see the movie 'eight legged freaks'; may give you some good ideas.

don't fog your car; it's gonna make it stink. Maybe park it in the sun for a few days and bake the little bastards out of there.

You could try getting at 'em with a vacuum.

I wouldn't worry too much about it... They will eventually die from lack of food & water. (Unless of course, you're a slob and your car is an ecosystem.)

dooood, thas crazy,

i think spiders are living in my sunroof! for a while, there were always a couple strands of web in the sunroof (in the morning) and then found a seriously large spider (of the jumping variety) in the sunroof. thankfully the car was stopped or i would have killed myself trying to get it out of the car.

i think this will teach us to park under trees with our sunroofs open...

yeah i've also found small beginnings of webs in my car. I never thought it could be from keeping the windows/sunroof open during the day, thats probly it.

and no i am not a slob in my car.

so im thinking next saturday ill leave the car (with windows closed) in direct sunlight, see what that does. without tint it gets like a friggin oven in there.
