Minor freakout; need advice

So like a week ago, K and I were heading home from somewhere and there was a good-sized yellow sac spider on the windshield:

Now, I know they're not harmful, but I freaking hate spiders. I managed to drive calmly til we could stop, but by then the spider had gone down the crack between the dash and the door and was no where to be found.

However, I know he is living in the car, because every morning, my windshield is covered in spider webs. 

How do I get rid of him??? I can't drive without feeling like something is crawling all over my feet! It is driving me nuts.

  • OMG, I would be dying.  I'm petrified of spiders, in fact just that picture is freaking me out.

    I'd have to set off some type of pesticide in the car (finding out what would work for something like that, of course).

    I know. It's creepy. 

    Also:

    1. You never gave an update on the Tosh show.

    2. How was my home state of VT this past weekend?

  • Claire I have no idea how you would get it out.  I don't mind spiders until they are on me.  I hate the feeling of bugs crawling on my body.  Freaks me out.

    We once had a spider living in our tv.  Larry used to have a projection screen tv and every once in awhile it got in front of the light because its shadow would appear on the screen.  Of course that also made it about 10x bigger then its actual size.  We had no idea how to get him out so we just had to live with it. 

  • I have had this happen, and spiders freak me out. I found a non-toxic organic based spray at home depot (or lowes??) and sprayed it on the door and floor board area. I made M drive my car for a day or two and problem solved!

  • I would kill it if I could, I just have not seen the sucker since it first showed itself last weekend...I'm keeping tissues nearby and am on the lookout. So annoying. I don't really want to use pesticide if I don't have to as a) it's a BRAND NEW car and b) I don't know that it's safe for us to breathe in and stuff!
