Useful information!

(Not many people realize that you can kill spiders with a blowtorch!)  :-)

Of course you can kill them. Nothing is immune to fire, but especially house trailers

I know I shouldn't laugh...but I can't help myself

Those must have been some bad ass spiders!

As someone who runs from spiders screaming like a little girl, I cannot judge this man negatively. There but for the grace of God go I.

I found a tiny one in my bed several years ago.  I moved to another bedroom and phoned my son to come over and 'get it' but he couldn't find anything after searching for an hour.  

I still have nightmares.  

And my son still looks at me oddly.

I'm waiting for news about his lawsuit against the manufacturer of the propane torch for inadequate warning labels.

Hummmm - what kind of a label would it take?
