Disposable cobweb broom - easy, cheap environmentally friendly.

If you have high ceilings or eaves, it can be hard to reach cobwebs with a conventional broom or cobweb broom... plus you end up with a very yukky broom to clean.

I’m assuming you have some trees in your garden (or even large bushes... otherwise you probably wouldn’t have a spider/cobweb problem).

Step 1 What You Need

All you need for this environmentally friendly, cheap, disposable cobweb broom is:

1. A handle- a long thin tube, such as a metal curtain rod (which is what I use) or narrow electrical conduit. You could also use a long, straight stick (e.g. bamboo, dowel) but that won’t be as easy.

2. Some sticks from your trees/bushes- with a main stem which fits into your handle and 2 or more small (but not too tiny) little twiggy bits on the end (see photo).
Look around your garden for a tree or bush that has those kind of branches and collect some that have dropped. You can go back to the same place next time you need some, or collect any extras that you find and keep them for next time.

I didn't know birds used cobwebs, and I thought birds using paper money as nests was bad

I think they use the cobwebs to help bind their nests together, and/or as a soft lining - not sure about the money, we don't have enough to leave it lying around for the birds;)
