so to bring this back up again...will it hurt anything to put a truck in the garage,open the doors and hood...close garage and set of 8-10 bug bombs? The truck I am getting is COVERED in black widows....DONT LIKE CRITTERS!
As in "Hurting anything" I mean by the electrical?
Thanks

Here's a recipe for areas that get no or very little summer rain:
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup of tobacco juice (soak about six Skoal bandits in hot water for about an hour)
- 1/2 cup of lemon scented dishwashing liquid
- Mix thoroughly.
- Pour into a hose-end sprayer like pictured below and spray your house, truck, the yard, fences, etc.
- Let it dry.

Sooper (OP), it's been almost 3 months and countless suggestions. Have you vacated the residents of the truck yet?

Man, I tell ya - I'm always so jealous of you guys in the southern states. Rust free trucks with factory air? I'd give my left nut for a score like that - I'm in Vancouver Canada and most of the dents up here are like swiss cheese - salt in the air and on the winter roads is not kind to these things - until I read posts like these! I don't care about rats, critters, wasps, whatever - but if I ever found a black widow in my truck I'd probably have to sell it! Not really but I'm finally thankful now for this Canadian climate. Thanks for makin me smile.

Here's how I solved my Black Widow infestation:
One bomb in the cab, two underneath. Never seen a spider in there since. Of course the can said it treats 400 square feet, so with three could cover 1200 square feet. I figure I probably had the equivalent of 10 square feet.

Buy some CyperWP from doyourownpestcontrol (google it because I'm sure that's not quite the right name), mix 2:1. Spray everywhere. pet-safe, kid-safe, etc. Kills EVERYTHING. We nuked our super tough black widow infestation at the house here in NV and killed every scorpion on the property. It's AWESOME stuff, and if you pay a pest control guy, you never will again. Our freinds pest control guy HATES us because he lost his contract. $30 of the stuff lasts for a couple years and its the same **** they use. It even kills those tough-as-nails big earwigs we get here in the summer.
