We did a job recently for Trinity House & we were talking about the I.R. problem with spiders.

It seems they have some GPS equipment that also has spider problems & they get over it using some type of sticky tape, I assume some type of double sided. Waiting for them to get me some to test.

Many years ago we used to use a very messy tape called denso tape for temporary waterproofing, I don't know how that would work? Not very pretty tho.

Just a thought you can get those battery operated pestaways. The ones that emit a frequency that insects including spiders don

We've used vaseline or WD40 with some sucess, think we may try this next: www.spiderex.com

They're a bl**dy nightmare. Once we've cleaned of all the webs etc they're usually back within a couple of days.

moth balls are the way forward

i find not using cheap horrible cams with built in IR stops the problem

Blu tack works wonders too. Seal every hole!

cctv oxo?

Works on anything, stop being pedantic............. ( For internal attacks,as in egress to the interior of the equipment) Blimey its ISO night and cross the t`s and dot the I`s. Now i know why it was such a PITA

There is a spray from most supermarkets that is for ants ect and thats good, unless its washed off all the time.But it keeps the ikkle ones from growing in the seals.

I tend to find a feather duster on a really long stick works quite well

Please post a video of you using it..............
