I recently had 3 giant man-eating spiders with webs from my window boxes to my window.
I asked Catface to smash them to bits with a large piece of timber. "That might break the window!" he replied. And I nodded in agreement.

Flamethrowers. That's the answer.

I would certainly be happy to study the viability of burning spiders to death.
My fear is that the web would go first, dropping them out of the line of fire to safety.

I may have thought about this too much.

I have one of those super dooper spider catcher plastic thingamajiggies.
Most of the time I accidently squash them with it when trying to get them inside.

Try murdering them on purpose.
It's the safest way.
