I seem to be waging an ongoing battle with this annoying little creature in my drivers side window. I've sprayed it, I've poked sticks in the gaps and yet I never seem to be able to get this infernal thing. I come out every morning and there is a new web! I am considering waiting during the night for it to attack it.

But does anyone have a solution for getting rid of my eight legged nemesis that doesn't involve me staking out the driver's door?

i say attack at night, make sure u have you ninja turtle suit on 2 fight d bad guys

dont worry i had the same prob with my old charade! only way i could get rid of them was to spray spider killer 3/4 times a day for about a week.

pretty sure someone else will have a better way of dealing with it.

In some society's, a spider is considered to be a good luck charm, if it nests in/on your car.

Have to say I'm a big fan of spiders - even after being bitten by a white tail on the weekend (bloody Aussie immigrants!)

Double-barrelled shotgun works for me..... kills most spiders first time. You'll still get the occasional little bugger who ducks but they're few and far between

What's with soarers and insects anyway? There's been a hand full of these bug related threads over the last month or so hasn't there?

Give your car to the quarantine guys, they'll sort your car out... tell them it has some exotic south american tarantulas in the mirrors and in other nooks and crannies all over the car. Better still, call Steve Irwin

Just kick the bejesus out of the mirror.





Then buy a new mirror.

All very good suggestions guys...I like the idea of sending in a bigger spider but then I risk some kind of spider alliance with twice as much web on my mirror!

Perhaps I should create some sort of flame throwing contraption to eliminate these pests...

You need to smoke it out.

Or, get the air compressor with fine nozzle in there and blow that feller a new ring-hole.
