Ever find a critter in your truck?

How are you using them :confused:

Open up a few sheets just like you would do to put them in a dryer and place a couple under the mattress and some randomly throughout the truck in cabinets, under the bunk etc. I change them out every 90 days...bought the cheapest ones at .99 a box of 40 sheets.

Field mice get in and Black snakes follow. Scares me half to death when I open the side door and a snake is napping there.

In El Paso I had a terantula get in my side box and a rattle snake wrapped around the drive shaft. I just started the truck and drove around the lot. When I parked there were remnants of the snake but most of it was gone.

That would have totally freaked me out :eek: A cargo van driver was telling me about how he got some tarantula's with his freight, that tried to make a home in his van. I would have had to abandon ship.

I opened the door and found a tarantula sitting on the pavement, and picking up a load in Del Rio once a stray dog tried to hop into the truck after I gave it some leftovers.

I was warned by other truckers that out west if you park on the desert floor those rattle snakes like to sit under your engine for the heat. Truckers have been bit stepping out in the morning. I always drive forward 20 feet before getting out when I,m in that situation.

This guy clearly wasn't in the truck, but I decided to let the shirt stay a while longer.026.jpg
