resident spiders

for some reason my familys cars all seem to have resident spiders in them,
My monaro had a huntsman as big as an open hand... that thing ran across the back window and made my mate scream like a girl.
My mums subaru has a smaller one that doesnt really make an appearance that often.
Sisters merc has a medium sized one that runs around ocasionally at the odd petrol station.
The worst one was when I was in the mr2 and I fliped the sun visor, a huge huntsman dropped onto my leg, After a few gymnastic like spine wrenching moves the spider was mashed intot he carpet, via my heel..

I watched a huntsman munc bugs on my car last night ..
weve got those black carpet beetles atm - huntsmans come out to pounce ..
Big hairy bastard - hand sized ..
I thought NO - your not using my roof as a dinner plate - got a bucket of water - washed him off and sent him on his way ..
I try not to kill em if i dont need to - they are big andd ugly and looks scary but their bites only itch like hell and burn a bit ( ive been bitten twice )
Plus they keep my garden bug free

while driving around in an acclaim, I put the sun visor down, and a huge huntsman dropped in my lap, then into the footwell, and promptly started scurrying all over my bare feet.
somehow I managed not to have an accident. never did find him.

yep i got em.
every day my car has fresh webs on the side mirrors, and rear flares/quarters
used to be the front bar too, but i think that one got the idea after his web got broken all the time.

i agree with mosquitos .. what are their purpose
Spider shave a purpose .. to eat bugs ..
Mosquitos just annoy the piss out of you when your trying to sleep .
At least flies help get rid of decomposing waste ..

A bit of WD40 around in the cavities help fix the spiders.

i got an idea....... kill a few spiders pick them up using toothpicks and leave them lying around your car.... give other spiders a bit of a scare when they see there mate spiders with toothpicks through em...... theyll never come again

Yeah I hate mosquitos too. Stupid things. Other than spread desease, make you itch, provide food for spiders and annoy the hell out of you they do nothing. Bees, flys ('cept freeking march flies... why do they have to bite?) are fine. Wasps aren't even native to Australia and we would do fine without them so stuff them too... die die die.
I only kill spiders when I can't catch them (and put them somewhere where I am not), or if they realy realy freak me out, like landing on my damned HEAD, or trying to run back to the car after I have flicked it off. If only it had stayed where I flicked it, it would still be alive today (probably not actualy... it's a ahh... spider eat spider kinda world).
Speaking of eating spiders, I realy like the dady long legs. They eat other spiders.

Having had dengue, there's no need to tell you what I think about mosquitoes...
I've had my share of huntsmans in my car as well.. they seem to like to live inside the side mirrors.

I found a spider in my sock yesterday morning. I put it on and felt something tickling my toots, and when I realised what it was lets just say I have never removed a sock from my toots that fast before.

if i was a spider and my web broke every day i would be moving somewhere else
i've heard daddly long legs are the most poisonest spiders in australia only problem is there fangs are to small inject poison into us
All spiders eat other spiders, the women spiders kill the men spiders and lay eggs in them, same as the women prey mantis

the daddy long legs is the most venomous pider ..

tough life being a boy spider - One shag in your life and your lady for the night kills you and eats you ..
