It seems each week we're being given a fresh warning about spiders invading our homes.
This might be all fine and no bother for some people, but for others out there, it can be a literal nightmare.
No one really wants to wake up in the morning to find one dangling from the ceiling above their bed or lurking in the shower when they go to wash their hair.
But what can you do about it?
One woman thinks she may have come up with a way to stop the little critters from coming into our houses.
In a post on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a woman named Sylvia shared her rather simple hack.
And the whole thing cost her under £2 to do.
The woman says she discovered that spiders hate the smell of mint and just a whiff of it can send them scurrying off in the other direction.
So she took some mint and put it inside a bottle of anti-bacterial spray.
She then sprayed the stuff all around her house to deter the bugs.
Her post reads: "Had leftover packet of mint and small amount of cleaner left. Chopped mint and added to anti bac cleaner and filled with water.
"Sprayed under window sill outside and around the door. I watched the spiders run as I sprayed. They hate mint right enough. Some people use essential oils but I just thought I would use up what I had."
Her post quickly garnered over 3,000 likes and more than 1,000 comments, with many saying they'd try the hack for themselves.
One person replied: "I will buy some mint next time I go shopping."
Another said: "Will definitely try this."
A third added that the trick also works by spraying water and mint - so you can save yourself some more money and skip buying the anti-bacterial cleaner.
