Default bug spray=paint damage?

Here's the deal.. I just found a whole herd of brown widow spiders in my garage... there are spider webs everywhere, even inside the car... I want to just fog the entire garage with bug spray, car and all. (don't like spiders, especially poisonous ones!) Do you guys think it would hurt the paint or the car in general to leave it in the garage?

it wont hurt it at all. Its just gas. I dont blame you, i hate spiders with a passion! Im really scared of them..lol....I would open the doors and hatch, then set off as many cans i you can for the area. Each can will do so many feet an area. Let it empty out and do it again..lol. Then go have you carpet steam cleaned.

not a garage queen... just broken!

good to know it probably won't hurt anything... I mean, ive got spiderwebs in the dash, control arms, brake rotors.. its ridiculous. I don't wanna be reaching into the toolbox for a wrench and get bitten by a black widow... that would rather suck!

time for a trip to walmart!

theres gotta be a number to call with "questions or comment".... most products no matter what have a contact number... call em up n see what they have to say... i would definitely take the people who produce that stuffs opinion over someone on the forums... "no offense" but the people who make that crap would/or should know....
