Default S2000 Spiders!

I recently moved into a house which has had a spider problem . I finally took care of that with tons of preventative spraying and other home remedies.

Here's the bad part.. I think they moved from the house to my s2000 I absolutely hate spiders. They make my heart race and my body freeze up just to see one. Especially when it's dark and I can see the silhouette crawling up the inside of the window.

What can I do??? Just spray the car with indoor spray like I did the house??

This is terrible. I've been leaving the top down when driving almost 100% of the time, even in rain so they get sucked out lol.

buy some insect bombs. leave the car in the garage, drop the windows and set 2 off -one in the cabin and one under the engine bay.

air out for a long while afterwards.

use some surface spray to keep them away afterwards.

I had huntsman spiders living in my car - this seems to have taken care of em (for now..)

goodluck

Spiders have to eat something. I wonder if you have spiders because there's a food source (you also have a bug problem).

Other than the black widow and the brown recluse, spiders are generally a good thing (if I see one in the house, I re-locate it to one of the house plants).

I've seen this before, here is what you should do.
Watch the car for a little while and try to find the largest spider. Once you have identified the largest one, you will know that he is the leader. Do NOT kill this spider. However, you need to capture this leader and rough him up a bit. Just berate him for a while and push him around. Then break one of his legs and put him back into the car. This will demonstrate to him and all the other spiders that you are not a man to be trifled with. They will move on....they will definitely move on.

Better start looking for the Queen! Didn't you ever watch Arachnophobia as a kid? lolz

There are only a couple species of spiders that can hurt a human but causing you to wreck because you have a wolf spider on your sun visor would be far worse than being bit by a poisonous spider.

Kill only one of them, and they will all go to the funeral. It might work.
