Sheriff Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Washed the car yesterday and check fluid levels etc... Noticed that the back of my engine bay is now home to several large spiders...just behind my expansion tank. Cobwebs everywhere! Never had this before, will have to 'move' them out, as I don't want the little critters setting up a permanent base in the vents etc. I !Removed! hate spiders! I suppose they have good taste in cars though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I often seem to have a resident one in my offside wing mirror. Little beggar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan54771 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I came out to my wind deflectors and boot lid covered in cobwebs yesterday. Must be the season for them now it's warmed up. There my worst nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nothing more uncomfortable than catching your face in a cobweb in a doorway or between trees. Ik! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I often seem to have a resident one in my offside wing mirror. Little beggar. Me too!, every day when i 1st go out to the car there is a web across the mirror, i sweep it away and then there is another tomorrow - spider must live inside the mirror - i could probably get a small mouse in there to eat the spider - then a cat to eat the mouse, then a dog...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I would evict them once, then if they didnt learn the first time, I think a can of upside down compressed air on their head might help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Don't think I've had any problems with spiders on the Focus. Maybe my Niece and Nephew scare them off? I did have a resident spider on my Punto one summer. He sat just under my wing mirror. Even if I washed the car, he'd come back. I called him George Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 haha, I would have been playing "how fast do I have to go before George goes away!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Spiders are the least of your worries.......well up here just now anyway. There's been a couple(that I know of) car fires in the last couple of weeks being blamed on birds building nests in the engine bays.

Incontro Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I too have one, in my drivers side mirror, keeps making a large web, despite me destroying the last ten of them. So annoying. Sent from my HTC One XL using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyrule Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Ik LOL im ok with spiders tbh now but back in the day I couldn't be in the same room with one, but FML, if I'm gonna let that beast run all over my back. The fangs alone are like 2-3 inches long, let alone the size of the spider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheriff Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 I remember doing OP Grand Prix in Kenya in '98, six week live firing in the middle of no-where. Elephants, cats, scorpions, snakes...no probs. spiders? I'd run off screaming like a little girl! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
