Mass Extinction

I got some wierd spiders in my truck. I have a felling it is male and female due to both looking the same but 2 different sizes. I picked them up at work so I dont know what part of the country or planet they came from. They are off white (almost yellowish) and really fast. The bigger one is about 3/4" from front to back. I know that isnt big (I used to own taranchulas) but when you dont know about what they can do and walk right infront of you at night going down the highway it kind of put them up on the WTF scale. I tried to smack them but that is how I know they are fast. I havent seen them since but they leave me presents if I havent drove it in a day (webs).

I want to kill everything that moves in there but not humans. Think it would be ok to crack a window and set off a dry fumigater in there?

Are you sure you're in the right forum? Were you looking for Animal Planet?

Just kidding...Wait until summer and park it out in the sun on a paved lot. I don't think they would survive that heat.

My uncle did that with an old RV he bought and it worked pretty good! He used "Bug Bomb" and just left all the windows cracked for 2 days. After that all the little bugs and spiders seemed to have gone away.

Well one good thing is the wife wont take it with them in there.

I think I'll try the bomb. I'll look for one with no residue. The trailblazer I bought for her came with some small roaches. Bought it from the dealer like that. Didnt notice it untile a little while later wehn going to get something at night and saw one run under the dash. If it works on the ex I'll try it in hers.

I work on a few medical transport vans . Sometimes we have to debug them . I use Bengal Roach spray . It is a spray powder . No smell , safe . You can use it and drive the same day . It kills most bugs . I now use it at my house for spiders ! An 80 year old house has bug issues ! LoL !

an old farmer trick is to use moth ***** too, that will keep them away, just stick them in some corners here and there and they will be gone.

Meh, just drive the dang thing. Maybe keep a insect-eating bird or frog in the truck.
