Spiders On Housings

hi all,

i have a real problem on a site with spiders making webs across the housing lens windows. there is two camera's with built in ir's and one standard housing with no ir's.

the site is a horse riding stables, so lots of fresh manure and urine to attract flies, not that they don't clean it up asap. the flies are an obvious plentiful food chain for spiders - so the breed by the billions.

tried grease, vasiline barriers and insecticides. the little blighter's move right back in as soon as you clean the housings, even before you get th ladder down :realmad: .

so the only solution seems fit a wiper or wash wiper, noe looking for a supplier who can remedy this problem

something from your rusty tin Alan maybe, or maybe get undressed in front of them, with the light on, and as a last resort may i suggest a shotgun, one shot and they will not have anywhere to gmake their webs. :whistle:

this may seem dafter, but what about an introduction of a female spider to eat them all, apart from this Alan it seems like you have tried everything else.

Are they making webs across the housing with no IR's? does this housing have a heater?.

Try replacing with vandal domes ;)

I've heard that wd40 works wonders.

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

hi mjw,

will they work on external housings? as not in a confined space + damp during rain or dew.

challenge them to a game and if they lose they have to find somewhere else to hide
