RoadBlock barrier treatment will rid your car of spiders

If you’ve ever had a spider run across the inside of your windscreen when you’re driving, Aussie car product brand Autonomy Co has heard you scream.

Its new product, RoadBlock – Spider and Ant Automotive Treatment, is designed to keep unwanted insect passengers at bay and reduce motorists' risk of accident or injury.

Made in Australia, RoadBlock is a barrier treatment designed to keep spiders, ants and cobwebs out of vehicles, minimising potentially dangerous distractions for drivers. It’s an essential product for vehicles that are parked outside, particularly in leafy areas, making 4WD owners happy.

Autonomy Director Amanda Lintott says “Australia is home to over 10,000 species of spiders and many of them make their way into vehicles. The most common stowaways are huntsman spiders, which can grow up to 15cm wide, but others include venomous redbacks and famously hairy, wolf spiders.”

“Spiders are attracted to the warmth of engines and can often be found in the engine bay, door frames or on the underside of the vehicle.”

“They get startled by vibrations when the vehicle gets moving. If this happens at high speed, it can be a dangerous distraction but even at low speed, it’s a lot of people’s worst nightmare.”

If a single arachnoid isn’t enough, spiders also have a habit of nesting in cars and leaving cobwebs around side windows, windshield wiper arms and door handles which can obstruct vision and be difficult to remove.

Meanwhile, anywhere there’s food, there are ants as owners of camper trailers and 4WD know only too well. Ants are difficult to get rid of and can lead to costly repairs if they infest electrical systems.

RoadBlock has been tested and is safe to use on all automotive surfaces. Its 360-degree trigger nozzle with flip-up, straw applicator is designed to get into hard-to-reach places on all types of vehicles including side mirrors, plate frames, wheel arches and door frames.

The commercial-grade formulation protects for up to three months so the 350g can, will treat a SUV for a year or more for only $26.95. The product is also approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority.
