Bug Vacuum
I gotta get me a bug vacuum - or a spider vacuum, if I have to get something pest-specific. It’s spider season here in Seattle, and Ponzi and I are crawling out of our respective skins. She’s already gone through 14 magazines today (with the victims getting anything but more literate). If there’s a can within reach, our uninvited pest guests are treated to a complementary insecticide bath. We used to deploy the handheld vacuum to suck up spiders, but nobody ever wanted to clean the trap afterwards. A bug vacuum may be the only way to go… zip zap!

One word: Dyson. Nothing recognizable is left.

I feel your pain, Chris. Those big, aggressive house spiders are out over here on Bainbridge, too. And being the Dad, I’m the designated hitter,

Try this. Don’t know if they’re available where you are, but I expect you could sort something out. (And if you don’t think it looks impressive, watch the movie on the site. My wife and her mother — both of whom are arachnophobes — think this is the best gadget ever.)

Find a cat like one I had, Annie would kill spiders on sight, then eat them.

Do not buy any of the so called bug vacuums that are on the market, they are a waste of money, because they have very little suction. I have found the best solution is the Dirt Devil Dust Buster. It has much more suction and has an integral crevice tool which is ideal for bugs. It’s cordless. I bought one at WalMart for 15 bucks.
