1. Clean mirror with lemon. Spiders are repelled by the taste of lemon, so you could try cleaning with a lemon-juice-soaked cloth, or a lemon-scented duster.

Remove the mirror glass and put a couple of conkers in there. Problem solved! |

Nothing can be as bad, as when I used my old classic -12 runs to the dump., to dump a huge amount of bramble, fence, and ivy. Left the last run in car overnight, as dump was shut. For about two weeks, I had so many spiders, snails, caterpillars, webs, slugs, and flying things coming out from everywhere.

Told SWMBO about Koala's clinging to the wing mirrors in search of Eucalyptus leaves - she actually thought it pretty funny, so thanks all. Now she knows Im not just wasting my time on this forum |
