And no, not the sort that are stuck to your front end!

So for the last few weeks I have noticed the odd tiny fly enjoying itself buzzing around the cockpit. Initially I thought nothing of this and rid them by opening the window or taking the roof down.

However the little blighters continue to appear from seemingly nowhere so clearly they are living in here somewhere.

The car is clean, dry and there is no food waste anywhere.

Where should I begin my hunt for the nest before it turns biblical?

I figure you could use some kind of "bug bomb".

Alternatively catch all the spiders you can and put them in the car.

You may then meed a bird

followed by a cat...

Would a horse really eat a dog?

I feel this is clearly our opportunity to find out. Also the important question of "can I get a Horse in an MX5" would finally be answered.

How do you get two whales in an Mx5?

Straight down the M4.

I guess we should get back to Bug-meisters original topic... Spray a load of bug-spray in the car when you leave it overnight and they will be gone by the morning wink

It looks like a horse will at least try to eat a dog... (isn't youtube great?)

It's going to be tricky getting hold of a lion to remove the horse though...

I don't think that will be a problem. You wouldn't survive the horse.

Not being able to view the replies to this thread has been bugging me all day, so much so that i had to fly home (roof down) to see what you chaps had come up with.

I am not disappointed.

Bug bomb of some sort seems sensible, i'll give that a go over the weekend and see what happens apart from the fabrics soaking up some wonderful smell wink

Something else that might do it is if you pipe your exhaust gas into the cabin.



















p.s. don't do this.
