The spider that comes with it has a horrible stench. Left soaking in multiple cleaning solutions and baking soda, and was barely tolerable after that. The web got some of the stink off the spider and is a nice enough web to hang in the right spot. But I wouldn’t plan to have the spider indoors; that outside to scare vampires, ghouls and whatever else away. Normal people won’t smell it outside but it emits a gas that stenches up a room.
