The warmer weather is here, and inevitably brings out all kinds of undesirable bugs. But there’s one common household pest we can’t seem to be rid of — spiders.

It seems like no matter how hard we try to get rid of spiders, we’ll spot another hiding in a dark corner or space somewhere.

And if your first instinct is to squish these crawlies on sight, you’ll need to think twice. According to pest experts, you should never squash spiders in your home, or you’ll risk creating an infestation in your home. So what can you do instead?

Luckily, we’ve spotted some great spider repellent deals to pick up for Amazon Prime Day — so you can finally banish eight-legged pests for good.
