If you're like most people, you probably hate finding you have an insect problem in your car. When spiders, ants, beetles and other insects make a home in your vehicle, it can become a major nuisance to you and your family. Worse yet, is when the presence of insects invites small animals to try to get into your vehicle, too. We usually don't notice too often unless they die in our car and give off a horrible odor!

Since we helped people purchase cars with a bad credit auto loan, we certainly encourage protecting your car from the inside out. So what can you do to keep those little pests out of your car? Well many people have asked this question too and the folks at eHow have answered!

An Easy Solution

The website eHow has several different articles and approaches to keep your automobile a bug-free zone. Below we've listed a few of the quickest and easiest solutions.

  • Keep it Clean! -Be sure to keep your vehicle clean on a regular basis. This is the best way to deter bugs from making themselves at home.
  • Use a power vacuum - Make sure to keep your carpets and mats super clean! If you have a weak vacuum, use the pay-per-use vacuums at your gas station or car wash.
  • Vinegar, Lemon and Vanilla! Oh my! - Making a solution of vinegar and lemon or vanilla is a great way to keep bugs and spiders out because they don't like the smells. Just wipe your surfaces with this quick fix. There are other herbs that also turn away unwanted visitors, such as eucalyptus.
  • Insecticide -A little goes a long way! Once your car is all clean, spray a little under each mat; just enough to keep critters away but not to overpower you with its smell. If you keep you car outside, spray around the perimeter of your vehicle too.

Using these tips will definitely help you to have a pest-less automobile. But if you already have a larger pest in your vehicle like mice or other rodent,s then you'll want to get rid of them before they do die. Dryer sheets and snap traps are the best method to get rid of the little critters. But if they have died, you'll want to scour your vehicle for the carcass and remove. Be sure to clean the area extra well.
