Sometimes parents can be overly "picky" about how their children kill household pests, in the homes the parents bought and paid for..

Not having a cat, my Mom would object to my shooting mice in the house. and using an air horn to kill flies.

.... and the way I used to get rid of spiders is to over-feed moths with wool socks (that had holes in them, of course ...) until they looked like little tiny watermelons with wings, and put them in the spider's web. The spider would run out of silk, trying to wrap it up, and fall to its death.

In the middle of the night you could hear them scream in their little tiny spider voices as they fell.

YOUHOO HOO OOOOOO OOOO oooo .............. EEEK!
