    Happy Friday everyone. I hopped in the car to see spider webs all over my dash and windshield. I have no idea where the little bastards come from. has anyone else had issues with spiders getting in?

    I never leave the window rolled down and I rarely use them.

    TL;DR do i need to just burn the damn thing?

    i wouldn't burn it down just yet. lizards and monkeys eat spiders so just head over to petsmart to adopt a few.

    Don't burn it until you know for sure what kind of spiders they are. Is your truck a Mexico built truck? If so, you will have to surrender the truck because you have imported mexican spiders. If it was a texas built truck, drive it to Mexico and find another ride back, those Texas spider are ruthless.
    Either way, what are you getting for your next vehicle?

    It's a Mexico truck, so send it back right? I'm thinking of going on copart.com and buying the empty husk of a burnt down taco to replace mine. https://www.copart.com/lot/55870059 should be spider safe right?

    Small spiders have always liked my Tacoma's, they usually build webs in the side mirrors, the bed, and grille area.

    We have a spider ridden garage. I park with the windows open most always. For whatever reason, no bugs in the Taco.

    Possibly be sure that you are not leaving crumbs from food behind?

    I’d get a “pest strip”; hang it in the cab for 24 hours (stay out of cab). Take pest strip down and air out the cab, drive.

    You might try Ozoning it. The upside is that the Ozone machine is fairly inexpensive and can be used later for mold/weird smells in your house or other cars.

    I also have this issue. They seem to be living in the headliner because I've had them come down across the inside of the windshield at night while I'm driving and then run back up into it when I try to goosh em
