Video- telescoping rod for cleaning spider webs

Recommended Posts

Leave it to me to fill 3 minutes or so taking about....well.....a pole. LOL! These have been mentioned in the past here. If you have IR cameras, it's a worthy addition and makes quick work of cleaning the webs.

Nice idea.

I get pissed actually watching the spiders create make the webs while I am looking at the video.

 

Just curious as to what you were putting on the lens to keep them off? You mentioned somethign about that in the video.

 

Was that a regular painter's pole?

I found the pole in the brooms and garbage cans section of HD, not the painters section. I use some bug spray from there as well, can't remember what. It just includes spiders on the label. The problem is it doesn't last long. When it rains, it's over. This is the biggest reason NOT to have cameras with IR. But if you do, this can help.

We've got a telescoping pole that we bought a number of years ago to pick avocado's from our yard -- it's adjustable height allows it to extend to something a bit over 25' -- we got the longest pole we could find since our tree is >75 years old and even with that long pole I'm still a good 15'-20' from reaching the top while standing on the ground!!

I don't do it for fun. Two cameras are prone to them- mostly because of nearby tree branches. If I'm lucky enough, I can skip the chore.

This happens to one of my client's IR cameras every few days. It's a KT&C bullet IR camera. Web/Spider keeps triggering motion detection and blocks the field of view. The rear light is left on & I'm going to replace it with a CNB Mona Lisa once I get the go ahead.
