The TikTok-Approved Tool You Need To Get Rid Of Spider Webs Around Your Home

Making your house clean is a top priority if you want to live a stress-free, hygienic life. Some people focus on cleaning the floors and furniture but forget to pay attention to the ceilings as well. It's no surprise either — ceilings can be quite high. Spiders are notorious for creeping their way into your home and giving you frightful jumps each time you set eyes on them. They're the culprits responsible for weaving intricate webs on those hard-to-reach ceilings, webs that collect dust and take away from the beauty of the room. Annoyingly, angled brooms don't exactly make the greatest cobweb-removal utensils. This is why one TikTok-approved tool, the cobweb duster, is so efficient. It's an extendable rounded brush that comes in handy, not just for wiping off webs, but ensuring that the spiders don't return.

While some may argue that you shouldn't kill home spiders, what with their useful gorging on bugs and household pests, most of us would rather not have them around at all. Unfortunately, getting rid of cobwebs using the cobweb duster won't be enough to keep spider pests off of your property for good. They'll still return as long as your home is convenient for them to live in and find food. Pest control company Green Mango Pest Control revealed a neat hack via their TikTok page that is sure to keep spiders away from your ceilings, and all you need is the right anti-spider pesticide.

Spray the pesticide onto the brush before swiping at cobwebs

The cobweb duster is the perfect tool to reach those high ceilings and clear away the dusty cobwebs that decorate them. Its round bristles allow you to twirl the brush and capture every bit of the cobwebs. Destroying cobwebs, however, doesn't discourage the eight-legged arachnids. By applying some pesticide onto the bristles of the duster and cleaning with it, you give yourself more of a fighting chance. Make sure to run the saturated duster across the ceilings and corners often enough to keep the spiders away.

You can get the extendable cobweb duster for just $15 on Amazon. This design comes with two different duster heads for extra convenience when cleaning different types of ceiling corners. The duster is also bendable and made of microfiber while the pole extends a distance of up to 110 inches.

When choosing an insecticide, it's important to find one that's effective and yet won't put you and your household in harm's way in terms of toxicity. The $20 Nature-Cide All Purpose insecticide is perfect because it is made of 100% natural ingredients such as clove and cottonseed oils. It won't harm your loved ones or the environment as long as it's used correctly. Try it out on a section of the wall first to be sure it won't damage it before using it to get rid of spiders and ensure they don't come back.
