Spiders

Ok i have been having this problem for a few weeks. I think as weird as it sounds that spiders have nested in my car vents. They just keep crawling out of the ac ducts and i am really starting to get annoyed. I am not the biggest fan of bugs but i cant just keep killing them because there are just too many. What can i do about this?

Winter is coming. That and a thorough spraying for bugs in the garage helped. Had the same problem with my '04 Acura TL. Never had the problem since.

Yeah winter will kill them off. I wouldn't spray anything anywhere inside your car though.

I had one dangling right next to my head as I was going around a traffic circle, the centrifugal force made it swing in front of my eyes. Scared the shit out of me, lol.

On four separate occasions in a few different cars, a spider has decided to dangle in front of my face while driving. Talk about catching you off guard. I mean, does this happen to people often considering it has happened to me on more than one occasion?

I get 'em all the time too. Probably cause I have the top down pretty frequently. But the other day I found several spider nests with egg-sacs in the pockets under the trunk lid.
