Spider living in vents

[lynnpt2001]

This guy appeared today while driving, went back down into the vent. Need advice on how to get him

 

[smartypnz]

Needs to buckle up.

Figured I can drive in the HOV 2 lane now that I have a passenger

Assuming it’s not a poisonous spider, they make their living eating other bugs so....

 

[lynnpt2001]

Another concern if it is pregnant and drops 1000+ babies

Nuke if from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...

That's not a bug, it's a feature.

But if you really want to get rid of it, let a few dozen centipedes loose in the vents. One of them is bound to find that spider and eat it.

I wonder if you just jack the heat way up on high if it will force it out.

Yeah, but then you’ll need to let some toads loose to eat the centipedes.

Living in the vents? Vote him off. It's an imposter.

On a serious note, a small vacuum cleaner could remove it humanely. Then empty the spider after. Make sure the vacuum cleaner is empty first so you can tell if you got it.

At least it doesn't shed hair like my german shepherd

A spider in your vents? Sorry, your car is now considered a total loss.

I can't believe all but 1 comment is actually helpful. Eveyeone a comedian nowadays.

You can use the vacuum. You should also take out the dash top trim to get into the vents. Also the vents are continuous on the floor under center console where it exists at 2 vents under your driver and passenger front seats. Heat? Maybe. There are sprays you can get for spiders but I wouldn't want to put it in vent system where you breath this air.

Next time you see it, rather than take his pretty picture, get that device in the first Matrix, the one that removes "bugs". That'll do the trick, as it can see thru and suck thru the dash material.

Bug bomb the garage and remotely run the climate control for a little bit with the car in there, if you want to be really sure.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. You're in Pennsylvania, not Australia. It's not a black widow, or a brown recluse. It's some sort of harmless wolf spider, I'd bet. And it won't be "nesting" in there; that's a hunter of some kind (i.e. not web-spinning), and it looks like it's probably a male (pedipalps). You probably won't see it again. And if you do, and you don't want to ever see it again, smash it and be done with it. Definitely not worth tearing apart the dash or poisoning/burning your whole car.

Release some radioactivity into the car.

Wait for the spider to bite you.

Fight crime and take pictures for the Daily Bugle.

 

[Gasaraki]

Burn it down.

If Im not mistaken, all bugs love Harvey wallbangers. Mix it up when you get home
and place it in your car. If it does not work then drink it.
Problem solved either way.
