    Sprinkle Boric acid powder around boat and docks. I mix with water and use pump sprayer.

    Lightbulb bugs !!!!!

    Ortho Home Defense. Spray everything. Done. No more bugs or spiders!

    You'll have to re-spray after each boat wash.
    Hard work pays off in the future.
    Laziness, pays off now!

    agree them little criters can hide good. The worst are them DARN ants

    B sure to spray all ropes that attach to the dock soak them and about 1 foot toward the boat.

    I use the one that attaches to the hose just makes life simple.

    I don't like spray killers, so I use the Terro ant bait (boric acid), and put Roach Motels in various spots around the boat. Flip them over after 3 weeks, and replace every 6 weeks; they catch all kinds of little critters. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I rarely see a bug loose in the boat.
