Question For Car Guys

[Sam]

I just encountered a weird situation.

 

Last night we went to a crawfish boil and I brought home a plastic bucket filled to the top with live crawfish in the back storage area of my wife's 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

 

On the way home my wife and I stopped and put entire bucket of live crawfish into a local pond.

 

Now, here is what happened since we visited the pond:

1.  I found a live crawfish in the driver's foot well when we got home. I took him in my hand and drove to another pond closer to my home and dropped him in that pond.

2.  This afternoon I found a live crawfish on the garage floor in front of the Jeep.

 

Questions:

1.  How could a crawfish crawl from the back of a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee and get into the driver's foot well?

2.  How could a crawfish crawl out of the Jeep and onto the garage floor?

 

The doors were closed so I have no idea of how that crawfish made it out of the car.

 

Thanks for your input. I would not believe what happened if it did not happen to me.

Thank you Clayton86.  To answer your question, I did a little research craw fish are apparently only able to crawl over jeep grand Cherokee made after November of 2002. To answer the second question I would agree with the your first response.

This is just a guess , does that model jeep have the spare tire equipment tools on the inside rear quarter pannel ? If so then some of those panels may have allowed acces to the little guys to roam . One other idea if it has a fuel pump acces door either at the rear seat or rear cargo area they theoretically might have been able to escape ? Just a thought , then again they could be playing mission impossible .

Thanks, Speed.

 

I have no idea other than it was aliens in my garage.

 

The crawfish no the garage floor was covered in some type of lint and dirt from working his way out of the vehicle.

 

Just hope a third one did not die and we will have to put up with that oder.

Yeah , I know the feeling . We had a mechanic  who had an old  gutted out  work  , and we dumped a tube of crickets in the back , good lord we cleaned up and found crickets for almost 2 weeks . We found crickets in places that still boggle the mind .

Get yourself a bass and put it in the Jeep. If another crawfish is still at large, the bass is sure to find and eat it.

Febreeze works wonders , had a new mom leave her car with us on vacation and left a half empty milk bottle under a seat . Well it pressurised and went off after it sat in the summer sun for 4 hrs . We performed a Febreeze baptism ... it took a day or so but it eventually stopped.

I like this idea. Then when the crawdad is dead. What dose he use for to get rid of the bass?

I had a pet bass in aquarium back in my bachelor days. Caught a few crawdads in the minnow trap and decided to see if the bass would partake in em. After 2 days they were all gone and we assumed the bass did his thing. About a week later me and my buddy are sitting on the couch after closing down the bar one night. In the far end of the room we both simultaneously catch a brief glimpse of something big crawling for about a foot and then disappear behind some furniture. Sure enough, it was a dried out carpet lint covered mudbug. I ended up finding another one in a closet dead a year later when I moved. How they got out of a covered aquarium will be one of the great mysteries of my life.

My friend's octopus did that . We found him him like 4 days later stuck to the wall behind a sofa chair.
