This Drives Me Nuts.

No, not the part of the picture where you see half of my backyard. Look up in the corner of the window. See the spider? I have several in this kitchen window over my sink. If I were to open the window a bit to try to clean it, the area where the spider is would be unreachable because it would go up past the window behind it. No vacuum attachment is thin enough, and it's OVER the sink so you really can't work things up and in the window in the first place. Many spiders have figured this out, and have built their webby homes RIGHT where I have to look while I'm doing dishes. Suggestions? Blinds would get messy. Curtains would be ruined. I suggested that sticky paper but D *insists* he wants to look out the windows. (yuck). I've taken to hanging bits of crafts in strategic web-filled places.
