my Luv has been sitting for a while out in the back pasture since I broke the drive line now tonight I went out and pulled the drive line out first time I have touched it in a month. Now the black weirdows are moving in and trying to carry it away. Whats the best way to get rid of spiders in general. I dont want to have to get in there and chase them out because thats one thing I cant handle is spiders.

Can of Bug Bomb?

Grandmaster of the "Shade Tree" way.. I can't see the yard for all the cars. Come on down and we will sit on the porch and watch the grass grow.

My old but now gone Luv...

shit...i had the same issue...not so much with black widows specifically but just spiders!!! i have cleaned the interior already, i never even thought of a bug bomb...damn

I never thought of bombing the truck since it sits out side most of the time. I will have to bomb the hell out of the thing I have never seen so many blackwierdows in one place its freaking disgusting

Air out, put a bounch fabric softner sheet under the seat to help with the smell. It works good.

i work at a detail shop and that is one of our lil secrets...or so i thought!!! haha

The interior is about to completly be ripped out and stared over from scratch and the smell in side is so bad from being old and sitting so long I dont know how the spiders can even stand it

Opps, didn't want to let a trade secret out.

Baking Soda in the box or sprinkled around if you have it cleaned out, let set for several days to get some of the old musty smell out.

OdoBan, sold at Sams I think works good. If you have mold you will need to kill it first. Clorix Bleach will kill it. Watch the vapors, use in open area, or used a organic filter mask, that can be had at most home inprovement stores in the paint dept. Don't take a chance with your lungs.

I had a bunch of widows holding my dirt bike trailer to the drive way. First I bombed the inside. Then I just sprayed them with raid under the trailer. I would check and find more the next day and spray them. This went on for a week then I stopped seeing them.

LOL california must be the spider capitol of the world I hate spides so much that I had my brother crawl under the truck today to pull the driveline. I sprayed 2 cans of carb cleaner and stepped on a bunch

Put some moth balls in there, works for snakes too.

good thing there arent any snakes in it or I would be out there with my shot gun and my weed burner torch LOL

We have them here... Found them wrapped around a axle before....

For you city boys, hogs will keep the snake population down. Hogs say "yum yum, tasts like chicken"

we have a lot of snakes around here I killed about 10 rattlesnakes in the last couple of years

I left my creaper on my garage floor for a few weeks and got a nice surprise when I moved it a couple days ago. It looked like hundreds but Im sure it was ten or twenty little baby spiders that mustve hatched on the bottom of my creeper scurried out from under it when I bumped it with my foot. Im kinda squeemish with spiders so that wasnt a good time. I thought northern IL was the spider capital after we moved into this house Damn things are every where. I definately need to bobm the garage though.

We pay an exterminator to spray the house every 3 months. Seems just right to keep all the critters out of the house! And it keeps them limited on the outside too.
