They bloody love them - must be sensible creatures. Everyday I battle through webs between the beast and the fence. Then when I get inside I usually find one or two in the front

I made the mistake of taking a builders bag of cuttings and weeds to the tip and now the tratter is full of the little gits

Fly spray kills them.
Haha, I thought that might be said....
I would be more worried about being full of spiders than being in a damp corner!

I don't mind them. To be honest, the size of some of the gaps around the doors and and some of the holes drilled in the bodywork, I keep expecting to find a stray labrador in there in the mornings.

Watching the one in the top windscreen corner catch the fly's then wrap and store them is in car entertainment. That plastic strip down the pillar is a perfect home for them.

I,d have been happy with a wee spider. I found 2 bloody mice nests in mine under the bonnet insulation. Thankfully no one was at home when i called.

No, they're probably in the chassis now.

I'm really happy to have spiders in the 90, quite a few made their way in when I had the floors out...just concerned they don't have enough to eat
Just mixed with water? Must be like driving around in a tube of toothpaste all the time though.

My daughter hates spiders and uses comkers about the house. It does seem to work as she never seems to have any around The only problem i see with conkers in the landy is that it,d cause a hell of a rattle every time you,d go around a corner

Not to worry on that point as the rear of the chassis was completely rotten. Too windy for them. If there are any left in it by now, their in for a rude awakening as i,m gonna pump burned oil into it soon. They could be the mice world equivalent of the Beverly Hillbillys for those of us old enough to remember

I'm sure they're factory fitted- must have been a man on the production line at Solihull with a box of spiders.

Thought it was just mine! I turf them out in the morning and next morning little buggers are back. Never killed them though. Treat them as mates now.
