Thanks man! I haven't seen any insects on them except for caterpillars, i've had pretty good preventative maintenace overall. That's not to say there aren't spider mites or something I can't see on them though. I love the idea of ortho home defense around perimeters. Do you spray azamax on the drying lines, orrr?Preventive maintenance. Azamax works for me, and ortho home defense for perimeters. Also trim it as close as you can, bugs dont travel across sticky nugg. OH I use lines to hang and always spray the wire ends where it meets the wall, mites will climb up then scale the wire, worms usually hang down. Most insects will die if away from live vegatation for long periods. GL
