Step one: don’t swerve; pull over safely, breathe, and escort eight-legs out with a tissue or card like you’re bouncing a rowdy pub guest. Vacuum the interior (mats, seat rails, visors) and wipe away webs and egg sacs, then spritz gaps with a peppermint or eucalyptus oil solution—spiders hate it, Aussies usually don’t. Check door seals, mirror housings and the boot for hidey-holes; a blast of compressed air helps dislodge freeloaders. Park in the sun with windows cracked for a few minutes, then set sticky traps under seats for stragglers. Skip bug bombs while you’re in the car, and if one drops in mid-drive, pull over again; pride recovers faster than a bent bumper. Do this weekly and your ride becomes less spider sharehouse, more human-only residence.
