Default Spiders, not Spyders

So driving home from a long day at work, and all of a sudden skiddering right in front of my face coming out of the headliner on the windshield was a decently sized spider, scared the bajesus out of me.

For the last few days I had seen traces of web here and there in the interior

any suggestions for getting rid of the little buggers?

Serious, and stupid suggestions are more than welcome ^^

Needless to say I wont be parking under a tree EVER again

Keep the windows rolled up. Maybe it'll die of dehydration.

I have the same problem periodically. For probably 2 weeks straight I would find a nicely-formed web somewhere inside my car. I would destroy it every time, but they'd be there the next day. The spiders themselves were pretty small. I haven't seen a web inside of the car for a couple of weeks now, so I'm hoping that they've given up on my car. Wish I had better advice to give you, other than just repeatedly wrecking their homes.

learn the spiders language, mate with its people, and in time you will learn to co-exist with the spiders...

do you smoke? If you don't then I'd suggest you start. Whenever you see bugs or insect or whatever just blow some smoke at them and they freak out.

A fly got stuck in my car one time so I rolled the windows up and by the end of the cigarette he was out.when I put the windows down he woke back up and gtfo of my car.

Doesnt that tell you something about smoking if they dont like it and have been around for longer than you or our species??? Smoke is not good. Just make sure you pick up your butt's.

One time I left my windows down while I was parked next to a treet at a party.

When I got back in the car, there was a huge spider web stretching across the entire opening to the hatch

SWEAR TO GOD YOU GUYS.
