Think of it as revenge.

True. I probably have built up an immunity to them by now.

If you can read the directions and measure, very low.

You forgot to mention the whole glowing in the dark thing.

That spider won't be biting anybody ever again.

Spraying doesn't work for Hobos because of the way their legs are designed.

ChubbyChaser

8/21/14 5:28pm

It kills their food source so they will voluntarily stay away.

Sure it was a hobo? Spiders are easy to misidentify. And don't worry too much...

Yeah, it's definitely a hobo. A big one too.

Were they proven hobo bites? Brown recluses do that type of damage for sure.
