Why is it spiders ....
like to crawl up under car covers!!!
Had a big one drop out from under the cover right when I was taking it off.
I wish they would leave my car alone and go make their home some where else

I spray my entire garage with heavy duty bug spray every couple of months and it keeps the bugs under control nicely. I rarely find a bug in my garage.

My car is outside under a cover so that won't work.

Drive it more and they won't have time to make the webs.
OP - I would guess it is because it is dark up under the cover and they like that type of environment.

I would much rather spiders than roaches or house centipedes. Still creepy

Small insects aren't a real problem. Mice, on the other hand, can cause serious problems if they chew wires or get into the vent system.

I saw some tiny paw prints one day on my windshield and freaked out.
