Default a spider lives in my z!

Damn spider lives in my z. Every morning i wake up to go to work and there will be webs on the three guage pods in the center. Just recently he has starting webbing the rearview mirror. Its been 4 days of this now. I cleaned the car inside and out and havent' found any more webs or the spider himself...i'm hoping i get lucky and sit on him. I don't get it, there can't be any food in there for him, how long does it take for a spider to starve?

I have a whole family of black widows living underneath my Z. Everytime I go do an oil change, I get freaked out when removing the undercover and seeing dead moths, flys, and spiders there.

I can't believe I am reading this! I have the exact same problem. Ive had them drop on me at night while driving! Hoping the impending winter kills the family of 600 I have living in my Z.

Black Widow spiders are quite aggresive and pack a punch...the bite is excruciatingly painful and the effects last for some time. Not known to cause death, but will require an unpleasant stay in the hospital. I'd nuke her if you know where she lives.

Sneak into your car at night with a flashlight, you may find her. ZRA.

Yeah a stakeout maybe inorder. At the beginning when I first saw it, I thought it's just one spider. Then two weeks later there were webs all over the place!!!. She must have laid eggs cuz now I see them all over the place.

You know I actually thought that if I drove fast enough I could flush them all out of my car. Needless to say it didn't work.

2 Things I thought of

1- If their are spiders "under" your car. Drive fast, make the CAT hot =)

2- If their are spiders "inside" your car.

either crank up the A/C and free them to death for about an hour

or crank the heat up

close the doors and watch tv for half hour =)

lol spiders. well they should go away in a few weeks, it doesn't take long for them to die.

I had a spider get caught in the rear speaker shelf on my civic.
Never worried about it, until i found its dead body years later when replacing my 6x9's. hehe.

Black Widows? I didn't know Black widows exist in the states! scary. *no pun intended*

i noticed there was a spider crawling on the windhield/roof/back onto the windshield when i got in my car tonight while still in imy driveway... i was gonna swipe it w/ my wiper but didn't want to smear it so i figure it'll blow off on the higway... after about 5 mile of doing 80-100 on the highway i got off on the exit stopped at a light and the thing crawled back down to the windshield i have no idea how it was able to stay on!

spiders are scary. every time i see em, i scream like a *****. i have to get somebody to kill it for me, even if its not that big. If i end up having to kill it, ill get like 20 layers of toilet paper to pick it up.

I feel all your pain!!! I live in a condo by the lake and there are spiders everywhere. Every morning when I get into my car, I get a face full of webs. Worse feeling in the world! No matter how many times I wipe my face, it always feels like it's still there. I'm actually thinking of leaving a can of Raid in my car and using it for air freshner.
