After a quick drive to my friends house I came home to find that there was a MASSIVE spider on the seat belt.

I quickly used a broom to transport it to the ground where I inspected it.

I sprayed 4 chemicals (Spider killer, Silicon lube, Windshield Spray, and Starting Fluid) on it and it wouldn't die.

Im not scared of spiders, but this spider was like half the size of a credit card

How do I get rid of any insects in my truck?

Not just the spray/squish method.

Will a chemical fogger ruin my interior??

DO NOT USE A FOGGER!! Foggers, are in fact, explosive when concentrated in a small area... you don't wanna be give "Fire It Up" a whole new meaning and be featured on Spike TV's "1000 Ways to Die".

Instead, soak a couple of paper towels with an insecticide of your choice and simply place them on a rubber floor mat, crack the windows just a touch, and leave it for a couple of days. The fumes will eventually kill 'em. Of course, vent/air out the truck afterwards.

Btw, disconnect the battery to avoid an errant spark.

 

Obviously this didn't happen in Australia, you need a .22 for our spiders lol

 

Spider probably crawled onto him at his friends house and then didn't want to leave the truck.

I know its useless with out photos.

But can I use a fogger and let it air out? And disconnect both batteries?

 

I guess i got out lucky. Picked up a 79 bronco a few years ago. Noticed it was full of funny looking small bugs. After showing it to a few people it was confirmed it was lice. I put four foggers in it at the same time. Then i let is air out for about a week. Hosed the inside out with bug spray and let it set for a few more days with the windows down. Makes my head itch just hinkin about it.

 

Mmmm....spiders. Flipped a bench seat one time at a junk yard and it look liked 200 teen age spiders sittin right there with their mom.......and she was as large as my hand and hairy as hell. I was with a very large tough lookin' junk yard worker who screamed like a little girl. Me....well, let's just say concrete couldn't have kept me there for another micro second. The worker came back with a gallon of gas in a pump sprayer and lit their little eight legged butts on fire. Didn't care about the truck or anything else, he just wanted them dead.

I'm sure tons of people on here have horrible yard spider stories.....

 

Open one window and blast a torpedo heater through it for a few hours. They will still be there but not moving.

 

Did I miss something? You saw one spider right? One spider does not an infestation make........... just messin' with ya sounded better in my head i guess......

 

See guys... I'm in that teenage dating age where if you ever bring a girl in your truck and she sees a spider, your truck isn't helping your relationship.

I'm kidding. Lol.

Yes it was one spider, but here in Cali that spider was terrifyingly big.

So what I disconnected the batteries and tossed 2 bug bombs in a open coffee can in the cab of the truck.

My biggest fear is the bug spray ruining my interior... Or a spider killing me.



But on the bright side my truck passed smog with a 236 overall.

 

Spidy couldn't have been all bad, he chose a Ford as his wee ride!

I have not laughed this hard in years! The visual image of this in my mind is priceless.

 

Ugh I hate spiders too!!!! Nothing worse! I unashamedly make my wife smash them so I don't have to get near them...

 

Sum Bitch.....I think I'd step up to a 12 gauge if seen one of those.
