I went overseas for year and left it at mum and dads... came home and tried to get it going... after a new battery and a bit work she started (smoking like a chimeney)... so I decided to go around the block to burn out the cob webs... didnt get far when I noticed a wasp flying around me... swiped at it and thought no more of it until I noticed sihtloads of wasps flying around... I nearly s1ht my pants, slammed on the brakes and jumped out the car running for while to get away from the things. Found out that the little buggers had formed a nest under the parcel shelf while I was away. Wasnt funny at the time but gives me the occasional laugh now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Huntsman dive under the dashboard from the open door well a few years back and the wife refused to hop back in the car. Had to go into the supermarket and get a can of Baygon. Sprayed the whole can under the dash...into the air vents....everywhere.Never did get to see that spider again, but assumed it took it's last breath when I fired the Baygon his way.Unfortunately.....the car absolutley stunk for many months following Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll find the huntsman, paralyse it and lay her eggs in it. Then voila - no more huntsman!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Just a bunch of wasps in a few weeks time instead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Actually my attempt at subtle humour, Adam.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Oh well... I'm sure you'll do better next time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are notorious for entering cars, and being found hiding behind sun visors or running across the dash board....Best of luckCowie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 18/03/06 10:52 PM Share Posted 18/03/06 10:52 PM (edited) Jet you fool!It's good to have blue tongue lizards around because they kill snakes.Besides... it's on the bonnet so there's a fair distance between it and you in the back on the booster seat. there is no snakes in my area.. I didnt kill it anyway, just got it onto the ground and pushed it to the side of the road. Edited 18/03/06 10:55 PM by jEtONiT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the good news is spiders scare easily and I find that almost all the time once you see one somehow they never appear again.Lend ya car to a person who has no dramas with spiders for a week or 2, with any luck it will appear and they can remove/kill it.

Thought of the smiley, but then decided the "lay her eggs in it" was an obvious irony hence no smiley required. I was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
