventional insecticides, a claim echoed by pest-control firm EFA International.
Comparable peppermint repellents are stocked at retailers like B&Q and Tesco, though a minority of buyers report no noticeable effect. The article also lists other strong aromas—eucalyptus, citrus, lavender, cinnamon, tea tree, cedar and chestnuts—that spiders reportedly avoid, offering shoppers additional options.
Why it matters
Homeowners seeking safe, chemical-free ways to manage seasonal spider invasions can consider affordable peppermint sprays.
