So, I've never had a vehicle that needed storing during the winter so I have some noob questions.

I just cleaned out the 3rd garage spot at my fiancee's mom's house and holy crap are there a lot of bug spiders, eggs and carcasses.. :barf: The area hasn't been touched in about 4yrs so I understand that it became a haven for spiders.

My questions is do I use a car cover or not during winter storage inside the garage. My theory is that if it's not covered, it would attract less spiders. If I do use a cover, I feel the spiders will nest inside the cover and work their way through the vents to get inside the car. The garage is not heated and the winter weather in IL ranges between 20 to -10 degrees during Dec through Feb so I was thinking if anything, to put the cover on in Dec once the spiders are all tucked away already?.. :shrug:

It is what it is!! Car cover is a good idea for the dust at least. Unless you use one of those "Bubbles" for your car ?? You should put a trickle charger on it as well!

That's what I'll do next week before we head to Mexico til March!! No stinking winters for us! Although it doesn't get cold here in Vancouver, no snow at all last year!

I care about infotainment
Anything that prevents spiders is the right choice.

spiders hate fire so i think you should set the car on fire.

Just drive the thing,it"s a car it doesn't need to be stored, it needs to be driven,that is why they put heaters and defrosters in them,for cold ice and snow.
