Third trip to Erie

[Larry Patrick]

Just returned from a good trip. Been a while since last visit,the enclosure kept the boat fairly dry. But spiders were everywhere. Was surprised how many there were. Any ideas for ,killing any unseen ones on inside of cabin or berth? Said after leaving we should have sprayed something on the inside ,since were sleeping in there this weekend. Will be overnight on boat to view fireworks Erie days event. Not sure how they get inside when its all locked up. Not sure if they sell some kinda smoke bomb type treatment anymore.Dont like smell of spraying raid inside. Guess will just kill them as we see them. Will drag all the bedding out and check in there. Did a lot of boating and fishing. Went in truck camper ,with a new EU 3000 generator mounted on the front ,really nice genny. Runs air,and frig on eco mode. We stay in campground ,unless their full then we dry camp in a field near boat.

"home defense" bug spray by Ortho has been used by many boaters. Some have tried unscented dryer sheets (also good for getting bugs off the boat and truck on the road--dampen first for the truck).

Raid is good for the acute infestation. Spiders can cause some nasty infections--and I would want to be rid of them before sleeping aboard...

Thanks Bob,hope their not any of those brown recluse in the mix ,was shocked at the amount of them. Will spray before overnight. Guess those old docks are a breeding ground.
