The biggest engineer we ever had on the boat I work on was a mountian of a man.... super tall and large! A HUDGE man! He was scared to death of spiders and would run like a sissy when one was around. He use to carry around a can of bug spray all day. At least twice a day, he would walk the whole boat and spray everywhere for spiders and I have to admit, while he rode with us, we never had anymore insdie the boat..

Could you get them to buy you a case of bug spray and spray around in the areas you work in?
