    Hi guys,

    Got my nicely infrared cameras and extenders working fine but i cant see a flipping thing apart of the spider web and insects moving on it,at night being the worse.Probable the warm side of the case keeps them comfy ...

    Looking for some of long stick brush or sprays or another spider_antispider type of insect...

    What do you use, how do you manage it,please !!?

    Thanks

    I went nuclear on it. Permethrin at 40% brought in from the States. Diluted down to about 2% and sprayed around the approaches to the cameras. The bottle should do for life.

    It's oily enough stuff and it's unpleasant so read the warnings well if you choose it. On the flip side you're pretty much guaranteed bug free for half a year where you treat.

    Spider x is good for this, can be got in Northwood.

    The gap between the cover hood and the camera body is just perfect for the little critters to bed in. The overhang of the protruding hood gives a great anchor point for a web. So I just made sure my cameras were never pointed directly into the sunlight and removed the hood. Problem solved for me.
