huntsman hitchhiker
Can anyone help?
went to pick the girls up from school today, opened the boot to throw the bags in and there's a huge huntsman clinging to the boot in a 'Cape Fear' stylee. Now I am petrified of spiders, could handle a snake in the back of the car better than a huntsman. The car park is deserted so I have no option but to try and remove 'Robert de Niro' by myself, armed only with an umbrella. My 2 youngest looked on in horror/hysteria and amazement as their normally composed mum embarked on a frenzied umbrella attack as I attempted to flick Robert from the boot. However I only succeeded in chasing him into the car, as he flicked the V's at me and hid behind the seat belt. I am now an hour late picking up the eldest daughter and have no option but to call upon the help of Joe Public. Typical of me I call upon the assistance of a visiting Swede who needs reassurance himself that it's not poisonous before he'll get involved. Having reassured him that it's only the size of the beast that could prove fatal for me, if it runs up my leg when I'm driving and I end up on the opposite carriageway, he very kindly helps and 'believes' he 'probably' got him out. Not 100% sure, but he did see it drop somewhere. Praying Robert hasn't just legged it under my seat I thanked him profusely for his efforts. Me and the girls very reluctantly then got into the car to pick up older sister and had a tortuous half an hour drive back home, with the youngest wimpering on the back seat and me twitching and slapping my calves like a Bavarian on acid.
So my question is, can you buy an anti-spider spray for the outside of the car, the handles, boot etc. which won't destroy the paintwork? Or should I just buy a flame thrower for next time?

Sorry for your misfortune but PMSL
You can use thoses mortein 'bombs' like fly spary. I would have given it a blast, it might have not killed it but it'd been put out of action whilst I got someone to get it out.
You are far braver than me - I could have not driven home without evidence that it had really gone

how do you know the little bastard hasn't got a chemical weapons survival suit in his back pack? I swear the spiders here are a lot more sophisticated than the ones back in Blighty...

Keep it in the car... it'll eat the roaches...
I've used the Mortein surface spray on the car before and not lost the paintwork
