Spider webs and insects
Ok, I keep my camper in a carport on the back half of my property, on grass. We went to get camper for upcoming trip and wife saw spiderwebs on steps when she opened the door......thaaaaaaat was all it took. I have ben task to make sure I do everything I can to keep spiders OUT of the camper......PERIOD!!! soooooo, what is a good spray to spray under the camper to HELP denture bugs getting into the camper? I know, I know, you can't keep them out 100%, but the CEO insist I try!!
You guys use anything in particular inside AND outside that will help?
Thanks

Lol.......thanks Marcy and Gary, camper is an rv built carport, (on grass/dirt for now).
I will try a few options. No rain to speak of gets in except spray. I need to at least spray tires and four corner Jack's. I heard/read that essential oils mixed in a spray works well inside.
Can't prevent 100%, but, if wife thinks I'm doing SOMETHING, I am golden. :-)

Some time back an older experienced camper in our camping group recommended using mothballs to deter spiders, so we took him up on it. I don’t know if we have just been lucky or not but we don’t have spiders. We also use original scented bounce sheets “everywhere“ when we store it for the winter.

TERRO spray works wonderfull! Works wonderful from 6ft on spider droppings staining exterior vinyl siding. I also use it about twice a year in high basement to control spiders. https://www.terro.com/terro-spider-killer-spray-6

We carry a box of Boraxo (yeah - the 20 Muel Team brand) and a can of ant spray.
When we suspect ants we spread the borax around the pads and utility hoses. When we see ants in those areas once parked we spray with ant spray.
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.Larry KE4DMG

I HATE spiders!
I live next to a large field separated by a 4 ft. concrete retaining wall next to my driveway. On any given summer day I can count at least 10 large hobo spiders marching towards my house. Impossible to keep them out of the garage. I got tired of it so I did some research and found this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GLEO6EA?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detail s
It's safe for indoors and out. Sprayed on the wall, driveway, garage, foundation and downstairs perimeter baseboards. I have never seen a spider since. Anywhere.
It will kill any insect so I don't spray the yard to protect the bees and praying mantis.
It's also residual and lasts up to 3 months.
Next I will be spraying the underside of my trailer.
