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.Calibron wrote:I changed my "live and let live" policy with spiders after I found one hanging out in my bangs. Besides, their are so many spiders in this town that there's no way we could possibly get rid of them without a gassing the whole town via airstrike, not even joking.

The law in its majestic equality forbids the rich as well as the poor from stealing bread, begging and sleeping under bridges.

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.Koumei wrote:The spiders here have knee-mounted machineguns (that's eight each!) and breath weapons. So we tend to provide incentives to not enter the house. By which I mean swift execution.
It generally does the trick.
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.Count Arioch the 28th wrote:Oh, p'shaw. Australian spiders are cuddly and adorable.
