Just for fun I forwarded the spider story to Sean Meldrum who got a kick
out of it but he also had a similar problem in a 78 Firebird once. I
thought I would pass along what he did to kill his bugs back then, maybe
it will help you...

Hope this helps you. I don't know if I could open a fogger up in my
truck or not, but if you keep getting visited by those little suckers
you may want to try something along these lines.
good luck!
