Flaming Spiders

I'm not talking about flamboyantly homosexual arachnids. There has been an invasion of tunnel spiders at my home. There are webs on every window outside, at one point there were at least ten webs around my deck, and one had been so brave to set up in the window above my kitchen sink...on the inside. Normally I am not one for killing bugs (except mosquitoes) but these spiders have gotten out of hand. They are not catching the drunk beetles that fly around the deck at night crashing into my head. They certainly are not doing  anything to lessen the number of mosquitoes draining me of blood. The only thing they are doing is multiplying. My first solution was to knock down webs that I could reach and hope they would move on. That plan failed. Each spider rebuilt a web in the same spot within an hour. Next plan was to spray the webs with water and drown the spiders. That plan failed, webs are impervious to water and the spiders move really fast to get away from the water. Finally while sitting on the deck casually playing with a lighter that we use to start the grill, it occurred to me that spider webs are flammable. (Actually, I am sure I can make anything flammable) This led me to the last and greatest plan, setting the webs on fire and hopefully catching the spider along with it. It has worked brilliantly, except for two spiders. One on the deck and the one in my kitchen. I vow that I WILL be quick enough at some point to torch the one on the deck. I will NOT set the kitchen spider on fire because Thom has asked me very sweetly to not play with fire inside the house unless it is in the fireplace.
