    Getting Rid of Small Spiders

    Since I've started cleaning my recently bought MK3, I've found that every other morning there are a bunch of small spider webs around the side mirrors, front bumper/headlights, behind the grille and sometimes inside the car near the side mirrors. Bloody annoying!

    I've seen the spiders - they are small and some were wiped out when I removed the front number plate.

    Is it OK to spray with some heavy duty insect spray (eg. Baygon outdoor spider) without damaging the paint or plastics? Any other suggested sprays?

    I shut my car car in the garage and lob in a bug bomb then leave it over night.

    Kills everything in the garage too!

    Ta. Good suggestion. Something like "killing two birds with one stone" then?

    Hmmmmm, good idea that. I'm getting loads of weeny spiders making homes somewhere in my interior.

    Do you put the bug bomb IN the car, or just in the garage?
