I'd blast off and nuke it from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.

They will be gone soon.
The real question is what does this do to his payload capacity?

Depends on the variety of spiders, how many there are, and whether they are couch spiders or athletic spiders...

Lol, as long as we're discussing hitchhiking critters...


Bought my truck back in June, but apparently it's been on the lot since late April/early May. About a week ago I went to install a backup camera, and part of the job was taking the original handle out. Lo and behold, attaché to the inside of the handle assembly (the part that resides INSIDE the tailgate) had a honeycomb wasp nest attached to it. Looked like it's been long deserted, so I'm guessing the wasps got in it either at the factory lot (KC) or the dealer lot. Now how they got in there, I have no idea. With the tailgate up, the only way I can think of is through the hole in the bottom of the tailgate. And even then, it would take a mighty thin wasp lol.

Thank goodness it was deserted!

If I found that in my truck, I'd sell it and move to a cold weather state. Is that a recluse?
