I hate snakes!! I once went on an estimate and the homeowner said they just killed a 5 ft water moccasin at their front door before I arrived. She acted like it was no big deal. I shook her hand and said…"I hate snakes. I will not be able to clean your windows."
This was a home where it sloped down toward the river behind it. As the house sloped down, both sides of the house were open so you could see underneath it. There was a small walking path to clean the windows along both sides of the house. In between that path and the house, it was all overgrown. Great hiding spot for snakes! I am sure there were snakes hiding under the house too!
I used to be terrified of spiders, but I’ve kind of gotten so used to them over the years so don’t mind them unless I think one is dropping in my hair or landing on my hand. My employees on the other hand are afraid of even the little spiders, I swear I had to have a meeting one morning after I found out they had skipped windows due to spiders in the corners. I basically told them to man up, and if they couldn’t handle working around them then they shouldn’t have a job working outside. All you have to do is push your squeegee under them until they crawl on and them fling 'em. Its bad luck to kill them.
What creeps me out are jobs with dead birds all over, feel like I’m about to get the plague.
I don’t care for snakes or spiders, but the stupid big spiders give me the creeps. Oh, and I guess I was freaked out one time by small spiders. A buddy of mine was taking off one night and jumped back like a little girl and slammed the door. I went to check it out and there was a large fuzzy spider on the door stoop. What are you a wuss? So I stepped on it and about a million baby spiders came out from under my shoe. Yeah, that was not good times.
Big snakes creep me out, but I don’t cry about it, I just do my own thing:
We have friends doing volunteer work in Costa Rica. These are their house spiders. I’m not sure how they killed them, but they mentioned that they didn’t have a flame thrower.

Please. If you can find a can of hair spray and a lighter you can take care of it. Styrofoam and gasoline if you want to get crazy. Homemade thermite might be overkill but it depends on the size of the beasties.
Oh, and in light of the homemade clocks, you can even use a homemade candle:
I wouldn’t use the N word but that’s basically what it is. There was a cookbook back in the day with a bunch of recipes and I’m sure it’s available online new and improved.
They probably have recipes for homemade clocks too. But I’m pretty sure they don’t have recipes for pop tarts because you can’t screw around with those.
