Attics
Undisturbed and full of hiding spots
Attics are quiet, dry, and rarely visited — exactly what spiders look for. Place pouches near the access hatch, along rafters, and around any stored boxes or bins.
Recommended: 2–4 pouches
THE SCIENCE
Proven by Science: Maximum Spider Protection
Backed by more than 15 years of research, Fresh Cab® combines a proprietary blend of botanical oils spiders naturally avoid — embedded in our signature breathable pouch. A clean, plant-based deterrent you can place and forget: no spraying, no traps, no mess.
Rosemary Oil
Proven to deter spiders by disrupting their sensory receptors and reducing their ability to build webs.
Lemongrass Oil
Creates a protective scent barrier that spiders avoid.
Citronella Oil
Acts as an effective deterrent by interfering with spiders' natural behavior patterns.
Proprietary Essential Oil Blend
Enhances the performance of our key oils, maximizing repellency and ensuring broader, more consistent coverage.
Corn Cob (100% U.S. Farm-Grown)
A stable base for slow-release diffusion, delivering continuous protection for up to 30 days per pouch.
HOW TO USE
Simply Place & Protect
No setup, no mixing, no mess. Fresh Cab® starts deterring spiders the moment you open the pouch.
1
Place in Problem Areas
Remove the pouch from its overwrap and place in garages, basements, sheds, attics, storage rooms, closets, and vehicles — anywhere spiders tend to settle.
2
Better Coverage = Better Results
Use one pouch for small areas; add more in larger spaces or spots with visible spider activity until you get the results you want.
3
Replace Every 30 Days
For continuous protection, replace pouches once a month — or when the herbal scent begins to fade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
From ingredients and safety to how many pouches you need.
It's formulated to deter spiders — and because the same botanical scent repels many of the small insects spiders feed on, it helps make the whole area less inviting to them. For other pests, EarthKind makes targeted plant-based deterrents for rodents, ants and cockroaches, moths, and mosquitoes as well.
Yes — same plant-based formula, new name. It's now part of the Fresh Cab® family so all of our botanical pest deterrents are easy to find in one place. The rosemary, lemongrass, and citronella blend, the corn cob pouch, and the up-to-30-day duration are unchanged.
Up to 30 days in most environments. In high-traffic or well-ventilated areas you may want to refresh sooner; replace whenever the herbal scent noticeably diminishes.
Anywhere you've seen spiders — or want to prevent them. Common spots include garages, basements, attics, closets, storage areas, and vehicles, plus quiet corners near windows and doors. As a general rule, use one pouch per 8 sq. ft. for targeted protection.
Yes — Fresh Cab® Spider Deterrent is made from plant-based ingredients and is safe to use in homes with kids and pets when used as directed. Placing pouches in a Pouch Pod adds extra protection from curious children and animals who might try to chew on them.
Sprays kill on contact but evaporate quickly and can leave residue behind; traps mean dead-bug cleanup. Fresh Cab does neither — it uses plant oils to make the area undesirable, so spiders move along on their own. No kill, no traps, no cleanup.
Give the pouches a few days to fully diffuse. If you're not seeing improvement after a week, try adding more pouches — especially in larger or well-ventilated rooms — and make sure they're placed close to the activity, not across the room. And if it's still not working for you, our 100% money-back guarantee has you covered.
