Spiders in wing mirrors

[Waxman]

Place clingfilm over your mirrors at night time - stop the little bugger from making webs - they'll soon hate it there and will move to pastures new.

In 1963 they'd have just given them "a jolly good talking to"

WD40 in round the back of the mirror glass seems to keep them away, spiders scare the living sh*t out of me

The other night i had an itch but ignored it, i went to the bathroom a while later to brush my teeth, looked in the mirror and there was a massive spider walking up my neck, odd noises were made and a shirt lost all its buttons during the reaction to this sight.

Got called around my neighbours last week to deal with a spider and being the twat i am i just chuckled and left it there... 5 mins later a photo of him/her whatever the 12 legged beast was popped up on facebook.

Would you like to see?


If you don't then don't scroll down.

I got loads of pics of various creepy-crawlies. I''d better link them to stop fp breaking his 406 office chair

Taken in GB before I left (I suspect this is GB's equivalent of the funnel web)

How about a wasp spider? Taken in the garden here a few years back.

Count the hairs

While I've got no problems with most c-cs, fp's reaction to a spider on his neck reminds me of when I found a hornet crawling up my leg - by the time my wife came to see what all the shouting was about I'd already jumped up & down, shaken it off and carried on jumping up & down on it. I then cut it in half with scissors and finally flushed it down the bog. Then most spiders don't have the ability to give you excruciating pain/make your flesh rot/give you a crash course in being a stiff.

Spiders I dislike, but at least our domestic ones don't really bother me.

Spider crabs, now they're scary.

That made me chuckle...



OMG - those photos of spiders, why oh why did I look at them?!

I HATE spiders... little ones that stay there I can deal with, big ones - no!

Must admit I always have webs and spiders on both mirrors too, even though mine are not heated.
Do you estate owners also find your rear wiper also gets covered?
I live within a mile range of an RAF base and find my car gets covered in dust regularly so maybe the dust attracts them more?

I will get the pressure washer out and sort the little tinkers out..........

Mwahhahahahahahahaha....(deep breath) hahahahahahahahohohohohohehehehehehehehaa....(passes out)

And in the next instalment of The French Connector, Sonia, the "dunno what I'm doing but I'll have a go" heroine asks "why have my electric mirrors stopped working?" with electrifying consequences.

My son as being catching house spiders and putting them on
The web of some big spider that lives in the garage.
Not sure what type of spider it is but its massive.

They don't bother me i just leave them alone.
