oh, poor yeti !! i'm so sorry. i hope he feels better soon. i've got a friend who has it too right now, it always seems so much more unfair to get sick in summertime than winter. it's good you are there to make him plenty of hot liquids. i recommend adding copious amounts of garlic and ginger and honey and lemon (feel free to combine these ingredients however you see fit

).

We have a small vacuum that's designed to suck up spiders and insects so they can be safely taken outside, but the tube is rather short. It does have an extension tube, but the suction isn't so good when it's on. And I suspect it does stress them a bit, too. We don't have one of those dusters - very eco-unfriendlyly we use disposable ones, mostly because getting delrin swarf off a normal duster seems to be near impossible.

delrin swarf ??? what is that ??
as for these bug-getting-rid-of schemes and accessories... hm, that vacuum is sounding kind of interesting. i'm old school with my glass-and-postcard method. i do have a feather duster for dusting but i wouldn't want any spiders in that, what if i couldn't get them out again !!

i'd be afraid to ever touch the thing again !!! and let's face it, i don't need any more excuses to avoid dusting...
