I like spiders....I don't kill them.....they are helpful little things. I move them to a better spot. Black widows get sqished for safety though.

Try googling and answer and my son spilled a can of soda on my answering machine years ago and someone took the time to fix it dabbing perume or pure alcohol onto in and it was fixed. Just wish I could remember what he used.doh hug
