Should one LASER spiders?

[IanMc]

So... I have this LASER engraver, its only small but has a 3000mw LASER diode (Why don't they just say 3 Watt?)
I stuck a handle on the top of it and as soon as you plug in the power supply it turns on and I can pop balloons with it (apart from black ones).
I accidentally cut some lines in my table top while using it!
Best, perhaps not to look into it while its on then?
There's a little spider crawling around my ceiling.
Should I laser it?

Try using a bazooka.

Who ARE you?

No, that's cruel.

Also, make sure you are wearing protective glasses whenever this thing is on because if that beam happens to hit a reflective surface that is angled back at you, your eye will only survive for a few milliseconds before you are permanently blind.

So many cool answers!
I got a pole, coaxed the spider onto it then shook it out the window.
Did not revert to lasers.
Don't want to kill creatures.
Must say though this spider was luminous green!
but only tiny.

 

[IanMc]

didn't go willingly, the little devil had a good tensile strength line on the pole, had to shake it vigorously and it kept climbing back up to the pole.
A few more shakes and eventually 'fred' yes I named him Fred, let go and I could close the window.
He's probably still out there, lurking.

 

[Sandman]

He's probably still out there, lurking.

And plotting. I wouldn't sleep with an open window this summer.

Not too keen on your picture but have you heard of the new series called 'Sandman' ?

 

[IanMc]

What is going on with your haircut there? from 1956?

Really, so no laser marks on your ceiling then lol
