When I say small I don't mean small spiders I just mean spiders. So a couple of days ago my hands swelled up. and I thought it was due to dehydration and one finger in particular was really swollen. My knuckles were very sore and I had fluid on them. Over the past couple days the swelling's gone down as I've been taking medicine and I finally can see the area pretty clearly. it looks like I was bit on my right ring finger at the top knuckle. I've been finding little spiders here and there all over my camper van. some on the inside some on the outside. Tonight I'm watching a show on Netflix and I see something that looks like hair floating. So I blow on it thinking it's my hair because it's kind of long and it just goes back and forth. It then keeps dropping down and I'm like oh Lord. I turn the light on and it's a spider that's probably the size of a half dollar dropping from my ceiling onto my bed. What do you all think I should do to help alleviate my potential spider infestation besides burn down my camper. is there a more sensible approach? It's going to be fun sleeping tonight.

If I was you I wouldn't waste my time on DIY solutions on an infestation this serious.

Catch one of those bastards in a jar, call an exterminator and show him what he has to deal with.

If you are going to be filling your camper with toxic chemical, it's best to leave it to someone who knows what they are doing.

While I do have a bunch of nooks and crannies. The really juicy nooks and crannies have all been covered already. I don't live in one of those beautiful sprinter adventure vans. I live in a it's got a roof and a platform for a bed kind. So I do have a few spots that the little SOB's can hide in but there's not as many as I guess there could be. I try to be vigilant when it comes to removing them the spiders I mean but obviously I'm not going to catch them all. This past week seems to be the worst in the past 3 years of owning this van. I don't know what I did differently to be honest other than being a warm place in Utah for maybe longer than I should have. I think also what happened is I was in an area that had potentially a spider hatching and they just fell all over my van and then ran inside and did whatever. This has happened before but they never stuck around seeing there's no food in here. In this particular circumstance with a little scary monster dropped with an inches of my eyeball I think it was curious because I had my phone on and I was watching something and it wanted to watch it too. That doesn't explain the hand though. And I know from previous experience that those little you know what's can get under sheets. So I think what I have to do before I go to bed for the next couple weeks is pull the sheets back and look to see if there's anything under there before I jump in.
