UM-Bot Posted July 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The creative arachnophobe managed to burn his house down while trying to kill a spider with fire. Most of us might try to remove a big spider from the house using a piece of tissue paper or a glass, but one Seattle resident this week attempted something a little more drastic by fashioning a makeshift flamethrower out of a lighter and a can of spray paint.

Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted July 19, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) As for the spider, Moore said: “I’m pretty sure the spider did not survive this fire. The whole wall went.” Is it wrong for me to secretly feel that the end justifies the means?

Wickian Posted July 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2014 If this was a horror movie or a comedy, the spider would be seen escaping from the ashes of the house. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendy Demon Posted July 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Kind of reminds me of this old guy who was trying to eliminate weeds and cobwebs outside his house using a blowtorch and set his attic on fire in the process. Do these people ever think before doing something stupid? I especially liked the last sentence: "It isn't clear whether or not the offending arachnid actually managed to survived the ordeal." Absolutely priceless...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted July 19, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 19, 2014 @Lilly I speak from experience lol, common sense often takes a back seat for some people when faced with a spider. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted July 19, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) But Dot, you don't go and burn your house to the ground 'cause there's a spider in it! Here's what the Fire Chief said: Fire is not the method to use to kill a spider. Wise words there.

Lilly Posted July 19, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Honestly, a baseball bat or one of those Dr Scholl's exercise sandels (with the wooden bottoms) will allow you to crush any arachnid invaders with impunity! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted July 19, 2014 #23 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Leo...do not give Dot any more 'inflammatory' ideas. Now, both of you, sit down, breathe calmly...in through your nose, out through your mouth. Feeling better? Good. Now, repeat after me: "Spiders are my little friends. Spiders eat mosquitos and other pests. Spiders should be trapped in a jar and taken outside. Flamethrowers are not a solution to any spider situations". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
