All vehicles are attracting spider webs when parked. They will be under the bumpers, along the sides below the doors and around the wheels. Never had this issue until just recently. Thanks.

Is your vehicle very new? Perhaps it was sitting parked for so long spider egg sacks were placed onto the vehicle and hatched when you brought it home.

Yellow sack spiders are actually a species of spider that are attracted to the smell of gasoline. They tend to hang out on cars nesting in out of the way nooks and crannies typically behind body panels so they can be around gasoline.

They can bite and their bite is painful but it's not highly venomous it'll just be unpleasant and not a trip to the hospital.

I remember stumbling upon nests of these in cars. They seem to not care about the car moving around.

We have two spider seasons here, spring and fall, and yes, every year there will be webs and spiders found on our vehicles. It's especially annoying when one puts a web between the driver side mirror on mine, to the passenger side mirror on my wife's. Then it hits me in the face when I go out to get in. A few times I have gone out right after a hatch, with literally thousands of very tine spiders all over the door. I recently had on on my side mirror, but didn't notice until underway. He managed to hold on at speeds up to 45 MPG
until I parked and removed him.

I know what you're saying Hemlock. This time of year in PNW best hold something out ahead of you as soon as open the front door.

Every morning, new web same place.

Sounds like a plot for a new movie. Let me know when it's available at RedBox

I'll take spiders over rodents any day! Spiders don't chew wiring.

Wash and drive the car more often.


Spray your garage with chemical insecticide. It should be inhospitable to any life forms.
