Perhaps some of you have already noticed that eufy Security cameras are not only popular among users but also among spiders.
Recently, there have been numerous posts in the community showing spiders or spider webs captured by eufy Security cameras, leading some to even suspect that Peter Parker might have moved into their neighborhood.
Besides looking scary, spiders can also accidentally trigger the camera’s monitoring function, causing unnecessary alerts and battery drain. Therefore, here is a comprehensive guide.
Why Spiders Are Attracted to Your eufy Security Cameras?
1.Warmth: eufy security cameras with infrared generate heat. This warmth is highly attractive to spiders, as it provides a cozy environment.
2.Insects: Many eufy security cameras are equipped with LED lights. These lights attract various insects, which are the primary food source for spiders.
3.Elevated Locations: eufy outdoor cameras are typically installed in elevated positions which are advantageous for spiders as they offer both protection from predators and optimal positioning to catch flying insects.
7 Ways to Keep Spider Webs off eufy Security Cameras
1.Regular Cleaning: Consistently cleaning your cameras and the surrounding areas every 2 to 4 weeks can prevent spiders from settling in.
2.Apply Lubricants: You can apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant or Teflon spray around the camera’s housing to create a slippery surface that spiders find difficult to adhere to.
3.Use Anti-Spider Sprays: Applying commercial spider repellent sprays around your security cameras is an effective method. Natural alternatives, such as peppermint oil, vinegar, or citrus sprays, can also be effective.
4. Loop a Flea Collar : Flea collars, which contain spider-repelling chemicals, can be an effective deterrent. Loop a flea collar around the camera to create a repellent barrier.
5.Lighting Adjustments: Adjust the lighting around your cameras by reducing the brightness or switching to yellow-toned bulbs that are less attractive to insects.
6.Ultrasonic Spider Deterrents: Some electronic devices emit ultrasonic frequencies that are unpleasant for spiders. Placing these devices can create an inhospitable environment for spiders.
7.Trim Vegetation: Another method is to maintain the landscaping around your property to reduce spider habitats. Trim back trees, bushes, and other vegetation that is near your eufy cameras.
