thanks for the help... but what if a lady answers its calls and makes a family?? If that happens im coming for you... lol

[miucus]

lol yeah..i had a spider living in my right side mirror. i would have to keep on cleaning off the web it would make everyday or i couldnt see shit on the mirror. Tried everything to try and kill it. splashed water thru the cracks, stuck a knife in there trying to stab the shit out of it, but no go. it lived in there for like a month then one day it stopped makin webs so i figured it died. just wait until it dies.

Haha, my family used to have a spider living inside our big screen. Every once in a while while watching TV you'd see it crawling around on the other side of the screen.

Cricket's have a pretty limited life span, so it shouldn't be a problem for too long.

When I took out my KA I discovered about a dozen spiders in various places.

Insects FTW!

[wootwoot]

+1 get a lizard

[gotta240]

just get a Komodo(sp) dragon....NOTHING will be living in your car then!!! Or how about a garden snake...either one should solve the problem.

LOL...i'm glad you told us you already searched, cause i'm pretty sure a zilvia nazi would have told you to!!!!

spider in mirror + compressed air = no more spider

haha

as for the cricket.. thats just funny.
Can you narrow down where its coming from? Spray some stuff all over the things with the other thing that does the stuff..

[azndummie]

Get your car fumigated(tented). Haha jk just pray that the thing dies and go suck it up with a vacuum.

[kaotic]

lol.. thats funny shit!! welcome to the world of s13 owners.. a new vibration/sound/ smell every time you start the car up.. but I think the cricket tops it all. lol.. it will be only a matter of time before it dies.. small insects dont have much of a life span..

[koukimonster139]

lol i read the thread title and thought you meant like cricket like a problem with your car or engine. then i read on i was all damn.

so yeah try like taking your back seat out, thats where i found some cool living and non living stuff.

[punxva]

are you sure its a cricket and not a squeeking coming from your suspension? On my stock shocks it used to do that too, so it might just be that man

[surge s14]

drown the sound of the Cricket by geting a loud ass mofleta!

[Dousan_PG]

gte the fogger from the super market
close your windows
fog the car
should take care of it
i did that once. left the shell in the field for about 2 months
when i wanted to drive it again had a lot of black widows. got a packet of 4 foggers. threw all of them in there.
no problems after that.

[LB.Motoring]

Son are you on drugs?

No officer, uhh..... just some fogger fumes

:keke:

speaking of.. my 240s at my moms ( waiting on money for a motor :D ) and ive got a lizzard living in mine. at least i dont have to worry about crickets tho. but it did freak me out the first time it ran past me when i was sitting in it once lol

[orion::S14]

Haha...had this same problem years ago.

It's the headliner, where it snaps into place in the rear.

Right above the rear windshield...it clips in place with metal clips, and they rub on the metal.

As you drive, have a passenger/wifey/helper sit in the backseat and hold up on the headliner, maybe 2" forward of the rear window.

I'll bet the noise stops.

I had the exact same thing. It was a bit annoying, cuz my car is black, and the spider pooped out tiny white stuff.
But after it died.

I'll bet you have a Chinese girlfriend!? Some Chinese consider them good luck, so she might have put one in your car.

CASE CLOSED.

call a pest control

ugghhhh. Bad memories.
When I first bought my car, previous owner used to park it at the side of their house where it wasn't paved. So when I was ripping out the fender lining there were atleast 3-4 black widows inside of there. Didn't see them until I stuck my head underneath. Fucking disgusting.

I just went widow hunting. I had some spray paint and a lighter ready and spent a couple hours making sure there were no survivors

[zenki-217]

LOL roller your windows up and and buy a insect bomb .. Let that bitch off in the car and vacaite the area.

[EDacIouSX]

oh ok and mess up my interrior... lol. or, i oculd just not take a shower for a really long time and then just sit in my car..................... haha

[TipStylez]

put a brick of dry ice in there over night with all your windows rolled up.

That should take care of it. While your at it, throw in a couple of people you dont like.

[kuramaya]

eat the cricket like they do in Thailand... Aloy Mak mak, Sap Elee lai Der!

Really, I say leave the windows open overnight if you are in an area safe to do so, maybe he will bail and is moaning cause he is stuck in your ride...roach motel may work?

[WILDACEX187]

leave the car in the sun all day. it should cook really nice. i had a spider in my car making webs for a while. spotted it once when i was coming in and dove into the center console. spotted it a second time when i was getting in and stepped on it before it could run. i tossed it out while it was still alive. it should be ok now just a lil crippled lol

[nsn240]

you sure its not just something sqeaking around in your interior?

[EDacIouSX]

well i also have that roof problem that i can't get rid of. pissing me off. it keeps squeking in the back

[s13pignose]

That's like this rattle I get in the rear, can't tell if it's the trunk spoiler or both. Or this loose speaker of mine. Cricket still there? Only thing I could think of is a fogger, but I don't know what the fumes are like.

Tell you one thing though, check at like dollar store or something. Use to have a cricket problem near my basement door to the outside. Then we got these sticky strips, and before you know it they were gone. Cause they were stuck ofcourse. Might try setting a couple in your car. These crickets were huge so if it's a small one in your car, it's not going anywhere! They are yellow, but hopefully any brand will be as good. Only thing is I don't know if it had something to attract them to the strips or they crickets were that dumb

[Antone]

i have a black widow living in my rear-end, I called it Twinkles. (that doesn't sound right) haha

[jrmiller84]

just get a Komodo(sp) dragon....NOTHING will be living in your car then!!! Or how about a garden snake...either one should solve the problem.


Yeah, including yourself.

[EDacIouSX]

so... I picked up a new s14 (or not so new) and guess what. There's a cricket in this one too!

[lil240sx95]

^^ nooooo get a tarantula..or..call the orkin man those commercials are pretty clever...
