[Rhodes22-list] Rid Boat of Spiders & Their Webs

[Alan Robertson]

Tried below and the bounce papers in the side pockets got all gummy from rain and blocked our side pocket drain holes. A mess co-capt. objected to since she cleaned it up..
Any spiders probably drowned anyway, but no spiders in lazarette.

  We use bounce fabric softener sheets to repel wasps,by putting them in
  the side pockets and one in the lazzerette,and two in the cabin.It helps
  deter the wasps and leaves the cabin smelling fresh. This year I didn't
  put in the fabric sheets,and I have spiders and wasps. I'm going to
  take a few sheets down to the boat next time I go and see if it causes
  them to leave.
