Default There's a spider living in my box!

A spider has taken up residence in my xB!!!
He's a smart little $h%t too... I can't catch him!
He comes out on the windsheild to taunt, then when I go after him he dives into the front edge of the dashboard.
I can't get rid of him!
What's the life expectancy of a spider???

life expectancy?

as long as it takes you to haul a vacuum out to your car and turn it on.

lol, that's what I'd do unless he was poisonous or aggresive.

i was driving home at night couple days ago with my sister. then when my sister (12 years old) started to cuss a lot, i said "whats wrong?" she said "there is a spider in the car, on my pants!" i found out it was just a little tiny spider, so i grab a tissue and squeeze that spider while driving on the freeway. haha, i got no time to stop. if the spider is big enough, i would pull over to the shoulder and stop. big spiders, especially dark ones, scare the **** out of me.

Well, as long at it is an arachnid.

An ex of mine was nick-named "Spider," so when I frist saw this thread my thought was "How'd Joel get into this person's car? I wonder if his wife knows?"

That's Funny!, my husband put springs on my car last saturday and found a spider living in my strut tower. It was a Brown Widow howeve. Glad it didn't bite him they are posisonous. I was showing him a black widow decal on a xb I came across the day before. You find anything in florida.

I have some sort of spider in my xB - haven't seen him/her yet, but it leaves tiny webs for me.

(I do share my bedroom with Freddy, a male European Wolf Spider, and we get along OK. He's a typical male wolf spider in that he's a hunter/killer for anything else small that moves, and doesn't do webs - he's a nomad... No, he's not a pet - he's a fellow resident.)

Spiders are very territorial. To get rid of it you need to find a bigger, meaner one and put it in your dash. Then that spider will either get eaten or chased away.

yikes, that looks painful.
A spider once took up residence inside my fuel door on one of my cars. Little booger seemed to enjoy scaring my early in the morning at the gas pump.
