Default My car is INFESTED!!!!!!?

No my IS is fine.. But my 96 240sx, i was driving it today and no problems.
But tonight I was riding with my girl and we saw like 6 spiders in about 30 mins!!
She said her friend had the same thing, some spiders laid eggs in the AC vents!!
Then she said he had to call the exterminators to exterminate his car?!!

Has anyone had some kind of insect infestation?
What should I do, besides obviously clean the crap out of my interior?!
I'm thinking about going to home depot or whatever tomorrow and getting some insect killers or whatever.
But I donno what to do, never had this before

No, actually I drive my 240 every day!!
I think they have just been like hibernating or something all winter.
Just now that the weather is nice they are coming out!

My IS300 is the one that should be infested since it has been in storage all winter! haha

Its because its an "ACT OF GOD!!" Meaning you must sell spider car immediately!!


I have the same problem with my Supra. I've counted 3 different type of spiders in the car which all are deadly and highly poisonous!

1. Black Widow
2. Brown Widow (a sh ! t Ton) Until a bunch of daddy long legs their natural predator somehow managed to take up camp around the car port
3. Brown Recluse

I bomb it a few times a year and it seems to help.

Oh yeah dont buy an IS250 350s are coming down in price so jump on 1 of those

Well its not like they're all in there at the same time. The Brown widows were mainly in the engine bay and under the damn car.

They've all been kind of seasonal..

I have yet to encounter any as of yet this year
