Take the New York Times editorial section off the bottom of your canary's cage, roll it up, swat the spiders. Then use the blow torch to clean up. That's how it's done.

Is it my imagination or is this story becoming an annual rite of summer for the blog. Maybe it's the same guy over and over and over again.

We are talking SPIDERS here.
Drastic measures are necessary.

During the winter of 2009/2010, better known in these parts as Snowmageddon, less than a mile away from here, a homeowner paid an unlicensed, uninsured contractor to use a propane torch designed for sealing flat roofing material to melt snow that was several feet deep on the roof of what was, until that fateful decision, his multimillion dollar home complete with art collection and vintage sports car filled garage.

Yesterday, I removed about 50 spiders from our Florida home by the simple act of picking up Mama wolf spider and all the little babies holding onto her back. I recommend it. No flames or anything.
(And no bites, either.)
