Need an easy, home-friendly way to get rid of pesky spiders? How about fleas? No chemicals required! Spiders hate the smell of eucalyptus, so you can either use fresh eucalyptus anywhere you normally see those eight-legged critters, or put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in corners and around baseboards. Give your arachnids a phobia!
As for fleas, plug a green-colored nightlight into an outlet and place a bowl of soapy water underneath it at night. In the morning flush the water - and the fleas.
