Spiders and Decking

Mar 29, 2009 28 Replies

Thanks for the replies folks - its more SWMBO who really wants rid of them. Its only March and when she walks out on the deck on a sunny day, the blighters are everywhere, sunning themselves! Gives our niece a bit of a game to play right enough, she has yet to catch one, but never gives up trying.

The only thing I can think of is to introducer some heat. A spider might consider it to be a predator and move away from the camera.

Depends how big the spiders are I spose. Those with legs longer than 10mm will stroll across, the shorter ones will abseil.

The cameras are very small and have six infrared LEDs. I imagine they would be warm as they consume a few watts.

A few less after tomorrow ...

Can't they pass a quick law to fix that? In my pikey country we pass retrospective laws whenever necessary!

It looks like someone has just looked at the numbers (of the camera pixels) without actually understanding what they mean.

Set fire to the deck. They will run away from the heat.
