Spider Ladder

 Spiders won't get trapped in sink.

Every few mornings I find a spider trapped in my kitchen sink. The spiders can't climb up the slick walls, maybe it's just this variety of spider that has this problem, I'm not sure. I usually help them out and they go about thier business. Today I blasted one with some water by accident and mangled him.

The spider ladder would be like a miniature version of a swimming pool ladder that would hang off the edge of the sink and extend all the way down to the bottom. The spiders could come and go as they please.

       Another option is to leave a large heap of dirty dishes in your sink. They will serve as a ladder also. Or as a hiding place - yiii!

       [MrColcannon], you are very nice to spiders.   

       And your idea is F'ing baked. You are, officially, not alone.

       I put duct tape on the side of the tub n sink to rescue bugs fabric tape is a better way though.

       it's funny to see that this is baked. good idea with the duct/cloth tape. i also realized that rungs aren't necessary. recently i've just been leaning a potholder up against the side of the sink.   

       i think the spider ladder needs to be height-adjustable, removable, mold resistant, easy to clean, and aesthetically attractive. i'd also like it to be made out of sustainable materials. will give it some thought.   

       also, seems like some others like the idea of bringing megafauna to the U.S. [link] ala the american rhino.

       yay, lets save the innocent bugs of the world. MrCalcannon you have my vote

       Baked, if i must say. You can (and always have been able to) buy spider ladders for your bath.   

       Good idea though ...
