Theres a spider in my keyboard

[Yello to Mello]

What do I do?

I was browing the WWW forums and I lifted up one of those cardboard coasters and playing with it and I flung the spider (without noticing it there) and seen it crawling on the keyboard so I tried to kill it with the edge of the coaster and run it over. I think I got him but I dont see the body....kind of sunk in between the H and the J. He might be under there hiding in the dark...just like he was hiding underneath that coaster. It was one of those white spiders.

So far I only tried shaking it to see any signs of the body. He might jump out anytime.

The proper way to kill a spider in your keyboard is like this:

To bring it into the realms of the forum you can of course give it a sweeter passing by pouring some CS betweeen UHJN (it will likely kill the bugger kybrd also)

I said vacuum.

Occasionally I suffer from a proliferation of fluff and crumbs in my keyboard so I tend to fold a piece of kitchen paper and run it between the keys. This tends to get most out.


Edit: I just had a thought about your spider as it could bring a whole new meaning to "The Web"!

Tron Spidey? EOL

Poor spider - what harm has it done you?

[Willie JJ]

If you feed it, it will quickly become too fat to get back out of the keyboard. Then you can keep it as a pet.

[TheTross]

Personally I'd send in a search party for it. Get a hungry bird to fly in your room and point it towards the keyboard.

Trouble is though that you'd then need to get a cat to catch the bird, and then a dog to catch the cat etc... is your room big enough for a horse?

[Nick Brown]

Do horses catch dogs?

[TheTross]

Probably not, but I didn't want to have to type the whole cast list of animals out.

Any update with the spider yet?

[woodhill]

I've seen mention on another thread that it is dead!

I think, unless you give the dog a really big head start, they probably do.

I know one guy that did something like that. Had a basement apartment and he could catch the flies with his hands and would throw it into a spider web in the corner of the room. After a while he noticed the spider getting bigger and he would clean away the empty fly shells.

I decided to pry off the spacebar to find any sign of it and shake it down with the keyboard vertical...no sign but it was starting to get dirty underneath so I did a quick vacuum. Spidey is MIA.

That's what I like - a rebel.

Of course.
