Joro Spiders and Subarus

My neighborhood has at least two infestations: Joro spiders and Subarus. The Joro spider infestation is far more tolerable than the Subaru car infestation because I can spray for spiders. As far as I can tell, there is no (Geneva convention compatible) solution for the Subaru infestation.

Joro spiders and Subarus: the two infestations in my neighborhood.

My neighborhood has at least two infestations: Joro spiders and Subarus. The Joro spider infestation is made far more tolerable than the Subaru car infestation by the fact that I can spray for spiders. As far as I can tell, there is no (Geneva convention compatible) solution for the Subaru infestation other than leaving home with a mindset of patience for the inevitable drive behind a seemingly endless train of excruciatingly slow Subaru drivers.

Someone made a fortune selling these Subarus to the old people in this neighborhood.

If this was California, they’d adopt the Joro as the state spider, make it illegal to kill, and require all residents to accommodate a minimum number of them. What sane person does not long to live in New Hampshire?
