Bug Problem With Car

[vmail]

What ever car I drive in any country, I always have the same problem

there are one or two spiders living in the wing mirrors and each morning there is a new web covering the mirrors

I could find any spider killers in the shop so what do I do?

Do nothing...........they will not harm your car

They live there because they find it a safe and warm (Heated Mirrors) place

Most mirrors have a lucky spider or two in them....................look upon them as low maintenance pets ;)

what should I name them?

what should I name them?

This has the potential to become another long thread

Why not call them BORIS 1 and BORIS 2...................you will not be able to tell the difference ;)

Well I have a massive spider on the wall above the bathroom at the minute and I am terrified! Oh the joys of not having anyone else home at this specific time :o

[vmail]

need any help?

[Blue84]

Yeah shall I spray it with hairspray to kill it?

[vmail]

spray it then light it

then scream like a !Removed! as it chases you

HAHA good idea........not I don't want any fire's here thank you!

It's not moved for about an hour...but I doubt it's dead as I know spiders have a habit of moving when they know they arent being spied on at all

[vmail]

poke it

[vmail]

or leave a trail of flys

Jetwash the hell out of your mirrors, that usually clears my problem for a bit.

If you don't mind spiders you could always try Rich's method of getting a leaf or piece of grass & poking around at the web mocking the movement a caught fly would make before grabbing it when it comes out for some food

Spiders are lucky - to have them around you means you are set to have good luck ;)

It's important to never kill a spider, killing them brings bad luck - just let them be. I have spiders in my mirrors and webs in the car - people think I'm a dirty cow (and they're probably right) but I'm also a big believer in luck and that you make your own - as long as my little buddies keep me lucky then they can sit wherever they like ;)

i got rid of one the other day and a bigger one moved in, tried to jetwash it out but i think its still there so i'll let it be :) its not hurting me or the car so it can stay

You could say the same thing about hitch hikers ;)

You've not had any luck though have you ;)

So you might as well kill them all - or is that just your excuse lol

I'm very lucky actually David... I'll tell you about it sometime ;)

They love my mirrors, because they fold in and out electrically they think its Alton Towers when I get em going.

[vmail]

[vmail]

[Pompey Gaz]

after a freak accident of the spider getting nocked out my mirror and onto the floor i accidently stood on him :(

[Blue84]

Well that huge one that I posted a picture of (Spider I mean) has disappeared and I've not seen it since....I didn't kill it either
