Spiders in your car - those may be some of the scariest four words ever spoken. Having ants in your car is one thing, but spiders lend a whole new element of creepy-crawly to the equation. Spiders can quickly multiply once they're in your car, too, turning a small problem into a very big one in no time at all. Toyota of Clermont is here with tips - learn how to get spiders out of your car NOW before you have a true infestation.
First, let's talk about how spiders get into your car in the first place. They're creepy crawly - we all know that - and they love to sneak into your Clermont Toyota through open windows and doors, cracks in your hood, doorjambs with broken seals, and your trunk. They also like to hide once they're in there, taking up residence in spots like your air vents, underneath your seats, in your glovebox or center console, inside your side mirrors, and under the dash. (This is making us itchy just talking about it.)
How to get spiders out of your car
As we said, spider infestations can happen FAST and you need to nip it in the bud as quickly as you can. Here are the steps to take to get spiders out of your car.
#1: Clean out your ride. Detail your Clermont Toyota from top to bottom, getting rid of any trash, crumbs, and other debris. Don't make your car a buffet for hungry spiders - keep it clean to deter them from wanting to set up camp. You should also remove any clutter from your car so they have fewer places to hide, and be on the lookout for spider eggs.
#2: Seal the gaps. If you have worn down or cracked rubber seals in your doors and windows, replace them to seal off any entrances to the car. Also, if you're not in your car, keep the doors, windows, sunroof, and trunk closed.
#3: Use spider repellant to kill and deter future spiders. Visit your local home improvement store for spider repellant - not only will it kill the current spiders, but it'll also deter any new ones from coming in. Essential oils are great deterrents, too. Spiders hate citrus, lemon, and eucalyptus scents so spritzing your car with these smells may help.
#4: Put down spider traps. This is another way to kill existing spiders and quickly remove them from your car, especially in places that are hard to reach like under your seats.
#5: Keep your garage clean and choose carefully where you park. Keep your garage as clean as possible - the less clutter, the fewer spiders. You should also avoid parking near debris or heavily wooded areas if you park outside.
