Melt Spider Webs - No SH

Hye guys, looking at offering an additional service and dont know if anyone has already done this.

There are several affluent lake communities in my area and during cleaning of a lakefront property, the owner told me about a service his friend use to have. All he would do is travel around and give a quick spray to melt existing spider webs. Since the spider activity is huge lakefront, he was able to have a successful business that he sold to a large company and moved to and even larger lake area in the Ozarks to start the same company. The spray was safe, immediately effective, and did not require insecticide licensing. Apparently the large company he sold it to ran that portion of the business into the ground and stopped offering it.

Given the spray and forget it, I’m not looking to include SH nor do this while doing a standard cleaning. Thought is 15 minute service and on to the next. I have supplies together to try and make my own mix and know there’s preexisting solutions already made for this, but my thought is to be cost effective, make my own solution. Want to make sure it doesn’t stain or damaging to anything like metal. Interested if anyone has explored this avenue before? Thinking build this around a 6 gpm pump and 5-10 gallon container to maintain portability.

What’s the product / chemical?

There’s quite a few products, varying in price and reviews. They’re all pretty expensive for commercial use. Some claim web melting, some deterrents, some killing, or a combination of 2.

I did a bit of research on this last year and just looked into it in depth a bit more. Thought I would be good using EPA exempt products or naking my own. My area recently passed some newer laws. While I can use EPA exempt or nake my own with certified raw natural products, I still can’t market as a pest deterrent or killer without a pesticide license. Doesn’t look too difficult to get in my area. Class, exams, and license, plus insurance. I’ll look into it a bit more this winter and probably move forward so I can use the good professional stuff, which is also much more economical, longer lasting, and overall effective.

Still curious if anybody here does a combo cleaning/pesticide operation. Feels like an easy cross sell. Not unusual for clients having pesticide company come behind me the next day or same day. From what I have seen from some major companies doing treatments, there’s a lot of opportunity for improvement in application.
