Cellotape 7 in a row to the ceiling mate, no more or no less, make sure they're pointing towards the window though.

Good luck. Get some pics up. If I was home I'd show you how I positioned mine. About 1m from the window is far enough.

Make sure it's pointed towards the window though as they hate it, they try to follow the line and when it ends they don't know what to do. That's why they always stick to skirting boards. It will get confused and look for the nearest exit.

It does work when you add a lighter into the process.
