What can I do to keep cobwebs at bay?
What can I do to keep cobwebs at bay?
I just moved into a completely brand new apartment complex. I have a 4th floor unit which has an over-sized balcony which is one of my favorite features, but there are always tons of cobwebs out there covering each corner and in between all of the balcony railing bars. I use a broom to sweep them and any spiders away, but they continuously keep coming back every few days. I don’t even want to put my patio furniture out there for fear of more webs! There is a lot of info out there to get rid of cobwebs once you have them, but I can’t find anything about keeping them away. I wanted to avoid the use of pesticides because I have pets. I heard using white vinegar will keep spiders away, but I wasn’t sure if that’s what causes all webs.
If it makes a difference, here are the details: I live in Florida. The balcony is constructed of wood with metal railing and has a painted wooden ceiling, but the balcony is not screened in. I’m also lakefront so there are terrible mosquitoes and this time of year you can’t get away from swarms of love bugs (Plecia nearctica) which is very aggravating as well.
Any help for any of these would be amazing, thanks!

The spiders make the cobwebs. You have to get rid of the spiders.

For the webs, you just clean them up and kill any spiders. Try putting a dryer sheet in your shirt of near your face to deter the mosquitoes. You can also use Skin So Soft (sold by Avon) bath oil on your skin to help keep them away.
