Burn the car! Ew I hate spiders so bad!


There are a few sprays that you could spray into a towel and wipe down parts of your car. And spray the surrounding area of wherever you park it. That will help.

Usually when I find spiders, anywhere I just vacuum them up.

If you're finding webs in your car...you're not cleaning it enough.

Do you park your car in a garage or outside? If you have a garage try disinfecting and cleaning your garage once and a while to keep those critters from making webs along your ceiling walls and tight spaces.

Arachnids (Spiders)

Many people have an inherent fear of spiders. They are attracted to warm, dark small spaces, like panel gaps, air vents, and in the engine bay or trunk of your vehicle. Some species prefer to stay closer to the outdoors, weaving their webs in your garage, garden or near your outside lighting. Most spiders are a nuisance primarily because of their webbing.

All spiders can and will bite if in danger or accidentally touched; and any spider bite can cause a reaction, ranging from a sting type bite to those requiring hospitalization. Different people react in different ways

when i say web i dont mean like a web web... i mean like 2 or 3 single strands of web that they spun over night that go from one end o the windsheild to the other.

and i park outside.

and im not scared of the spiders or anything im just extremely annoyed that they are in my car... i dont want anything living in my car. especially when they make annoying webs across my windsheild.

and thanks for the recommendation TOGWT. im hoping that those 2 just happened to like walk into the car when i opened the door... but if i see any more im going to have to spray...

I've seen a spider in every car I've ever owned, so much that I consider the car spider lucky Mine must be the stalking type spiders, because I've never seen webs. That would blow my spider tolerance away.

At least you are not alone I guess.... Good luck killing them. I exterminated two wolf spiders last night that were in the guest shower. I'm ruthless with spiders - I like them to suffer! ha!

yea i wouldnt mind a random spider coming in with me every once in a while or something... but i cant stand when they end up living in there... with my last car i would come out every morning to see 5 or 6 shiny strands of spider silk going clear across the windshield from driver side to passenger side... every time i drove at night i saw one and killed it... im pretty sure one laid eggs in it and i had a whole family of them... diddnt care much about my yellow frontier... but i DO NOT want this to happen to my g...

and that bug bomb thing sounds pretty cool.

For those with spiders in the garage. I used an paint insecticide additive that supposed to used outdoors sparingly by mixing a separate batch and painting a six inch band along all the corners of my garage, much like joint compound. This kept my garage web free for 15 years.
