Found red back spider in my truck.

[540-MAN]

Last night I went to take my truck off the table so I could start putting together my robbe forklift and there was a web under my truck when I picked it up. I hunted around last night trying to find the spider and I knew it was a red back by the way the web was but couldn't see anything.

When I got up this morning I noticed that the web reappeared again so I knew he was still in there. I got the sun light on it he was hiding in between the chassis and the gear box and I was right a red back spider.

Has anybody got any ideas how to get it out as I don't want to spay it just case it might stuff up the electrics in the truck. I was thinking of getting the air hose and blow him out with that. What's everybodies thoughts?

well if my wife was there she would suggest using a double barrelled shotgun to get him out(she hates spiders) what i would do is spray some spider killer on a rag or cloth and set it under your truck and i think for sure the spider would not want to stay near that and would probably come out .i would suggest you take truck outside or be prepared to that the spider will move very fast to get away from the strong smell...just a suggestion

spray some ether (starter fluid) on a rag and lay it under the truck, should put him out
