I've had this van in the uk for a year now, you think it would die in the shit weather.

You would have thought so :? Did they find any more ?

 

[rusty]

yes a male, looks like a uk house spider, the council guy reckons they can bite too just not as dangerous, the female is the four most venomous in the world :zombie:

Waxyacavities :mrgreen: .

 

[vwcanuck]

Wow ... glad you didn't get a bite!

I found a brown widow spider on the inside of my wheel! 5 mins earlier I'd been lying a few inches from it while fitting brake hose clips. Only spotted it when I took the wheel off! brake cleaner didn't kill it, just made it run faster :shock: the hammer slowed it down :lol:

Wow :shock:
Funny u should show us this!
I was wondering about spiders in my Cali westy as I was digging around under the seats the other day !
I didn't find any but I was thinking to myself ' u just never know '

 

[easy]

Ooof! :shock:

 

[gumbo]

I would have physically shat myself.

should be easy to name your bus now though ....

 

[Bigbear]

Oh no! Anything but spiders! I need a shower just looking at that!!! :animal0017: :confused0068:

 

[RichardAlexander]

Bloody scary, don't need to worry about that with my Cali import the rats ate all the spiders and 5 hornet nests I found

 

[marco]

The one advantage of UK buses :mrgreen:

Found a couple underneath mine when I first got it didn't take any risks and blow torched them, following day found one in my garage door which received the same treatment.
Year later whilst driving home from a weekend camping I got bite on my ankle below the shoe line and it absolutely killed! Never found anything in my shoe or any thing near it but it was like a pulsating wasp sting which lasted for 6 hours! Phoned NHS direct and they told me to lie with my leg above my heart just in case!
I guess the sting could have been anything but I was paranoid it was one if these black widows lol

 

[trebor]

Sod that :shock: I don't mind the spiders but it's the toxic bites. I got bit once by a horse fly when fishing ( so they recon, no idea what they are ) my arm blew up for 2 - 3 days. :?

 

[shiplee123]

Trebor , this is a horse fly

Bloody hell :shock: I'll have nightmares now.

 

[shiplee123]

Neigh ... don't worry about the horse flys
