My Satellite Setup
3.3 metre dish quad LNB Thompson and Pace Sky plus
My Location
Peyia, Cyprus
Has anyone any suggestions as to how to help prevent spiders crawling up the "spout" of an invacom quad lnb? Just had a baby tarantula and nest removed after losing nearly all channels. It was a coincidence that the loss of channels was immediately after very high winds, must have been sheltering from the weather!
Have actually sprayed Bio-kill around the area and on the lnb BUT not inside. Keeping fingers and all eight legs crossed.
 
I had a similar problem. At first I thought the lnb was packing in.

I've read you can cover the opening with a plastic cap or even kitchen film. I suppose you will sacrifice "some" signal. I think I too will probably spray the lnb ( not very ecological I know ) which will hopefully deter any insects.
 
Read on another forum that a condom:eek: stretched over or some polystyrene shoved in there will do the job.

Tarantula??????
Don't say that,I spend a lot of time evicting spiders from feedhorns. :eek:If I get bitten,how long do I have before I get the customer to suck out the venom?:)

Probably long enough for one last gasp ;) nudge nudge
 
the chance of a tarantula being on my LNB is unlikely.

penguins or polar bears swinging on the dish maybe!
Lancashire weather....... cyprus its not
