Man tries to kill spider with fire, almost burns down his house in the process.

I was so close to trying this about a week ago. 😛

Big fast wolf spider came running up the wall by the couch around 11pm one night. I calmly handled that situation (my screams didn't wake anyone) and I realized we didn't have any bug spray (just moved and who knows where the stuff is). He was hiding and I couldn't get him with the fly swatter so I tried freezing him with the air duster, but then he let go of the wall. I assume he is still under the couch plotting my demise.

People actually do that fuel + lighter shit... Cool in movies, good way to set yourself on fire.
 
I hate spiders, truly and completely hate every one of the eight-legged jerks. I'd rather have a dozen snakes in the room with me than one spider, because at least you can see the snakes.

That being said, what an idiot. I think I'd use a shoe, newspaper, brick, plastic bag, old shirt, hell even my bare hand, before blow-torching a spider in my home!
 
If faced with a spider with only spray paint and a lighter at my disposal, I would pocket the lighter and just paint the thing. It would probably run away, but after a couple hours it wouldn't be able to move and would die. I don't think that would work for a bird spider, but tipping a washing machine onto it would probably do the trick. Srsly, if I ever see one of those in my yard I'm getting the shotgun.

I keep spiders in my house. We get along fine. They eat the silverfish. I don't care for silverfish.

Article is about bird-eating spiders.

Ends with "In other cases of reptiles in the wild attacking other species, a Queensland couple has told how they found a python devouring their dog, just weeks after other snakes killed their cat and guinea pig."
