Topic: Spiders on security cameras
Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #19,649
Spiders keep building webs on my cameras and I have to take them off to see shit at night. This is becoming a pain in the fucking ass. How do I keep the little bastards off my property?

I'm not replacing the damn cameras due to this issue. Seems like this is my best bet, but it's expensive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmge2-jVtJA

You could put some kind of tray just below the camera. Load it up with fresh living insects. Keeping insects in with spider access could be a fun project. You could also rig up a cheep windshield like wiper. Toy motor cheep kind of thing.

pellet gun. shoot them all, and then you're done mount their bodies on toothpicks across the top of the fence as a warning to other spiders.

I use mine for the express purpose of viewing my pet spiders. That's what they're for, right?

@322,184 (C) is the best way, but if you don't want to replace the cameras your best bet would be to sandpaper the the bits wherever the spiderwebs usually attach to. This makes the surface unsuitable for building a web, and they'll go elsewhere.

Just hit Google to look for prevention "stuff"
"Cobweb Eliminator" is the only patented product formulated to eliminate, clean and inhibit the reformation of spider webs. Cobweb Eliminator leaves a residue that continues to damper a spiders web adhesive properties. It discourages reformation by keeping spider webs from ever being constructed. Cobweb Eliminator may be applied to wood, painted surfaces, vinyl, fiberglass, concrete and masonry where spider control is needed and will not stain.

I forgot to add - People on web say WD-40 works.
WD-40's main ingredients, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are:
51% Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits: primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene)
25% Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability)
15+% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil)
10-% Inert ingredients
