I have a spider living in my 4runner

Give him 2 weeks to feed...

I told my wife about this hilarious spider thread and the various solutions suggested like nuking and burning the vehicle. She tells me she’s had a spider web in her exterior passenger mirror every morning for many weeks. She wipes it away in the morning with a towel, the next morning it reappears.
I go out tonight to take a look for myself. Sure enough, a large scraggly spider web between the mirror and window. And a large dead beetle was caught in it. (WTF was a beetle doing looking in the mirror?). So I get out the shop vac and suck up the web, beetle, and all around the mirror and all the gaps behind it. Then I spray window cleaner in there, mostly isopropyl alcohol. Then permethrin insect repellent. Let’s see if the bastard survives that attack!

EDIT: As of two days later, the spider is gone!

For the sake of discussion, I've heard bug bombing your car is not good. Was that bad info?

Also, while I appreciate what spiders do for the whole food cycle and what not, I just would appreciate if they do it somewhere the **** out of my view.
 
Now that you rid yourselves of the Spyder all you need to worry about is Zika, Dengue and Malaria. Mosquitos kill more people than all other wildlife combined, obviously it was living off something...
 
A long time ago I heard a story of someone who discovered a banana slug in their RV and then . . . couldn't find it again. Ever.

I think I'd have to just push the vehicle into the ocean after that.
 
It may turn into this.

Fire. Lots and lots of fire...

:p

If it’s not a poisonous spider, get a jar, catch and release in yard or something. Spiders are beneficial insects.

If poisonous, if you see him, kill the hell out of him with the best instrument you have. Shoes are usually good.

At any rate, take a stick and remove his web. He may show himself, then you could proceed w the above.

Spiders are usually harmless. I let them live in and around my house unless they annoy me, I put them outside.

I kill poisonous such as black widows.

I would not do Raid, cough cough
 
You could pick up an Ozone generator and run that for a while in the sealed car. It will kill anything living and get rid of any Odors as well. Vent well when you're done.
 
When I was young, when we wanted to kill insect, we would ‘Shout’ it out!! My Mother taught me that.

Shout stain remover is petroleum based and will kill just abt any bug, even centipedes. Lol really.
