My blind is infested with Daddy Long Legs

[cajuntec]

I was able to draw a gun hunting spot on Camp Bullis yesterday. When I scouted the area, there is a ground blind in place that I am expected to use, and cannot move without permission (I've asked permission, but they haven't given me an answer). When I pulled back the rear tarp to check out the interior, I saw what looked like a 6" to 8" thick shag carpet hanging from the roof. I took a stick and scraped about a 1/10th of it really quick, and discovered the "thick carpet" is actually thousands (not exaggerating) of Daddy Long Legs. They fell to the floor and immediately began their climb back to the ceiling.

Now, I'm not afraid of spiders, and most of the time I just ignore them. A few wouldn't bother me at all. But if I pull the trigger or bump this blind in any way while sitting inside, I'm going to be COVERED with DLL's! Not exactly what I'd like.

Any idea how I can get rid of these (permanently) before gun season?

All the best,
Glenn

Put one in your hand then smell your hand.

Throw a fogger in there.

I don't know how you get rid of those. I'd burn it to the ground and start over if it was mine but I'm sure that's not an option for you.

This.

Thanks boh347. I tried to upload that video from YouTube (it was my first attempt at using YouTube), but it didn't work so I just modified it to my computer link. How did you do that?

All the best,

Put a skinny guinea in there...beat roof from outside with long stick...repeat as necessary.

Ive used the hang up strips in my blind for wasps and spiders and it has worked well for me. It doesnt kill them just keeps them away and they dont scare the deer that I can tell

Foggerwill work. I have to use foggers each year, will get rid of all critters that are hanging out in your blind. Good luck.

And therefore another reason to get rid of them. I can't imagine the smell released from a ton of these when I knock them off the ceiling with the shock wave from a 7mm-08 inside the blind.

That's what I was thinking, but how long does the smell stay in the blind? That was my main concern when using chemicals.
