How do I keep spiders out of my spyder?

Yeah, silly question, but I need to know. There are a couple of vented slots in the dash area of my F3T. If the bike sits for as little as 36 hours, there will be spider webs all over the dash. I suppose that the spider hides in the vented slot, and is ready to pounce on anything that gets in the web. We are not talking about a small couple of webs, they have a full blown Alfred Hitchcock type of web. What can I do to keep them out of, and off of my spyder?
BTW, I stored my RSS, RT, and also my Mustang in this same, climate controled garage and never had this issue. Only other living thing in this garage is my cat. Unfortunately, she doesn't hunt spiders. I even have a little electronic device to keep other pest out of the garage, and have never had a problem with any.

Spray a little bit of Raid (bug killer) in there. It will not hurt the bike at all.

That presents some interesting implications. Apparently spiders are attracted to the F3T but not to the other machines. Is it new? Perhaps, as silly as it may sound, it emits an odor that attracts spiders. Or maybe they like the color. Or maybe they're simply Spyder enthusiasts. Sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment.

The answer may be as straight forward as buying a cover for the F3T, especially is Raid doesn't work. And even if it does it's effectiveness doesn't last forever which means you'll have to keep spraying - or hope spider communications are such that the survivors will warn off the others.

Can you plug the vents with something and then remove the "plugs" prior to riding?

Vinegar or peppermint

White vinegar and water in a spray bottle sprayed around and into the vents or peppermint oil.
