I am going crazy cleaning up from bugs and spiders on my dock. I think I spend more time cleaning than fishing. Anyone have any ideas of what to use here to make them move?
Thanks

Dicko get you a small misting system, they have timers that you can set for different spray times a day. Also you can get "natural" repellantt mix that they use

Spiders and dirt dobbers sure can ruin your weekend I'm like the OP spend more time cleaning than fishing. I have used viper with some success on spiders, but have found nothing for the dobbers

Chickens love spiders, but they poop everywhere.

Spiders won't hurt you and they love roaches. Dobbers usually just ignore you. Take a cornbroom down there and use it to knock down webs in the way. And you can check watermelons too.
Cast I have a short attention spa

Removing spider chit from your boat is like trying to remove a tattoo.

A veteran owner advised me to get a spray bottle and mix in some essential peppermint oil and a little dishwater soap. Lines and contact points should be sprayed. I have been doing it for a few weeks now, and it does seem to help.

With the misting systems, water quality is everything, if you have poor water, forget it, you will have them replacing nozzles in 3 months and then every 3 months after. I know a guy that does them near me and he wont bid on houses that have well water, its a waste of time, even his best nozzles clog up in 3 months or less.
But demon will kill them and everything else with an exoskeleton.
