I'd rather have TNT in my kitchen. I never thought I'd type out that sentence.

This is a townhouse, which makes the arson solution a little more problematic

Same townhouse?

8/21/14 4:52pm

I wonder how many you ate over that period. Probably countless.

Think of it as revenge.

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

It's bifenthrin, you idiot.

How high is the child/pet danger with a moron like me using that stuff?

purplmonkeydishwashr

8/21/14 4:47pm

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

8/21/14 4:50pm

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

That's from growing up next to a nuclear reactor

Are you sure it was a hobo spider and not a wolf spider?

You could do the bite test..

Anae4Anae

8/21/14 5:04pm

That spider won't be biting anybody ever again.

purplmonkeydishwashr

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

8/21/14 5:28pm

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

Byron McNertney

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

ByuImaginesDragons

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

purplmonkeydishwashr

I wouldn't worry as I said. They aren't that dangerous.
