monkeybrain1234 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 So those pesky spiders get into the wing mirror. I usually tease them out by wiggling there web and as its come out I swoop it onto the ground and let it scarper. However I have met my match with this 8 legged bugger. He only comes out to look, sees its not a tasty bug and goes back. I take the Web off daily, and it's really bugging me, but it's back each morning, 3 weeks this has been going on. Any ideas to get the spider out of my wing mirror? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack94 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Got an air blower or pressure washer? If so you could try and blasting it out, that's what I normally do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Cut up pieces of orange peel wedged around the glass for a few days, worked for me. Edited July 1, 2020 by davey_83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umster Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Peppermint and citrus smells repel them. See if you've got anything to spray on? Mint tea leaves? Orange peel might be a good shout like Davey said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob350 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Theres a spray called spidex that keeps spiders away and stops them making webs, a mate is a security camera fitter and uses it around the cameras and says its brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybrain1234 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Spidex sounds good. But as orange peel is a double recommendation I will try this. Thanks for all ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
