It happened again

According to the BBC, a woman in Bridgend, Wales noticed a spider on a window sill in her home recently. After contacting a relative for assistance, they haphazardly surmised that coating the intimidating arachnid in aerosol and setting it ablaze would remedy the problem. 

While it did, it also set the home on fire in the process. The South Wales Fire Service was able to extinguish the fire, and there were no injuries, though the unaccounted for spider probably perished.

Here's a message from the South Wales Fire Service: don't do this. Ever
