Cobweb brush and then I spray around the cameras with Ortho Home Defense. I do that monthly and it helps a ton.

Sometimes their webs look like ribbons! I had a wasp fly from one and I saw it on video and couldn't tell what the heck it was. Looked like a bat or something. I use a broom to brush the lights.

I spray bug killer on the perimeter of my house (3 ft up wall from ground) and spray around camera while trying not to spray lenses. Makes huge difference in the amount of bugs and spiders around house too. I do this about every 3 weeks. Very cheap product called Bug Stop. About $5. 87 a gallon. Sold at many places. Best sprayed with a garden sprayer.
