Unhappy Spiders in my car!

After leaving the school parking lot today, I was sitting at a light when my friend sitting in the passengers seat yells "what the ****!? SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hundreds of tiny spiders (possibly some wierd looking ants, but they look like spiders and they move too fast and are too small for me to count legs) were crawling all over my dash! I think they are baby spiders that hatched somewhere in the car. I tried vacuuming them up but they keep coming from somewhere. Please HELP! I don't know what to do

Get a fogger type ant or bug killer, take out your stereo and fog your dash.

I don't think so, I guess you could try a few out and see what they smell like.

You could always leave the t-tops out and let the car air itself out in the school parking lot.

yes it will make your car smell like ****. horrible idea.
your fbody isnt a 5000sq ft. house. should be easy to find out where those bastards are coming from. move your hand around in the dark parts until you get bit by the mother spider. that will be the indicator.

I had the same problem with mine after my car sat for a year at a buddy's house while it was down. I had all kind of weird **** crawling around. Luckily most were outside. I sprayed everything with Raid and then washed it with a power washer.
