:rant: Spiders in my car!

I went in to work yesterday, had to pick up a car to deliver to someone. I left my car parked by my office in front. I do know that in the summertime we tend to get a lot of spiders in front trying to make themselves a little cobweb, especially between the cars I have parked in my lot. Anyways my car was only parked in my lot for 24 hours, I jump in it this afternoon only to find frikkin webs all over my front windshield on the inside of my car. Made their way in through the cracks, who knows?
Anyone have any solutions to kill the fockers? I really don't want to have to clean my windshield every day from webs and stuff, and I don't think it'll be very likely that they would be coming out to play when I'm driving. Suggestions? This sucks man...

I've had some show up while I was driving. I managed to kill them without crashing.

I don't know what you can do to get rid of them except put your car in direct sunlight and leave it there for a while so they get cooked.

I'd rather have spiders in my car than snakes on a plane.

Jumped in my car tonight to go home, and as you know it, smack in the middle of my line of site was the spider on my windshield. I killed the focker and had to clean off all the webs on the glass once again...

put one of those raid bombs in your car....and then detail out the interior.
That is what I did.

When the come out, squash 'em... I've had one in my CLS and it freaked me out when I was driving, so I hesitated, and the fucker got away before I could squish 'em. Bastard ran across the dash board while I was pulling into the driveway, and bam!!

it happened to me last week... the spider (a rather small one) was dangling right in front of me... it took a second or two for my eyes to focus, when I realized what it was... I freaked out, swerving the car a little... of course, after I got the car going straight again... I looked for the spider and it was gone! Now, I'm even more freaked out... luckily, I was almost to my destination... I parked, jumped out and made sure it wasn't on me...

There is no way to stop it unless you spray your engine down with cold water after every drive
