Gassing won't kill the spiders. My father-in-law used to regularly bug-bomb the house, and it just meant that the most hard core of the spiders survived and multiplied. After about 10 years of this (and attrition by cats) they were almost impossible to kill: they were perfectly camouflaged to the part of the house they lived in, they would hold on too tightly to be sucked up by a vacuum, and they were almost impossible to crush. And they were immune to insecticides.

Okay, this is awesome. My comment on Buddhist teachings ended up derailing this thread into the various ways of committing insect holocaust :rofl:

It generally does the trick.
Oh, p'shaw. Australian spiders are cuddly and adorable. If it wasn't for that pesky getting thrown in prison for exporting Australian animals thing, I'd own and be breeding most of the spider species you have there.
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.

Pfft, I'd be happy for you to take all of the funnelwebs that inhabit my backyard.
