When even a bomb fails

A horrified woman found a huntsman spider had hitched a lift with her…and things only got worse!

The young mum was arriving at a petrol station close to her home in Adelaide, Australia, when the spider began crawling along the dashboard.

She told the Daily Mail she eventually managed to remove it from the car to seemingly put an end to the ordeal.

But the situation only got worse as baby spiders started appearing all over the vehicle days later, forcing her to abandon it.

“Over the next couple of days, when I was driving with my kids in the car, babies started coming out of nowhere. My eldest freaked out when she saw a baby in the front seat.”

Emma began researching the best way to remove the spiders from her car. When all the natural remedies she found online failed to work, she borrowed her husband’s car and drove to purchase a bug bomb. But she said that after avoiding using her car for a few days, she opened the door to find spiders’ silk covering the vehicle and ‘babies were coming down off the roof’.

She has now been advised to burn the car as the only solution.
