Spider web problem !!!

Ok guys the creepiest thing is happening to my car these days. Today is day 3 of this occurence. When im about to leave in the morning, for school etc, i find this spider web on my left side-view mirror area . Now it takes me seconds to remove the darn thing, hose it off, but the next day i find another web on the same area....
I just dont get it, does anyone have an explanation is the spider like trying to protect its eggs or offsprings or some shit on my freaken side-view mirror.... Oh and i park my car on the same spot of the car porch... but still very weird... thought i might share....

He's probably found a home within your mirror..... Remove "him", and you will remove your web

Simple. The spider is renting your mirror housing for his/her home, and is merely putting up the web to snag some lunch or other meal. Be nice to it....you never know when you might need a friend.

If you were close by and it was warmer I'd lend you "hem ber ger", my toad that lives under my porch and feeds on the hundreds of spiders that become his food during the warm months here in MA. But 1st he is still hibernating and second I have grown to like him and take care of him by not running him over when I cut the grass around the house, so lending him will be out of the question.

Sorry

Right! That would make his rental nice and warm so he'd probably invite all of his friends in for a party. You would never get them evicted.

Perhaps a light blast of compressed air around the glass on your mirror will end your problem.

Monday, I had a similar problem. I had single webs across my dash on on my passenger window. Luckily, I didn't find them today, but my car had been sitting for more than a week, too.

Or you could spray some bug spray in there(not sure if the electronics would like it). Shop Vac with a straw. Or, you could blow it up, actually, dont do that.

LOL, I Effin Hate Spiders!

I used to find them in the hallway, all huge and ugly looking and I would pour rubbing alcohol on them and make like a big old puddle on them and then light it on fire! The floor was tile and since the fire only burned the rubbing alcohol's fumes, it never torched the floor!
