didnt know were to post this so please move if needed.
what can i use to get spiders out of my car. car was in the shop for 3 weeks with the doors hatch and hood open, so im guessing that when they got in there. one about made me wreck, ive killed 3 so far and im terrified of spiders. one was black with white on it, it was decent size, and 2 were little brown ones. anyone know of anything i can use to get them out, the interior was out of the car when it was in the shop getting nitrous hooked up. makes me paranoid as ****.
thanks

That's a tough one. You could pull your seats out and let a bug bomb off inside your car. That way the poison and smells don't get soaked into your cloth. Let it sit for 24 hours, then fumigate it with lysol and drive around with the windows down for a day.
I think they are made to take care of an entire room so you could probably leave your windows down and close your garage door and take care of all the bugs in your garage too. Just don't leave pets or loved ones in there.

I vote for letting it sit in the sun for a couple of days. The spiders will bake in there and they won't have anything to eat so they should die. I'm thinking maybe a week?

I know the feeling. I had a wolf spider sitting under my T-top. While driving I looked up and saw him right above my head... wonderful. I agree with the sun method though it will take quite some time to kill them all.

You can try the ortho spray but I had no luck when I had this problem. It finally got cold enough outside one night I let it sit out in the 20 degree air to kill them. that would be kinda hard this time of year though. goodluck to ya, i know the feeling i think i have a phobia of spiders.

I had that problem with an old car I bought. I had killed about 8 quater sized spiders and found a few egg sacs before I decided to bug bomb that bitch. I used two cans. It seemed to work pretty good but left the car smelling like old people f*cking for a good week.

When I bought my car, the owner had been overseas for a few months, and the car had been sitting under a tree. An ant colony set up "somewhere"... as I was driving it home (the 600 miles from Houston to Amarillo), I kept seeing little black ants crawl across my dash.
So after I got home, I pulled some interior panels and sprayed RAID up in there (like on the front kick panels, behind the dash, etc). Nope, ants kept crawling across my dash.
Finally I got serious about it, and started looking. I noticed a lot of leaves in the cowl area. Eventually I pulled the PCM. Yep, there under the PCM, was a large clump of dirt full of ants and ant eggs. I scooped them out, washed them out, etc....
No more ants crawling across my dash.![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Fortunately, they were not Fire Ants. I fscking HATE fire ants. They were just little black ants.
So, moral of the story, you may have to dig around and see where they've set up shop. Just because you see them inside the cabin, doesn't mean that is where they are.

I had a serious case like this happen to my first car long ago, and this is what I did that got rid of them for good:
- IF you do not have tented windows, clean your interior windows with ammonia, DO NOT do this step if you have tented windows.
- Turn the car on and after its warmed up, put it on maximum heat with the fan on 3/4th blast (didn't put it on max velocity, because I heard that was bad on the fan if you do it to long).
- Put the car in the sun, and let it run for a while. I did it for about half an hour, then turned the car off, and let it sit for the rest of the day; With the windows up of course.
- If this doesn't do the trick, try throwing a couple hedge apples in there to help speed up the process, spiders HATE these.
After a couple times of doing this, NO SPIDERS!
