We're all afraid of something. This man has some serious arachnophobia, and that would explain why used a giant device to try and catch this spider in his house.

Where do you get something long enough to reach the ceiling and also allow you to be more than 20 feet away from the spider's corner hiding behind a couch? You go out to the pool and grab the skimmer and stretch it out as far as possible.

Watch the grueling task of capturing this house spider in the expletive and laughter-filled video below. [NSFW]

* The wife's laughter is my favorite part

I guess it should be noted that they didn't kill the spider. There's always that one person that gets mad when you kill a spider. They tell you that the spider didn't do anything to you and that they kill other bugs. I'm not that person.
