    When I moved into this old house was spider infested. I got out the caulk gun and filled every crack and crevice I could find, did around all the windows, baseboards, crown moulding, door trims. I am happy to say I only get a couple every year.

    Hi Pam, You could make a solution to keep spiders out of your house. You make it by combining 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, one teaspoon of oil, one cup of black pepper and a teaspoon of liquid soap. Put this solution in a spray bottle and spray it anywhere that the spiders have access into your home. Repeat once a week.

    Spray an insecticide outdoors at least twice a year. Fewer spiders outside means fewer indoors. If they continue inside, use a bomb.
