Sooo, there's a snake in my car

[Shipster0958]

Apparently, she's deathly scared of snakes, and they freak her out.

Oh, I feel her pain on that sentiment. The mothballs are an interesting idea - any special kind?

Not that I saw. Just boxes from the dollar store is what his mom said. They're sealed up in a plastic bag, I'm guessing to keep the smell from seeping through the box.

What about a trick for spiders, I saw one next to my toilet today that was so huge, I felt like I was in line and should wait for it to finish going to the bathroom.

Spiders? Mothballs may keep them at bay too. However, I'm not completely sure. I'd like to know myself because I dislike spiders. I'm not scared of them, but I'd just rather not have them around.

I usually kept two big cans of the fume free, scent free Raid at my mom's house. Not just for the occasional roach when the people around her place moved, but it also kept out ants and spiders. I sprayed around the perimeter of every room along the baseboards. However, poking around on Google, I see that mint tea somehow keeps spiders away. Not sure how that works though.

I don't know, this one was so huge that it looked like it would sit down with me and have a cup of that tea. You have to love summer in the south.

I can't believe how a thread about a snake in a car turned into 7 pages. LOL!

I've heard rubbing alcohol helps to keep spiders away. I had a black widow land right by my hand at my front door last night. I think I might skip the home remedies and call an exterminator. I hate those things!

It's evolving into everyone's worst nightmare creepy crawly thread and how to prevent them. I think this has become a very important thread! And of course snake stories.

MissG made a very useful thread here.

PS: for some reason the title of the thread makes me think of Woody in Toy Story, "There's a snake in my boots".

I'm like way late but when I saw the title of this thread I thought of Woody too!

The thing about exterminators is, eventually - it may take longer than usual - the spiders and stuff come back anyway. I guess it depends where you are, but down here, in Mississippi, in the middle of the middle of nowhere... They're just here. They don't live in our habitat... We live in theirs. All them trees and stuff behind us and around us, calling an exterminator would be pointless for me. Although, if that's all it took for them to go away, I'd gladly do it. But for now, I just send Jeremy out with a can of wasp spray and a prayer, and hope he comes back alive.

What about a trick for spiders......

I've heard spiders hate the scent of lemons / limes. You can mix a 50/50 citrus:water solution and wipe down the counter tops, entryways and windowsills.

Just be thankful Limlim didn't start this thread. We'd all be talking about trouser snakes instead.

I hate creepy crawlies and will take all the advice I can get.

Is there a snake in your car or are you just happy to see me?

 

[MissGuided]

rofl! I totally had to rep that, Muse!

I guess you're right. I grew up in a city and live in a small country town now. I'm not used to so many critters everywhere.

Is that what the solution is? I don't know if any of y'all had ever seen those infomercials that try to sell that 1001 pest aways book, but they say there's a special mixture to keep away spiders, and then they show someone with a spray bottle spraying above a mantle or something. Of course, they don't tell what the mixture is, but I'm sure it's available on the internet. Although, I personally wouldn't mind having the book.

What a funny thread. Though I'm not sure if I should be ashamed of people beating brilliant wild animals to death with pipes, as funny and badass as it does sound. I am from a place where we have no exciting wild animals though, so I don't know what the norm is where you guys are. As long as they're not on the verge of extinction I guess. But, aren't there more humane methods to get rid of them? I mean, beating it with a pipe? Really?

Poor snakey

When a person freaks out, especially when they have a fear deeper than just wanting to rid of a snake and/or being with child, I'm pretty sure humane method doesn't really pop into mind. And if you don't really know about snakes, you have no idea which ones are poisonous - like most of the ones around here, which is why they get shot at all - and you have no idea if they'll strike. All you know is that it shouldn't be in or near your home.

I see your point though, but sometimes, it just doesn't come to mind.
