Ok we have a situation.

A short while ago, a rather large 8 legged "Beast" decided to crawl into one of my speakers, and I'm now left a little unsure as to what to do?

If I leave it, will it eat me in my sleep?

As I live in the Philippines if it can kill me, so should I send in one of the lizards running around after it?

What if the "Beast" takes out the lizard and leaves a corpse to rot inside, not only that, the "Beast" would be well fed, and could then plot its revenge for X amount of time?!

As the speaker box the "Beast" has taken residence in has a 12" sub as one of the speakers, should I try and blast it out with some kind of bass test track, gradually increasing the volume until it has gone deaf/stunned and limps out?

But with all of these ideas there leaves me one BIG question, if I don't see it come out a) in the lizards mouth or b) deaf/stunned, how will I know it's really dead?

I really hate spiders and have a feeling the "Beast" is sitting inside, biding its time, watching me.

What would you guys/girls do?

The "Beast" crawled into the furthest right hand port.



For reference it looks like this




This is the kind of lizard I'm talking about, but think it could be punching above its weight here




Oh and one more thing, what if the fecker decides to lay eggs in there?

you're scared of a disabled spider? MTFU.

Spiders dont hear, as I recall, but they do feel vibrations through the very fine hairs on their legs/body. So alot of base may scare it. Or play the Beach Boys- Good vibrations. He'll love it.

coat the speaker in a sugar/petrol mix and set fire to it, step away from the house and watch it burn down to the ground, clear the site then coat in a layer of diesel and burn again(that gets rid of any james bond super spy type of spiders) build your new house.
not only does this get rid of the beast,it also lets you redesign your property in a nice spider free way.

Yes i realise the pic has a leg missing, but I am just trying to hope that the one in my speaker is somewhat disabled in the same way.

I don't want to really set fire to anything, but can they be smoked out?

As of 4.54pm, it is still inside mocking me even after running this through it

Also to add that the "Beast" is about 8inches across.

What if I plugged up all the ports, would the "Beast" suffocate?

hahahahaha

Ok, so a semi- serious suggestion. can you get a piece of flex in there to "push it out"- maybe with the aid of a hoover?
