how to get rid of spiders / cockroachers from your car

Postby basics » Sun Dec 18, 2016 7:25 am

i bought my Pajero from a farm down south, and looks like it was sitting in a shed for months on end.

ive owned it a good 6 months now, cleaning it nearly every weekend only to find spiders webs the very next day.
yesterday i was washing it and noticed three cockroachers running down the panel, from my rear window :evil:

ive tried spider spray from the super market and ive killed over 20 that ive seen in the time ive had it.

is there a wash out there that is suitible for cars that wont damage my paint job?

any one had any issues like this, thanks

My only thought is if you know anyone with an empty transport container, drive in and set off a flea/ bug bomb or similar and close the container door.
Or failing that you can get huge plastic bags from places like Blackwoods (called fish bags) same thing envelope car and set off a bug bomb.

Do you have a knapsack sprayer or even a small 2 litre type pump sprayer?

Buy some spider chemical from a rural supplies store (or maybe mitre10 etc), mix that up and spray it in door jams, mirrors etc and they will run out. It's what the fly &a spider control people use for houses and it goes good. I use ripcord but anything similar should work.
