A WOMAN has revealed the genius way she was able to spider-proof her home now autumn is here. 

Lucy Kalice, who describes herself to be in her “domestic era”, often uses her social media account to share her nifty tips and tricks for the home.

And they’re more likely to be seen in the home until around mid-October. 

For those who are afraid of the eight-legged insects, one woman has devised a way to prevent them from ever entering the home… and it costs just £3.

“I’m trying to spider-proof my house with tea tree oil.”

She went on to explain how peppermint oil is apparently the best thing to use, but she didn’t have any on hand. 

Tea tree oil, according to Lucy, does “the same job” and both oils can be found online from places such as Amazon for as little as £2.

In the caption, TikTok user @lucykalice added: “Gorgeous gorgeous girls spider proof their house in spider season…”

People flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts as one person wrote: “It works!” 

A second posted: “Every strand of hair tickle on my face or neck instantly makes me think there is a spider on me,” to which she replied: “Omg SAME! And apparently we eat spiders in our sleep so that creeps me out”. 

And a third shared: “Saw someone spraying wd40 on their windows and door thresholds so I tried it and no spiders!” 

Another chimed: “Just use WD-40”.

While another added: “WD40 does the same thing”.
