get a spray called " Miss Muffet`s Revenge " ( Wet & Forget Shop), it works a treat, we do it all the time with company vehicles, no stains.

You need to get rid of the spider lol.We have one in each wing mirror and everyday we clear the web it rebuilds it overnight lol.It must get very annoyed at us for constantly destroying its webs.

Had to do it yesterday. Catch a fly and throw it in the web. When the spider appears, spray it with fly spray. Easy.

I wrap a plastic bag around the wing mirror and gas him with fly spray then tie the bag up

As above a product like mis muffet or any spider/bug killer stuff you spray around the house you can spray on the car where the webs get. I use Ripcord and it works great. Dont get webs for months after. And do ya house to it really works

Easy. install a spider that hunts and eats other spiders! A white tailed spider would be perfect for the job

I love this idea never thought of it before . I do hose blast in then pour boiling water after and then blast again = works for up to 6 months provided another spider doesn't po its nest in there after !

If it works a treat why would you have to do it all all the time. Take the car to NZ Agriculture Dept and get them to fumigate the car.

Use some contact fly and bug spray which has a 30 day contact killing time, spider has to come out at some stage right, it steps on the contact killer et voila .spider est mort ! Die schweinehund spinne ist tot .Ja!.

I have the same problems here with Spiders here in Upper Hutt - you clean your car and they are back in 3 days - Last few years spiders here are particular big and their is some unusual insects around i never seen anywhere esle in the country!- got told that Pilzar or the other US based chemical company based here buried radiative material somewhere in Upper Hutt but that they do not know where and apparently Upper Hutt Radiation in the soil is quite high compared to other areas maybe the Spiders are feeding of it.and getting bigger:. ye Gods) LOL

Kiwicare product called "No more spiders" Find it at most hardware stores.
Spray it on the webs and walk away. Spiders will be tits-up on the ground the next day. And they don't re-inhabit for a long time.

Im not dead.yet. Bit unwell lol but far from dead. I wouldnt recommend spraying around door handles etc but around mirrors, grills, gaurds etc etc it works well.

+1 It works for me.It also pays to rinse with water or carwash stuff and wipe off any overspray that might leak out.

find out where the insects are and spray them,i find that spiders come out at night and you can see them then,my car transporter gets them every where so i try to keep on killing the blitters.
