Duct tape FTW.

Think we have a rule somewhere about max image size.

Did you really catch it with duct tape?

Yep. I've been looking at ways to get rid of the spiders I have and then I had the idea of using glue traps, but then I'd have to buy those and I'm very short on cash, and they are less versatile as once they get too full I'd have to throw them out and buy some more.

Then I realized, duct tape may work, and it sure does.

Catching lot of these too.

Actually that 2nd pic actually looks like it would be good to eat. Only if it was as big as it looks in that pic, then a knife and fork and add seasoning salt... Mmmmmm.

Oh and that spider is STILL alive. I touched it and it started to move it's legs. I almost feel evil for what I'm doing.

I also caught an earwig but I can't remember what trap I saw it in and can't find it anywhere. A spider might of caught it mission impossible style or something.

It's actually fun to go down and check the traps to see what I find. Nothing new so far though. Think I need to get a long stick to break the new webs in that small crawlspace so I can venture in there again and put tons of tape.

I cleaned it all out a while back. It actually looked like this before.

That's about the only horrifying scene that tops this:

My shop vac actually had a bit of trouble with that one.

I think I am seriously going to puke, red. That is horrifying...

I'm not going to be able to sleep for weeks.

LOL. Yeah it is quite nasty though. I have a phobia of spider webs, I don't mind seeing pictures of them just don't ask me to get any less then a couple feet away with a long stick.
