Spiders!!!!

For the past few weeks I have been seeing small baby black spiders in my F10 520d! I come to the car every morning and can see a spider web from the rear view mirror to the windscreen etc!

At the moment they are really small and I have killed around 10 so far but there seem to be more!

Have tried using raid etc but this does not seem to work!

Any ideas? Yes I know of the Mazda recall but this is a genuine post for help as I know these wankers will grow in to full sized beasts if not looked into now! Would a smoke bomb work? Have had a full valet too but this has not helped.

No idea where they are coming from either !

I'd suggest contacting a pest control company, they might have something that could with them, hopefully something that won't make the car smell

Use a high pressure air hose and THOROUGHLY blow out every spot of the interior. Get a angled nozzle and do the same to underside of seats. Ever you think you have done enough, do it again and then shop vac the hell out of the interior. Get a dryer lint cleaner attachment and vacuum air vents. Do same for trunk abd engine bay. You may want to take it to a drive through car wash and do an under carriage wash, maybe several times.
I have killed a few nests in my door jams before. They can easily nest in the areas where water travels in door, trunk, or hood jams, especially in the hood area.
