To ask you to help me get rid of this spider

There’s a massive spider living in my car. I’m not great with spiders and yesterday on the motorway he walked across the dashboard and made me panic and I honestly could’ve crashed. I think he went down the air vent that blows onto the windscreen. This morning there were webs across the car so he’d been busy all night. I put the fast clear windscreen button on but he didn’t blow out of the vent. I hoovered the car (at arms length) but didn’t see him so he must still be in a vent. I’m too scared to drive the car and don’t know what do. If he crawled over my hand or something when I’m driving I’ll crash he’s massive. Please help I need to go out tomorrow night

Get on the dark web and buy yourself a new identity. Move to Antarctica - I don’t see them having many spiders there.

Oh god I googled. Apparently they have sea spiders that are bigger than dinner plates. No where is safe 😱

OP I sympathise. I don’t know how you managed to not crash your car, that takes bravery and skill. Man I’m having second hand anxiety for you 😂

Night stalking is a good shout!

@Wife2b Sea spiders 😳 I'm not even going to google that, I'll not sleep for the rest of the year!

Unless you plan on swimming in the sea whilst living in Antarctica... you'll be fine.

Car spiders... bribe them out with a fruit fly or two, then evict. Ideally whilst car stationary. Helps if you have fruit flies to hand... I mean I do, but I guess not everyone does.

What wild bird is going to get in a car to eat OP's spider?

I suppose Robin might if she's got the Batmobile.

Once you have bribed them out with fruit is the idea that you suddenly drive off fast??

Figrolls14 · 22/02/2023 06:47

Harsh but fair I guess. And would you do it, say, in some waste ground, in a forest, what have you?would you leave more fruit supplies or just foot down and gone?

Oh sorry - fruit fly!! Not just fruit!!
