So over the past couple of days, ive come across mulitple spiders in my car. Like the creepy hairy jumping spiders. A little smaller than a dime, really creeps the hell out of me. I really hate spiders. What do i do to get rid of them? What products are going to work, what methods? I don't want them in my car anymore!

How often do you use your car? You could get a fogger and use that, then detail the inside of your car and let it air out over a few days.

Other than that I'm clueless. How did they get in there in the first place? Do you store your car over the winter season?

Fixed! :laugh:

I will occasionally find one of these on the car. And every spring I have one that lives on my screen door. I like 'em because they eat the bugs I DON'T like. I tend to leave the big garden spiders alone too. You know, the light brown ones about 3 inches in diameter with two or three dark brown stripes on their abdomen.

I ocassionally find the white spiders that almost look clear. They are about the size of two pencil erasors side by side. they always happen to swing out (a la spiderman) right in front of my face as I am doing something like downshifting and turning hard. Nothing freaks you out faster than having a spider fly in your face while you are driving fast and turning.
 
Smaller than a dime? Pfft!

My escort had some in it when I first got it. I just ignored them/killed them if I easily could and eventually they disappear... for the most part.
 
my dad once knew a guy who owed a man a LOT of money and never paid it. in return, the man who was out all that money got a hold of MANY baby black widow spiders and put them in the guy's brand new M3. He had to get rid of the car because they couldnt do anything about it.
 
well ill just go ahead and kicked them in their spider nuts.....:nonono:....... Well yeah i don't store it over the winters, its my DD in college, and just sits in my driveway and i maybe drive it a mile or two a day.

You're LYING! You have to be lying, because that is too damn funny. how much money was it anyways?1
 
how much money was what? the car? no one had any idea what to do with it. there were thousands of spiders. they obviously couldnt fumigate, there was no way to kill them all by hand... i swear on my life that this is a true story.
 
Bugs in car?? SOLUTION !!

Bugs in car?? SOLUTION !!

Raid Fumigators. They make no mess and work in less than 4 hours. Done, nearly no cleanup - just vac up the carcasses. Dead. All dead. Everything dead.

Just be sure to get the fumigators and not the fogger. Foggers will make a hella bad mess and maybe ruin your interior.

I've been using these for year for house, office, and occasionally a vehicle. When you store the car for a while, or haul seats & stuff home from the bone yard, or forget a soda or some wrappers in your car the ants around here will come by the thousands and nest under the carpet or dash. Fumigators kill 'em, no problem.
 
Do you think rolling the windows up and parking the car in the sun for an entire day would get them? if your car is black I would think that would take care of the problem.
 
I was laughing at you guys who had spiders in your car until today when I was taking a sharp left hand turn at a decent speed and one of those clear looking spiders swung right in front of my face! I pulled off to side side of the road because I was freaking out (I hate bugs!). It was dangling from the top of my drivers side a pillar and that little rascal creeped back under the a pillar. I pulled the a pillar and couldn't find him. :bah: I hope that frigger dies and doesn't haunt me again.
