How SpiderEx Can Help You Tackle Spider Season

❗There has been an important product update for SpiderEx. Read more here.

Spider season is in full swing here in the UK. From September until October, spiders are more active around homes and commercial buildings… you may have already spotted a few ‘hanging’ around!

Spiders are more visible at this time of the year because of the change in weather conditions, as well as it being mating season. As the end of summer approaches, spiders look for warmer, drier conditions, which is why you may spot them in houses, sheds, garages, and CCTV systems.

Reduce False Alarm Call Outs

Did you know… Spiders and their cobwebs are one of the most common causes of CCTV false alarms!

According to research by Which News, a whopping 30% of false alarms are triggered by insects.

As spiders look for a warm habitat, they’re attracted to the warm light emitted from CCTV cameras. As they settle in their new found home, they can trigger a false alarm.

If you’re the owner of a CCTV system, or a call-out engineer, you will understand much of a nightmare spiders nesting over cameras can be. False alarm call-outs are expensive and time-consuming, but, with our SpiderEx spray, we have the solution to prevent false alarms, saving you time and money.

What is SpiderEx?

SpiderEx is a spider repellent spray designed to remove spiders and reduce spider infestations, particularly in CCTV Cameras, Camera Housings and Alarm Sensors, as well as Garden Furniture, Houses, Boats and Caravans.

You won’t need a spider catcher as SpiderEx has been specially formulated to help remove spiders and reduce nesting in almost any area it’s sprayed.

Its clear, odourless coating stops spiders and other creepy crawly insects. The spray also works wonders on ants, cockroaches, beetles, centipedes, dog ticks, fleas, flies, silverfish and wasps.

With an overall score of 9.2 on Repellent Guide, it’s the solution for you.

How Does SpiderEx Work?

The heat from the IR on CCTV cameras attracts spiders to nest in and around the CCTV lens. Simply spray SpiderEx 30cm away from the area you wish to apply it to. If using on security equipment, cover the optical surface with a clean cloth whilst applying SpiderEx all around the camera housing.

SpiderEx will deter spiders from all security equipment. Make sure you use gloves and wash your hands after using SpiderEx.

SpiderEx is so easy to use and can last for up to 8 months! Simply spray, leave, and it’s done.

SpiderEx has a full professional and domestic license granted by the HSE (number 8682).

Fun fact – the security industry even uses SpiderEx in the Euro Tunnel.

Reduce CCTV False Alarms During Spider Season with SpiderEx

Autumn is prime spider season; this means you will see more spiders now than any other time of the year. Whether you’re working from home, in the office, or even on site, you will see these creepy crawlies nesting everywhere.

This is also their mating season, which is why you will find spiders throughout your home for the next 2-3 months. These arachnids can cause some problems during spider season, but there are ways you can prevent them.

Increase in False Alarm Call Outs

As the colder months approach, spiders look for habitats where they can keep warm. Your home is a prime area for them, but so are CCTV cameras. The warm light attracts them to nest in the CCTV system, which can trigger false alarms.

Spiders and their cobwebs are one of the most common causes of CCTV false alarms, so if you’re an owner of a CCTV system, or a call-out engineer, you know how much of a nightmare spiders nesting over cameras can be.

We have the solution for you.

Tackling Spiders in the home and on CCTV

Tackling Spiders in the home and on CCTV

Spiders are thriving at the moment in the mild weather according to the BBC. But how can you get rid of them? They are currently looking for shelter and preparing to find a mate and find somewhere warm to stay for the winter months.

How to get rid of Spiders:

It’s peak spider season in early autumn and the best way to control them is to limit their food source according to Rentokil experts.

Here are some of the most common ways to get rid of the pesky critters!

Insecticide

You can spray an insecticide externally around windows and doors as well as inside walls and ceilings concentrating on the wall/floor and wall/ceiling junctions.

To prevent spiders nesting in CCTV cameras spray around the camera base which will then act as a barrier and repelling spiders from crossing and nesting in and around the camera.  This will also prevent false alarms from occurring which is one of the most common reasons for false alarms at this time of year.

Why SpiderEx?

spiderex spray review

Most insecticide sprays don’t last long and the difference with SpiderEx is that it is a lacquer and it stays on the surface area for a few months. It doesn’t leave a sticky or coloured film or mark, it’s a clear formula that is hard to see.

Other methods include:

Spider traps: catch and control light spider infestations.

Declutter your home: spiders will have fewer places to hide if you keep clutter to a minimum. Also, make sure you clean surfaces and vacuum often as bits of food may attract other insects, which could in turn attract spiders.

Keep windows closed: spiders tend to enter houses at night as they aim to look for a warm place once the sun sets to find food and mating opportunities. Closing your windows at night may help to keep them away.

Natural deterrents: spiders detest the smell of citrus fruits, so you could place slices of lemon or lime across your windowsills and doors as a natural bug repellent. You could also use other essential oils such as peppermint, cinnamon or tea tree oil to keep the spiders away. Alternatively, a water and vinegar spray will have a similar effect at deterring spiders.

Wash windows: cleaning windows with ammonia and water helps to prevent the creatures from getting inside.

Fill in gaps: filling in walls, around pipework and under doors can deter entry.

spiderex spray review

how does spiderex work

SpiderEx is the spider repellent spray designed to banish those pesky arachnids from your CCTV cameras and alarm sensors. Although made for the CCTV industry, the product has become a rather handy, multi-purpose spray; proving very popular in the domestic market.

Spray, Leave, Done. It’s that simple.

SpiderEx sets into a clear lacquer, essentially forming a barrier that spiders really do not like. Simply spray the product 30cm away from the area you wish to apply it to. If using on security equipment, cover the optical surface with a clean cloth whilst spraying the camera housing. Then, the product will set and remain effective for up to 6 months. Of course, this is dependent on weather conditions; so we suggest to ensure you check your cameras after torrential rain.

If you are using the product indoors, please ensure the room is well ventilated. Also, remove all pets from the room whilst spraying the product.

Commercial Amazon Review

“Great stuff for use on CCTV camera areas that keep attracting spiders where the IR heat attracts them. I spray this around the area on the wall and on the camera casing to deter spiders from making webs. Best used for me when I use a long reach duster to spread the repellent around the lens and around the camera mouth on the wall. Well worth the cost.” – Nigel

Domestic Amazon Review

“I was recommended SpiderEx by a customer who had great results from it. I now sell it in our small chandlery so all my customers an benefit from its results. No spiders, no webs and no black spots to clean away when you return to your boat. Unlike some of the other products on the market, it leaves no marks or greasy residue. It’s a must have for all boaters and I use it in the house as well!” – Rachel Garrison
