    Hi All!
    I have a Toyota brand trifold cover and 99% of the time it’s always closed because I rarely haul anything.

    That being said I discovered a large spider with a thick web. I have also seen a few running across the cover and one on the back window.

    I removed my cover for a few weeks and also rinsed down the bed.

    Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?

    You parked under trees? I'm parked under pecan trees, I get occasional spiders, some small black ants that love that tree

    Just release a mongoose or chupacabra in there. He’ll eat the spiders.

    Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, once spiders take a liking to your truck there's only one thing you can do...

    Does anyone know how to get rid of a mongoose in my bed? I put one in there to get rid of the spiders and now he won’t leave.

    Good. I was a little hesitant on the baboon idea thinking a lion would be next.

    I just watched that. Very good to know if I ever break down wheeling in Africa.
