Here is a little tip for forum members.

My DB9 lives in the garage, and was forever getting spider droppings on it. Little white spots, I guess from their web-making glands. They didn't mark the car permanently but were a pain to constantly clean off.

So after a bit of research I liberally dosed the rafters with Tea Tree oil, which spiders apparently don't like. Hey presto , they seem to have moved out!

Spiders,,,in the sacrarium,,,not happening!! A car cover I suppose would come to rescue in some situations.

biggrin It would be better if the cars were parked in a cave...at least we could find the critters that are doing all the peeing and pooping, as it is they hide in beams and roof felt only to emerge at night for a maximum pee party attack ....... hehe

Hornets love tea tree oil.
Apparently.
But on a positive note it does keep the spiders out of the garage and paralyses cats n dogs if they get in.

Permanent paralysis?
