Several Ways to Eliminate Spiderwebs from Your Motorhome
We always want the interior of our motorhome to look clean and tidy, and one of the things that make it look dirty is spider webs hanging in every corner. Although the spider helps to reduce the number of insects in your vehicle, it is still not wanted because the webs can become a problem, especially when they start falling into food or covering the face or clothes.
This article will outline some ways to get rid of those 8-legged vermin, ensuring the tidiness of your motorhome van; some of them are:
- Vacuum cleaning: This is one of the easiest ways of ridding yourself of spider webs. It simply involves using vacuum cleaners to suck away the webs and spiders and then emptying them into the rubbish bin outside your RV.
- Long-handled dusters: This is a very effective tool for cleaning hard-to-reach places in the RV, dusters with long handles are designed for clearing cobwebs and dusting hard-to-reach areas; thus, they cannot be used to kill spiders.
- Web dissolving sprays: Spider webs are not strong, which is why web dissolving sprays are an effective solution to spider webs. With a single spray of the dissolving solution, Motorhome owners can get rid of cobwebs in their living space. These sprays can be made in your home using water, vinegar, coconut oil, lemon juice, and diatomaceous earth. Mixing any of these things with water makes an effective spray.
- Essential oil: These essential oils are one thing that spiders do not like and can be used to keep the spiders away. An added advantage of these oils is that they are potent spider killers and can also be used to dissolve their webs. Some of the best essential oils that can be used against spiders include tea tree, peppermint, lavender, cinnamon, cedar, and lemon oils.
- Duct tape on paint roller: This is a straightforward yet effective way of getting rid of spider webs. It involves rolling duct tape, which is an efficient web cleaner, on a paint roller to reach the ceiling easily, and then after clearing the webs, roll off the duct tape and dispose of it.
These are five ways to help you get rid of spider webs, but unless you get to the root of the problem, you will always have spider webs to clean. Hence, to stop the occurrence of spider webs and keep your RV van interior clean, we have to look at some tips to prevent spiders from getting into your RV.
- Ensure a bug-free environment: Spiders are drawn to food, which is why they find their way into your vehicle; other insects are food to spiders; thus, address issues of an infestation in your motorhome. This can be done by fumigating and addressing unclean habits, like storing trash for long periods.
- Seal windows and vents: Insects enter the RV through tiny openings in your windows and vents; thus, inspect for these openings and seal them shut.
- Use scented deterrents: This will keep other insects that attract spiders at bay.
- Use ultrasonic devices: Sound pitched down to specific frequencies is annoying to insects; thus, you want to acquire devices that produce these sounds.
