Because you found one spider?

Yes.

purplmonkeydishwashr

There's no such thing as one spider.

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?

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.

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

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

IGlowInTheDark

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

That spider won't be biting anybody ever again.

I've examined the corpse now, it's definitely a hobo.

Thats a hobo. It has the smaller butt and the boxing gloves.

It's hard to tell if there are differentiating colors on the legs but if there

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.

Byron McNertney

I saw a tv episode on that. They sprayed and all other spiders died, and soon

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.

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