C120 Feedhorn Cap (spiders)

[moonbase]

Hi,

Can anyone please recommend some type of measure to prevent spiders crawling into the C120 feedhorn/LNB tunnel?

I think I read some time ago that clingfilm was OK or possible something similar?

I really should get the correct cap from the dish manufacturer but until then I am happy to try out any "Heath Robinson" improvisations.

I used a plastic pot on mine, i managed to find one that fits nicely into the feedhorn. i put a pin hole in the base to prevent condensation had it on for a few years now. i cant remember which dessert came in the pot i'm sure i had to try a few before i found the right size.

Expanded polystyrene squeezed up in a ball and forced in works fine and doesn't effect signal strength at all.
