anyway to stop huntsmen getting into your car?

[Guest honey57]

Maybe it is the same kind of thing as the surface spray. I will get the other half to find the remaining bottle and get the name of it ASAP

[Guest honey57]

Good news! and Bad news!! Have found the bottle, unfortunately it is just called Insect barrier and comes from a company in France called 'Bactenet Industrie'. You maybe able to get the same sort of thing on Oz, I don't know?

 

I recommend this one as I have used it, I know it works, once dry it is safe around pets and children, you can use it on sofa's, curtains, wardrobes and pet bedding. Once sprayed it lasts 6 months, unless you wash it off of course. I am nearly out myself so I will see If I can find a supplier and let you know :v_SPIN:

I believe the only reliable way to stop them getting into your car is to KILL THEM ALL BEFORE THEY CAN GET ANYWHERE NEAR IT!!!!!

[Guest honey57]

Totally agree:) Are there really so many? are you overrun?

Nah, it's not too bad really. I did however bring the junk mail in from the mailbox a few months ago and unwittingly brought one of them in. I settled down to have a look at the Cheap as Chips catalogue and a huge huntsman fell out onto my dining table! I Morteined it and hit it with a shoe a few thousand times until I could be sure it was deceased! Needless to say, the next thing I Morteined was the mailbox!

its been 4 days now and im still freaked out by it. A very kind pia poster has gave me the name of a company who will spray your house and it lasts 12 months going to ring em and see if they can do the car too lol

 

Hi Clare

Can you give me the name of this company? I'm loving Adelaide but we had a huntsman in our tiny backyard the other day, completely freaked me out and I can't stop thinking about it. It's the only thing that makes me want to return to the UK!

 

Also had a couple of cockroaches in the house this week, yeuch. Maybe this company can sort those out too cos I can't sleep for worrying about what they're up to while me and my children are in our beds! Am seriously thinking of hypnotism, if anyone can recommend a therapist please let me know, seems a bit crazy to return to the UK just because of the critters when everything else here is so nice....

thanks

So funny! The same thing happened to me when we were living in Adelaide. OH was at work and I went to empty the mailbox, and there plopped right on top of the letters (with all his legs spread out like he was guarding them) was a huntsman! And there he stayed till hubby came in!

Now we are in the UK and I keep telling him our UK spiders are nice little critters, but whenever he comes across one he jumps back a mile before pulverising the poor thing and saying "only good spider is a dead one!"..he wont take the chance on it biting him...says it might be a migrant!
