spider problem
#23
When I was a kid, we used to sneak out with the Raid can and a Bic lighter so we could set GI Joe toys on fire with our patented Raid flamethrower.

It's a wonder we didn't burn the whole neighborhood to the ground...

....one time the flame traveled back into the can and blew up on him. One of the funniest things I've ever seen.
As for the bug bombs, most are designed to produce little to no residue so set one of those bad boys off and you'll clear them out. They'll come back again though.

I too have the spiders factory option. Never had the issue in other cars, only this one. Almost every damn day I see one, or step down into a web when getting in the car. Sometimes I'll even be driving along and have a little bastard slip down a web strand and dangle right in front of my face while I'm driving. That works well, because I'm terrified of spiders and I nearly wreck trying to find something to smash it with.

Having let my car sit after doing a bunch of work led me to a brown widow problem. They were everywhere underneath and making their way inside. The fogger worked so go with that. I still can't shake the chills I get when I re-live having to drop my transmission with these little bastards coming down on me.
If your going to spider bomb the car, don't forget the trunk, leave the glove compartment open, get the the underside of the car and if it's kept in a garage then bomb there too. I hate spiders with a ******* vengeance. Kill em' all.

We had a horrible brown widow problem here for a couple of years. Took a ton of hard work but we got them under control. The thick web is a giveaway so we just looked for them every day and sprayed directly on them and the egg sack. 1,000 cans of spider killer later and we rarely see them now.

I never see spiders in my cars. Except today. Went to roll up the window as I was getting on the highway and there's one dangling from the roof down towards the door sill. It was decent sized but probably not one that's dangerous to humans. I managed to keep the car pointed mostly straight ahead as I hurriedly brushed it out the window. Just thought it was weird that the only time I see a spider in any of my cars is the day after reading this thread. So, I blame all of you.

I also hate spiders, I had a friend bring a old wv rabbit to my shop that has been since turned into an awesome track car but it was towed out of a field and we killed 15+ black widows on it, then I found one hanging off my race car and that was it. We turned off everything one night and lit off an entire case of those bombs and left for the night. The next day we found so many more I coundn't keep track but they where all dead or so close to dead that they didn't move much so we shop vac'ed them up and have not seem any since. We put one in each corner, one dead center, and under front and back of each car.
