    bug bombing a car

    When I got my mk3 it was over-run with spiders. I thought I killed them all and vacuumed up their little webs.

    BUT THEY ARE BACK

    Very annoying, I have killed 6 today. They are jumping ones too, so they really like jumping on the back of my neck while I am driving.... Really annoying.

    Anyone think its a good idea to bug bomb these fuckers out?

    Would leaving the car out in a hot summer day kill them? Or in the cold, but I know the cold won't be happening anytime soon. I would think that a bug bomb will be way to big for a car.

          What you need is a good pesticide with a long residual effect.

          Try this one:

          some advice here.

          Good luck.

          P.S. Ventilate your car well before driving it, you are in for a big headache if you don't. ;)

            Haha, those critter ridders don't look like a bad idea!

            I don't think spray one pesticides will help, because the spiders like to hide under my dash where I can't get to them. Thats why I was thinking a smoky bug bomb would get all over and kill em.

            Thanks for the help, maybe a small bug bomb might work? I could fill a milk jug or something with the smoke stuff then drop it in my car.

              You could put a bird or a frog or some other insect eating creature in your car.

              After all, there was an old lady who swallowed a fly.. I dont know why but I really thought she was gonna die. So she swallowed a spider to catch fly and she swallowed a bird to catch the spider and it jiggled and wriggled inside of her.. or however that stupid song goes.

                  Yeah, bomb them. I had a hornet nest inside my old civic beater, I used a fogger/bomb, worked good.

                      did you let the whole thing go off? did it smell after?

                      I guess I don't care tooooo much about the interior. PO burnt everything apart with cigarettes and it still smells funky from them, I can't really do anything to make it much worse anyways. My headliner is still sticky from tar ;)

                        I would have fucking driven off the fucking road and fucking died. End of fucking story. I am fucking TERRIFIED of spiders.

                          I just let the whole damn thing go, it was a beater so I didn't care what happened, just knew I didn't want to get attacked by hornets while I driving. After I set it off, I just left all the windows open for a few days. I didn't smell any after effects.

                            Post a pic of the spiders. I frickin hate them, but I would be interested in seeing what kind they are. I had very small ones all over the outside of my car when I bought it. The all met untimely deaths.
