Default Damn Spiders

I seem to have a pet who has found my wing mirror a great home

I have sprayed nearly everything behind the glass but every morning I find a new web spun

What can I use to flush it out

I have even tried the jet wash without sucess

I'd pop the glass out - most wing miror glass simply pops out to facilitate easy replacement. He is indeed a persistent bugger!

Live and let live, I dont think spiders live that long do they I used to have one and the webs just stopped after a while.

If you keep breaking its web, it might take the huff and bugger off somewhere else anyway...........maybe to the other wing mirror
