How to Prevent Spiders on Your Boat Dock
Many spiders are non-venomous and do not bite unless they are attacked first. Yet, seeing a spider puts a ghastly fear into our minds. You can prevent dock spiders using one or more methods outlined below.
- Power Washing: Investing in a DIY power washer is a good idea if you want to keep the dock clean and keep pests like spiders away. Power washing is quick and easy, and on top of giving your space a nice, clean appeal, it removes any spiders that have currently built webs or that have hidden in cracks and crevices.
- Dichotomous Earth: An extremely inexpensive product found at many local home improvement stores around Pell City, Dichotomous Earth is extremely effective in getting rid of spiders -and using it is super easy. Just sprinkle the powder around your boat deck and inside cracks that could hide spider eggs.
- Clean the Dock With Industrial Products: A bleach-like mixture is one of a few different options to clean the deck with. Insecticidal soaps also work wonders in eliminating spiders.
- Use a Spider Control Misting System: An automatic misting system is the easiest way to continuously control spiders and other pests around your lake home and boat dock.
