Question What to do with pc that might have had multiple spiders crawl into it

[LlL TONI'S]

So recently I discovered multiple spiders near my pc and I'm afraid some might have crawled in. Anything i should do to check for them/get them out or do I just leave them be.

Well, vinegar is a good spider repellent, you could try putting some around the case to make them crawl out, otherwise I'm not too sure, maybe check some subreddit related to spiders or insects.

Have you thought about opening your pc and cleaning it?

Idk, some people (like me) are afraid of spiders (arachnophobia) like me, could be the same in his case.

Burn it with fire?
If they get into a fan they could possibly clock it up but otherwise I don't think there could be any problem.

I really don’t think they wanna be inside your computer anyway they need to eat bugs

Another thing worth noting is the only real entrance for a spider is the back of the case through the gpu slot. What are the chances they might have crawled through there

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be completely sure.

Considering that spiders like anywhere that is dark, they could have gone through there, as i said, some vinegar should do the trick.

Primarily, though...they want lunch.

In any case, to discover and eradicate if necessary...someone is going to have to open it up and look around.

I put some red wine vinegar around the case(mainly near the openings) will that work or do I need a specific type of vinegar?

I think that should do it, spiders are repelled by vinegar because the acetic acid in it is harmful to them, truth be told, spraying a somewhat concenterated solution might even kill them.

The most recommended vinegar is white, but i think red wine vinegar should do it too

Also, while spraying it directly on them kills spiders, the smell of vinegar is enough to keep them away.

True that, but if you can do with leaving a little bottle of vinegar around the case (or better yet, inside it) it'll give off such a strong smell that's enough to have them out of there.

Yea I just put a cup of it next to it, I put some lemon juice in there too to really make sure it smells bad

Hope the pc is not in your bedroom.
LOL

How large are your spiders? Like this?

You could just put on some gloves and slowly open it up and clean it out with vinegar spray in your off-hand. You are going to have to look in there eventually so you might as well before it lays eggs.
