I'm sure you all remember the exterminator from "Arachnophobia", Delbert McClintock, played by John Goodman. He wasn't the most personable character due to his socially awkward presence, and his extreme seriousness of his profession, which made his role quite funny.... Well, when he was called to take care of the infestation, and blast these arachnids to kingdom come, he wasn't very successful with his environmentally friendly pesticide blend, but a good ol' stomp with his workbook worked just fine on several specimens (a little trivia here: this sound effect was achieved by crunching a bag of potato chips)....
If you haven't seen this scary classic from 1990, maybe its time. The story goes a little like this:
The film's first 15 minutes, is set in the rain forest of Venezuela where a team of scientists are searching for a new species of spiders and other insects. A photographer accompanies them who is soon bitten by a new species of spider and dies within seconds. Mistaking the death for a common illness in the rain-forest, the scientists crate up the body - with the the queen of the new species hiding within and ship it back to the man's hometown in ...........GULP.......The United States. Unfortunately the town is about to be in a HUGE mess with spiders! Eeeek!
John Goodman as Delbert McClintock in Arachnophobia:
The truth is that spiders feed off of other insects, so having a few spiders here and there isn't a huge threat. If you are seeing a lot of spiders however, this means you have a pretty good food source for them in your residence. If this is the case, call Lavender Pest Control to professionally exterminate your home and rid you of your creepy crawlies. We would love to have you as a customer and are more willing to explain our methods than Delbert McClintock of "Bugs-B-Gone" ;)
