Default Combatting spiders in storage unit

My storage facility has a bad spider problem. I just moved units and it is brand new, I sprayed some home defense everywhere and in two weeks there is already webs going everywhere. Luckily they are not getting in the boat just everywhere else!! It's not fun walking in and going through web after web. Anyone have any suggestions.

Put some glue boards all over your unit, or around the webs. Youll see what kind of spider problem you have on your next trip back. Nothing touches those and lives to tell.Good Luck

tell ya what works on my boat. I put Downey dryer sheets everywhere, inside anything i could find to hide them and the spiders were gone . . . and i mean gone. Not a one inside the boat, maybe an odd one on a line now and then but they vacated the boat pretty much completely.

Tomcat glue boards from Menards as mentioned above. I use them in my basement at home and I am amazed what is there that I never see

Find a local company that will spray. It is cheap and it will work.
