or daddy-long-legs.

AWFUL, hideous creatures. the word hideous was invented for them. they're worse than spiders, right? cos they're like large spindly spiders that fly and hover.

tonight i was stalked by them. the first refused to die... i slayed it with hairspray, and an hour later it rose up [literally] from the dead like some hellish phoenix. when it was finally ejected out of the window, another one got in. and an hour later, just as my nerves had settled back into place, a huge one loomed over my head like that scene from north-by-northwest. naturally i fled, and am now in hiding.

how does one kill these things?!? HELP. [without touching them, like]
