I guess you could stick a reed across the pipework for some kind of musical contraption... 
My problem with this is simple; if you hate spiders enough to build something like this then you'll have real issues unscrewing the trap and letting the critters go... ---- ()_() (O.o) (")(") |

Spiders are awesome by the way. Cheers Dennis ---- Back from the dead - Sorry if I didn't answer your mails/PM/whatever during the last few months. I hope everything will be back to normal soon. Life can take some shitty turns sometimes. |

Not that powerful I would have thought, only a can of compressed air after all. ---- ()_() (O.o) (")(") |

What is it with people and spiders?
I can understand it say in Australia, where they have ones with a bite that can give you a really bad time, but in the UK, where we only have wussy spiders? |

I've seriously thought about this issue a lot; I'm fine with most spiders to a point (even quite large garden spiders that spin webs between your roses) but once we get into chunky house spider territory I lose all rational perspective. Why? I'm fine with beetles, bees, wasps, even rats. Must go beyond any kind of logic, some deep psychological trauma as a kid. Or learnt behaviour... ---- ()_() (O.o) (")(") |

I've wondered too. My phobia is apparently worse than yours... I'm not ok with any spiders, though at least if they're outside I can run away. Thing is, I also find them fascinating, so it's not like some kind of spider racism. I also know that most of the ones I see are completely harmless to me, but knowing doesn't help. Yeah, I'm fine with pretty much all the other creepy-crawlies too. Snakes, lizards, bugs, whatever.
There's one type of spider in particular that seems to be everywhere up here - in fact, I had one on my coffee cup this morning. I've looked it up, and I know it's completely harmless, and the biggest one I've seen was probably not even dime-sized, but man do they freak me out. Like you say, complete loss of rational perspective. Just talking about 'em makes my guts clench up.  |
