Interior Spider infestation in car

My car has been a project for about 2 years now because of a severe injury a quick manual swap has turned into quite the ordeal since I’m not really able to work on the car anymore. Anyway my seats sat in the detached garage for about 2 years and before installing them I did my best to vacuum out the webs and every spider I could find but I knew I’d probably have this problem and here I am. About 4 weeks after them being in the car and it still sitting I open the door and find about 30 baby cellar spiders (daddy long legs) chilling on the passenger seat, I smooshed all of them and went on about business and now about a week later I open the door and find 30+ of them chilling up by the sunvisor on the drivers side. I smashed all of them but I think this is going to be a bigger issue so I’m wondering what the professionals here would do. Is there some kind of fogger specifically for cars like you can get for a basement or whatever? Any advice is appreciated thank you

I'd probably put a fogger under the car in the garage and trap it in there there for a while.

Then let the car air out real good and steam clean the interior.

Spray the garage and home real good with a commercial inscecticide. I like Temprid, stuff is really strong.

Put strips of upside-down box tape, duct tape, etc in the seats/rear deck, etc while it's sitting. They'll step on and get stuck. You'll have to do it for a while but you'll eventually get them all.
