Don't create a 'cozy' hiding spot that spiders love to feed and nest in by forgetting to vacuum this part of your home this month

A bright living room with white walls, wooden cabinetry and a stone mantelpiece with a horse artwork above. Behind, through an open hallway, a kitchen is seen with bench seating and a kitchen island.

With the peak of spider season upon us, there's one area of your home that experts recommend cleaning as soon as possible – your baseboards.

As they explain, this spot commonly houses undisturbed eight-legged inhabitants, where they're able to hide, breed, keep their eggs safe, and find food. Therefore, banishing them from these corners and crevices will reduce the number of spiders that pop up in your home.
