The guy chases the spider all over the house and risks igniting the
carpet on the stairs... and the spider is still going strong...:crackup::crackup::crackup:

I think it would have been more efficient (albeit less impressive) to just take the butt of the laser and squash the poor critter. Aah, the art of complicating things!

Plus I would not waste precious laser diode life on trying to fry a bug... I'd pop balloons or light-up matches... eer, no... wait... ;)

Perhaps against the spider was more effective the WL Spider J/K :crackup:

hehehehe silly bugger - I bet he didnt have laser goggles on. I whacked a spider with the 1 watt module earlier this evening and was able to keep a stead track on him as he scooted up the wall until he fell off.

why?

coz the dot wasnt blinding like in the film. To the camera that ~400 milliwatt beam almost wiped out the whole show. I had my specs on, and followed little mr huntsman up the wall quite easily.

Stupid? probably. Cruel? no, not really, baygon takes ages to kill a spider. 3 seconds with 1 watt of laser light and the arachnid is history.

Cheers
Ben

LOL, is cause the most part of the spiders are not sensitive, or very few, to the usual insecticides substances.

You can use them for keep the pests away from some zones, cause some species have "sensors" on the tips of the legs, and they got fastidious the contact with the sprayed substances, but is very hard to kill them with insecticide.

You need to use specific ones.

Or (btw, this gave an idea about how much healthy are some old contact cleaners sprays), old philips contact cleaner, the one that was lefting light pink tracks (if is still in commerce, i don't know) ..... once, i found a big spider in a radio that i was cleaning, and for reaction, i sprayed it with the contact cleaner for push it away ..... it shaked for a second, then fall dead :p

I'd say that 1W of 808 would do better than any hulk.. Bigger burning spot. Not that 808 is any more humane than using the hulk. I prefer to grab a tissue and use the standard swoop, grasp and squish technique. It's fast and easy. Besides, who wants the smell of burned spider streaming throught their nostrils?

Meh, I have fried a couple yellow sac spiders with a PHR :D takes forever. Now that I have some more powerful BR to play with, I will certainly find out how fast a GGW can kill one. There is just something.... satisfying about killing a spider with a laser.

makes me almost wish that there were any spiders around this time of year in utah to fry. Almost......

Well, i pesonally, don't kill spiders, if i can ..... but is for an egoistic reason .....

Spiders catch and kill mosquitos ..... i got bited from a spider only once, where instead, all the summers, mosquitos still try to use me as a national food reserve :p, so, you can understand my choice :eg: :crackup:

I prefer the trusted axe spray+lighter method. Oh and I've also used a little taser on them. Works surprisingly well :D Probably the best thing I ever did was put a spider in a metal bowl, hook one lead of a 34,000 volt 20ish mA transformer to the bowl and then poke at the spider with the other lead. In less than a second the spider was burned beyond recognition.

Spiders that I find in the house typically live a short life. I HATE spiders.

I can live with the spiders (because they eat insects that like to torment me, like mosquitos and gnats) but I really wish I had a laser that would take care of the centipedes. 400mw or so (even a watt of green) wouldn't be enough because their bodies are light tan and they are seriously fast, more so than most spiders. I tried nailing one (a centipede) with my 120mw green pointer, but all it did was jump off the wall and hide somewhere in my room where I couldn't get to it!

But if you are into "smoking" spiders you would really need some wattage if you had one of these in your house:

I'd have to whip out my CO2 laser to do one of these monster wolf spiders in! But then I'd have to get it to wander thru the beam path...between the laser and beam stop.
