Big Black Gutter Spider?

I hear if you don't want to spary poison on the little suckers there is a non toxic remedy.....NAPALM!!!

How about one of those fire blowing guns? That would get them all for sure!!

(actually reminds me of my grandfather's attempt to get rid of a wasp nest in the barn--he used a large burning torch. yeah, it wasn't the best plan. yeah, the barn suffered some smoke and fire damage. But he got those wasps--and didn't use any chemicals in the process)

Spiders curl up into a ball to make an air pocket when they hit water, so even if you think you've flushed them chances are good that they'll crawl back up out of the drain!
Just think of all the great karma when you help them out of the house in a nice big glass.
btw that spider is totally freaky! )
