Didn't somebody have a good idea for keeping wasp, spiders and shite out of box stands?

I remember seeing it posted on here but don't know where. It wasn't moth balls, I don't think. I've always just waged war every fall but thinking about maybe being smarter. Tia

I am told cotton balls soaked with peppermint oil works, but cannot confirm.

We have windows that close and I sprayed gap filler foam everywhere I could between the frame and tin roof to try and seal it up as best I could. Then I spray suspend sc 3x per year inside and out. Not completely bug free but way better than some friends stands.

What I do. Chunk the bomb and come back the next day and find no surviving a-hole bugs that had plans to ruin my hunting season.

I use hot shot no pest strips and have zero issues… cattle ear tags would also do the job

What’s one of those run? In the market for a pre-built (mostly) box stand.

Do they ear tags pose a risk to humans after being bottled up in a closed space for months in the heat?

Just spray the inside of your box stand with talstar or suspend SC. You can get it on Amazon. Mix it up in a 1 gallon pressure sprayer.It works fantastic for spiders and bugs in general. You can use the suspend sc in your house and it works great for roaches as well

What about cattle ear tags would prevent bugs? Are they treated?

Depends on the dealer. But I can tell you we’ve had one on the ground for 3 years and have had zero bugs.
