The “El Mueble” page offers some recommendations to simplify this task and ensure that spiders disappear from your home for good. ▪️Vacuum up cobwebs and nests with the long tube of the vacuum cleaner, especially on ceilings, walls, corners and hard-to-reach nooks. ▪️Use a long stick with a damp cloth or a mop to remove cobwebs, as moisture makes them easier to remove. ▪️Spray a mixture of water and white vinegar (equal parts) in the places where nests and cobwebs usually appear. This liquid prevents them from returning. ▪️If the nest is outside, you can remove them with a hose and increase the water pressure to remove them quickly.

Their presence represents more discomfort than risk, and there are several methods to exterminate them.
