Default Bugs nests?

Has anyone had any issues with bugs nests somewhere in their jeep? I was driving home tonight and had about 4 big moths flying around in my jeep.. Any ideas?

No moths, but spiders like to find new homes if I leave the windows out overnight. I had one hanging out for easily a week straight. Kept coming out when I drove on the highway... probably knew it was hard for me to squish it then.

If I leave the carpets out of the Jeep and in the garage or shed -- the things will be crawling with webs within days.

I walked up to my parked jeep and had a huge hornet not want to leave once. I had the back window out and front windows down, but it kept cruising around the interior and eventually went behind the dash. I waited around like a fool. I hate those things.

No bugs, except on the windshield, but as few spiders here and there, had a mouse once stuck where the stock jack is held other than that nothing special.

Take the top and doors off, if its not big enough to buckle a seatbelt it usually blows out.

Good to know, people passing by probably thought I was an idiot. I was driving with my door open trying to get three moths out of my jeep swerving all over the place! But as long as there's no nests in happy

Hornets nests, a billion spiders, 2 cats. Glad I finally got a home with a garage.
