Spiders in the car (Bugs not the IM)
I keep finding baby tan spiders and red spiders in the 928 and want them D-E-A-D! 
Anyone with some experience with this please fill me in. My father suggests putting a bug bomb in there but I dont know if that will leave a stink in the car long after or not. The car sat for a while and Im sure thats how they got in. Please tell me brands too if you have used something that worked great.
This shouldnt matter lol but its an '85 32V US Auto

A bug bomb in a space that small could cause some real damage. DON"T DO IT! Call an exterminqator or try spraying some raid under the dash and around the areas where you are seeing them. start lightly and increase as needed. Do't over do it. Good luck.

Bug bombs I've seen come with warnings about covering leather and such.
Dont' know what it would do to the leather in such a small space.
Poked around organic pesticides and found this:

Not sure how effective it is. I've used diatomeceous earth (fine ground sea shells that corrode insect exoskeleton) to control stuff at home. Not sure if you want to be sprinkling white powder in a car in FL . . .
Problem would be locating where mama laid the eggs. Do the babies all cluster in one location before they scatter in the car?
So would a car sitting in FL sun get hot enough to bake all them critters.
Good luck.
At least these critters don't munch on wiring harnesses.
