Bugs/Spider webs on my front and rear porches

We like to keep some lights on overnight on our front and back porches, but we are getting overwhelmed by bug and spider web debris along the top edges and surrounding surfaces. This crap is so hard to clean and when I do it just comes right back a few weeks later.
Is there any solution here? Any type of preventative treatment we can use to minimize this situation? Thanks!

I went to a diy pest control store and got a bottle of the Talstar. Forgot which one exactly but it works for almost a year before I need to reapply. Put in a cheap spray bottle and recommended dilution rates.

We have the same issue. The lights attract the bugs and the spiders are there to eat the bugs.
Talked to an exterminator buddy of mine that lives in another state and told him about the spiders and asked him for a rotation of chemicals to use. I then called domyown.com and spoke to a tech and asked for their recommendations.
Onslaught FastCap, Suspend PolyZone, Demand CS and after those, I can use Talstar P.
They both suggested using a cobweb duster to knock down the spiderwebs and sprinkle Delta Dust on the duster and rub it where the cobwebs were.
Here are the suggested chemicals for spiders.

Talstar should give you some longer lasting effect. When it dries it's effective against spiders walking through it.
Make sure you spray it everywhere you need it.
Your lights attract the bugs spiders feed on. If getting rid of the lights is an option your spider problem would basically be solved.
