De-bugging the cab!

I was on active duty for 19 months. While I was gone, my truck sat stored in the dry shed at my uncle's. I had a tarp over it, but that didn't necessarily keep the bugs out of the cab. A fogger is overkill--literally--but what can I use before I find wasps or spiders or who knows what else when I dive back into things once my hand heals from Wednesday's surgery?

Thanks!

a CO2 extinguisher...just make sure not to apply it directly to upholstry, etcas it discharges at 115 degrees below zero...it also depletes oxygen...by cracking open a window and spaying it in will also work.

It will chase out anything is a matter of minutes, suffocate in 4-6 minutes, freeze almost immediately on contact
