What da hell, I bought the car 2 weeks ago and find out not 1, not 2 but 4 waterbugs in my ride, I'm like what the hell!!! the guy who owned it before me must have been a dirty bastard living in poverty, anyway I'm thinking of setting a roach fogger in my car, there usually for rooms in a house but I dont care, I need to get rid of uninvited joyriders, what do you guys think??:sun:

there's a thread around here about the huntsman spider I found in my car - the joys of living in Australia with too many spiders and snakes. I surface sprayed the SiR inside a while back and I still can't get rid of the damn smell. A roach bomb would prolly be worse.

DAMN!, well thx for the info, I'll try some roach baits first, you know the one they crawl into, then surface spray under the seats, backseat and under the dash, man if one of those crawl in my shirt while I'm driving that'll be the life of me and my car:D huntsman spider? hmm..I'll check that out, saw a special on discovery on spiders and they sound familiar, if its the one I'm thinking of thats probably worse than have a few waterbugs! hehe, than again maybe not.

i sayt set that bitch off if i found some bugs in my ride i would

It reminds me of my cousin, he had a snake in his, everytime he stopped the car it hid, then he'd drive and it'd come back out, I think he was lying, but its funny anyway

Cut and paste from the Asia/Pacific forum... Huntsmen are harmless, they just spook the shit out of me :D I can deal with our killer spiders no worries - I just stomp 'em - not these fuckers though...


I f*ucking hate huntsmen
God damn motherhumping hairy bastards that they are. A few days ago I was on my way to work - sunroof and windows open. Suddenly these hairy bloody legs come crawling out of the enginebay and a huge bloody huntsman decides to crawl up my windshield. Trying desperately not to scream like a girl I repeatedly press all the power controls to close the roof and windows. The bastard having had his fun then runs back under the bonnet.

Fast forward to today. I get the hose and hammer the engine bay, hoping to drown the sucker. Nothing. Hmmm...

Hose out the wheel arches... nothing. Oh well, maybe he'd had his fun and had picked on someone else to terrorise. I go to the boot to get out some work papers, pop it open and... the f*cker is staring at me from the spot between hatch and the seal. He looks at me, I look at him and start gibbering like a lunatic. After a few seconds he casually lifts a leg (spider equivalent of flipping the bird I guess). I slam the boot as hard as I can to squash him and... the bastard runs down the side of the car and sits there staring at me.

Damn dude! that's alot worse than waterbugs, hehe your story had me crying man, I might as well fess up, when I first encountered these pesky little bastards it was at night, I was in my car and I saw the shadow of a big roach right on the damn visor, I was in first gear in a public parking lot and jumped out the damn car with the car still in gear, hehe I did a rollover on the ground, my car jumped, stalled then shut off and rolled a few feet :silly2: I'm not really too scared of waterbugs, but this one was pretty damn big, I usually stomp on em but if it crawled down my shirt that'd be it, I'd set the damn car on fire!

PS that is one ugly freakin spider man, i'd be terrorized myself

Holy Christ, regardless if their harmless or not. Ill be putting a bomb or something in my car to get rid of those bastages. I dont think i could deal with a live in spider.
