Thanks for all the tips (& amusing anecdotes Laughing
Think I'll try the lemon juice first although I know conkers do work - we use them in the house & don't have
spiders (or koala bears) any more.

I'm told spiders don't look peppermint, so how about taping a couple of Polo mints to each mirror Thumbs Up


Hard ones or the chewy ones, or is that Trebor Mints? They might be better as everyone knows that 'Trebor Mints are a Minty bit stronger'....'

You need the spiders there to move the mirror. It's like the little chap in the fridge who turns the light on.

Spiders inside are scarier - especially when they fall down when one opens the sunvisor. This was in my P38A.

Let off half a can of insect spray aerosol into the back of each mirror housing. That will sort them out!

Or perhaps you're trying to eradicate them in a friendly way. Karcher perhaps? Laughing Laughing
