    Thanks

    The borax is a great was to keep critters out. I think it helps with spiders but our pest treatment guy said not much stops them other than outright spraying on stomping on them.

    Where the electric cord and water hose enters the RV I always put a dryer sheet in the slot to stop any critters who thing about crawling up those and into the rig.

    So far, after a LOT of years doing this, so good.

    They still test munitions here, but a lot of biological and other research has been added since "back then." Hearing the thuds down range kinda makes me feel at home, though.

    Demon. Buy it at hardware store. Comes in powder form. Mix with water. Apply using pump-up sprayer. Spray under and around trailer. Mine lasts 4-6 months.

    My exterminator here in FL says there is nothing that will keep spiders away. Clear the webs and try and kill the spider, but more will come back.

    I use this on the camper and the boat and it works great. The boat is in a slip at a marina and will be covered with spiders if you don’t spray. The rain will eventually wash off but I find it lasts around a month ( longer on the camper which usually sits in my barn when not camping) and is very affective. Buy the one with the battery operated wand. Makes it real easy to apply, just hold down the trigger.
