Default Insects inside hatchie...should I be worried?

My 91 hatchie is taking a break from driving as it is currently getting new wheels coming in, but inside I notice webs and spiders. I hate spiders but more importantly, should I be worried of the spiders or insects chewing up important wires or damaging anything? I'd spray the car with Raid but I don't want that unless I have to.

I know moths eat sweaters. Mabey you should put some mothballs in there for protection.

Insects are no big deal. But I would be worried about rodents. I left my car in my garage for 3 months and mice chewed up my oxygen sensor wiring and reverse wiring.

Spiders or other bugs won't hurt anything.

yeah if your car is sitting for a while and have bugs like that, bet you have a mouse nest in your blower motor!

OP, I can't believe you'd be ok with having bugs in your car.

I'd get some bug bomb asap.

Yes, My borther works at Ford he said that the newer fords they make have some sort of plastic that attracts mice and they eat threw the material and the wires and mess the whole car up, look it up. Thats what you should be worried about. My Crx has spiders and webs in it...but its been sitting in my backyard for about 5 months
