I, personally, need to see physical evidence that the spider won't be crawling ANYWHERE, ever again. Smooshed bug innards, if you will. The invention I need includes immediate response by a man with size 15 shoes -- very pointy ones that can reach into any crevice -- and Gumby-like legs that can reach into the ceiling corners. The man will have to be able to see the spider under any conditions (x-ray vision would help) and kill it, show me the evidence of its messy death (from at least a six foot distance), and dispose of the evidence at least 5 miles away from me.
