I have the same problem with moths. I'm going to try hanging some mothballs near the camera.

That's a thought Moth Balls .
I bought a can of Konk bug /fly killer. And sprayed . It keeps the spiders at bay for a couple of weeks, except for one cam mounted near the aliminum power entrance pipe. I call those JC Vandam spiders cuz they are Hard to Kill.
I'm on a Dairy farm so the bugs are going to be bad no matter what I do.
And the cat's turning on the yard light makes lots of footage as well.
If anyone knows of a site with kits or plans for IR illumination please post a link. I'd build one to try.

If you find yourself a brighter IR source, I'd still consider putting one nearby the camera attached to a bug zapper. Presumably they'd go for the brighter source, but I'm not an entomologist.
If you have a spare small compressor laying about somewhere, you could also possibly rig it to blast the lens with air every so often.

Lee Sharp:
What type of integrated ir/bullet camera's do you have experience with? Do you recommend them for commercial use or residential?

We buy them in bulk direct from Asia. I have many installed in commercial locations, (including some on the beach... Salt sucks) and a few residential. But you also have to consider location. I have yet to see a spyder or moth problem here in Houston, but I have seen more than a few pictures.
PM me if you want more detail.
