    My shrieks are normally enough to send them scurrying off!
    There has to be some sort of commercial Spider Repellant on the market...

    Spiders are hard to get rid of unless you can spray them directly. They walk too high on any treated surface to pick up insecticides. IMHO

    A large bag to cover the whole spyder & fog the inside of the bag with raid or something else that won't attack the paint & plastics. Just a suggestion.

    Default Spyders in my spyder

    If you can get your hands on a few osage oranges these work naturally to make them go elsewhere

    I should go in the hedgeapple business. I know where there are plenty of trees. Supposedly, you can roll a few of these up against your home's foundation, and it will keep insects away from your home too. I have a spider issue in my garage and I should try your tip.

    Default Depends....

    How many how offten. I have not found a successful way other than clearing them out till they give up the ghost and move on to somewhere they can reside unbothered....

    Default Spyders vs Spiders

    I use Bounce Dryer Sheets in most compartments and throw some on the seats & floorboards when covered.
    We even put Bounce Sheets in our shoes in the closet - keeps scorpions out too! Works for me......

    That looks more like dirt daubers, rather than wasps.

    UPDATE ................... Dirt Daubers are wasps. LOL

    It was a wasp nest. There was a dead wasp in it when I broke it out of there.
