Updated DEFCON Alerts
5 — No spider presence detected. Remain vigilant, citizen.
4 — Minor arachnid incursion in zone: bathroom or zone: bedroom. Deploy heavy Raid Spray artillery to create firezone. Assign full military Hoover division to pacify remains. Check nearby webs for messages; if found, do not eat the pig as penance for murdering Charlotte and leaving her poor babies without a mother. Then kill all the babies. It’s not like they’ll grow up to be anything but more bloody spiders anyway.
3 — Spider not confirmed dead, or reinforcements detected. Contact intelligence services to confirm status as mere terrible house spider, not tarantula, black widow, or alien symbiote bent on intergalactic domination and/or brain drinking.
2 — Aaaie! Spider blocking route to Wikipedia/reference books.
1 — Sell house. Move. Just in case.
