Spiders
A method for keeping spiders out of your bath | |
You can always tell when the weather's going to be damp... Yup, you guessed it: Spiders in the bath.
Why, those little critter's, why they come in through the bath-overflow looking for somewhere to keep their cranky ol' exoskeletons dry - They suffer from rheumatism just like you and I! -
So
why not keep a small reservoir of water (just a capful) in the overflow pipe - it'll act as a micro-moat?
{If you like having spiders in your bath, simply exchange the water for silica gel, that'll keep 'em nice and dry and comfortable. Why not spinkle in some dead flys, too for a hearty feast for 'em?}

they come in through the window and leave unceremoniously by the window. sometimes flat, sometimes not, depends on the size... |
|

... Of the shoe I hit 'em with. We have most of the world's nastiest arachnids. I hate the damned things. |

[UnaBubba ] Then you'd want the micro-moat option. |

Well, I like this idea. But who'd have thought not voting could be such fun? |
|
| |
why not just pick them up with a piece of newspaper and take them to the garden? Killing spiders is mean, shall i vote against or leave it? |

I've never heard of spiders coming in through the overflow. Since the overflow connects to the drainpipe before it gets to the trap, the spider would have to get through the trap to get to the overflow. |

I've always thought that they came in through the window, and were trapped when they couldn't climb out of the porcelain coated tub. |
