    does anyone else get spiders in their wranglers? I’ve had 2 and each one always had baby spiders. From brand new to used they get spiders! Lol I hate them. Yesterday I hit a web when I got him scared the hell out of me hopped out and shook my clothes off. Then while driving I guess he decided to say hello and land on my shoulder. I about jumped out of my skin. Before this there was a little tiny one crawling on the ceiling. Sadly he lost his life that day.

    Bug bomb the inside of the Jeep. (only kidding, not sure how the radio and such would handle that.)

    I live in the country to I get all sorts of fun creatures in my Jeeps. If I drove a Wrangler I am not sure I would leave it overnight with the tops and doors off. No telling what might end up in it.

    I have found snake skins in my Jeeps, had a mouse or two run around the floor boards.

    Happens occasionally in any vehicle. Start with a thorough vacuuming of carpets and accessible crevices. Generally there is a finite amount in the vehicle but if not it may be worth lightly spraying deodorized (ok smelling) bug spray to discourage them from hanging around until they clear out. A visitor every now and then may not be a infestation. A clean vehicle of excess stuff or wrappers goes a long way to keeping it relatively bug-free. Now if it's a black widow all bets are off....

    I don’t know what it was. I flung it off my shoulder to quick. I saw a flash of black legs tho. Better safe than sorry especially because my little one rides in the back. I also thought of a bug bomb lol but didn’t know if that was appropriate for a vehicle. This one is used so I don’t know what the previously owner had going on but when I had my new one it only took one time of seeing a spider and not killing it to see the babies of that spider every day lmao

    Omg.....I hate spiders. If I had one in my jeep, first call would be to the insurance company telling them my jeep burned down
