Cleaning
One of the home remedies to get rid of these creepy visitors is to do it the old-school way with some gloves and a broom, well maybe not necessarily a broom. The idea is to clean the house and get rid of their webs and eggs at every corner of the house they may have made a home, on the bright side when you are done you end up with a clean spider free home. Spiders often make their webs in corners of houses that are not visited often; top of shelves, angled wall edges, around vents, and so on.
Citrus Extracts
Spiders generally hate the smell of citrus. Peels of citrus fruits like lime, lemon, orange, etc. can be made into powder and put at spider-prone places to drive them away, making a spray of citrus fruits and water or citrus flavored soaps can be sprayed using a spray bottle in places where there is a need to ward off spiders.
Using The Right Oils
Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, lavender oil are all spider repellents and can be used as a home remedy for spiders around the home, simply sprinkle a few drops of any of these oils at strategic places to keep spiders away from making a home in these places. Alternatively, the oils can be mixed with vinegar and used as a spray.
Cooking Spices

Using them as a home remedy involves sprinkling them around spider-infested areas, and spraying around webs and on their eggs.
