Cobwebs !

[Purple_Popple]

As much as I dont mind ickle spidery things in life...I do draw the line at the little critters spinning webs everywhere, every nook and cranny possible....I had to de-web my rotary airer earlier this morning and I got web all tangled in my fingers !! Gross !! Then their is the annoying secret 'car wing mirror spider' that once you have washed and polished your car, the next morning there it is - your wing mirror covered in a lovely glistening cobweb...I cant get rid of it....anyone else have this happen ? Why do spiders like car wing mirrors, they get a ride for free and dont even pay taxi fair.

Mine gets all excited and starts throwing itself around when we go for a drive. The web must be amazingly strong cos no matter how fast I go spider and web remain intact.

Spiders hide in the little cavity spaces in the mirror where you can't get at them. put a plastic bag over the mirror and tape do it is closed. Make a small hole at the end and spray flyspray for one second, then close the hole with tape or clip. Next day remove and clean the mirror of spray residue. Personally, I don't mind spiders and would never kill them.

The ones on the rotary are harder to remove. If the ends of the 'arms' are open then a blast from a high power water blaster might do.

I just leave them, I love them - my garden is full of them. I have to apologise to them when they get caught in my hair by mistake.

[ladybirder]

I don't want to get rid of mine. It's not doing me any harm.

I don't particularly like spiders, especially the giant one inhabiting my living room at present, but I'd never kill them, never !

I love to look at a web with dew on .. brings all the detail out.

A spiders web is an amazing work of art. i often stare and watch them as their making their webs, its so intricate. But i'll absolutely freak out if i walk into a spiders web .

[Quassia]

I do that regularly pusskin. Some dozy spider makes one that stretches from one hedge to another over my front gate! Every morning I forget .. and I think the poor thing has to start it all over again ..

Err think about it, who's dozy quassia, the spider or you?

[Quassia]
