Hello, my name is Greg and I don't like
spiders in my house! I've heard that the planet earth would be uninhabitable
without spiders so I want spiders in the world, just not in my house! I always
used the toilet brush to kill spiders with varying results. Last spring, the
very first spider showed up on the ceiling corner of my shower and I grabbed the
usual toilet brush and pushed it into the corner and then pulled it back to see
the dead spider, except it wasn't there! All of a sudden, here comes the spider
crawling toward me on the handle and I dropped the brush into the bathtub and
the spider went crawling really fast to get away so I picked up the brush and
got him. It almost got away. The next day, the exact same thing happened, I
couldn't believe it, it was like Groundhog Day. I was really frustrated! All of
a sudden, it came to me what would work a lot better. Something with a flat
surface to squish the spider, with a nice length handle that would allow me and
my hand to not be directly under the spider for a spider that's on the ceiling,
and also fit flush into a ceiling corner. I then started making drawings of my
idea and thought, "This looks kind of like a spatula, except I've never seen a
spatula with an angle like this and I wouldn't want to flip hamburgers with my
spatula if I kill spiders with it. I realized that I could designate a spatula
for the task of killing spiders, except I liked my design better with a perfect
angle and long handle to easily stand at a comfortable distance from the spider
and not under it. Also, if it's a frisky spider and it jumps down before I
squish it, it won't land on me or the handle. I also decided to make the
squishing flat part transparent to see the spider through it, as to be able to
position the squishing part more accurately onto the spider and see that the
spider is indeed dead before removing it. I decided on the name of this new
implement, handheld tool for killing spiders, the very first day I conceived it.
It was to be called the "Spider Fighter" and it makes me feel very comfortable
and happy that I own one. Get that spider the first time you see it, because the
only thing worse than finding a spider in your bedroom, is losing a spider in
your bedroom! Never fear, the "Spider Fighter" is here! I hope you, your family
and friends, will enjoy the "Spider Fighter" as much as my family and friends
do! By the way, the "Spider Fighter" makes a great gift! It will eventually be
as common as the fly swatter, but for now it's quite a novelty! Hang it next to
your flyswatter.
