Remove the food source and the spiders will go. They frequent certain places because the hunting is good.

Speaking of, is there something natural that I could spray or put out to deter spiders from setting up shop in my place? I dont want to kill them or anything, and also know they are usually helpful in eating mosquitos and such but there are certain places in my apartment I want them to stay the fuck away from forever, like my bedroom.

Nothing you can buy in a store is natural. You can get things that will deter/kill insects that aren’t toxic to humans, like peppermint extract, but I don’t think calling something that humans pressed and processed from a plant that was grown, cultivated, and bred by humans “natural” makes any sense. Most plants produce their own insecticides, so make a list of your favorite herb/flower scents, check which ones work/are available, and go to town.

Lavender oil, drop some oil in a spray bottle with water. I love the shit so I dump the oil in there but a table spoon will do. Also useful for ticks on hikes around your ankles.
