I found one (cant remember their name now) who did it but it was either an issue with the $ amount of cash out that I wanted (not even the LTV, just the actual jumbo sized $ I wanted) and/or the term of the loan was incredibly short which would have eliminated all cash flow from the property. 

You don't have to be an insurance or risk management guru to look for potential exposures (property or liability hazards), assess those risks, and make sound decisions about how to address them (eliminate them, fix them, avoid them, pass the exposure to an insurance carrier via a policy, etc.).

Option 2: The Close your Eyes and Wait Act1 - Tell them there's more where they came from, and if they want to eliminate them they should call an exterminator.2 - The cost of the exterminator is not the landlord's responsibility...of course they wouldn't be able to get past the laughing on the other end of their call to the exterminator to worry about any arguments about the cost, and who pays for it.Option 3: The Placebo Act1 - Buy a supply of aspirin (not for you, although you may want to keep some).2 - Put them in a bottle labeled Anti Spider Pills3 - Tell them to save the next spider(s) they kill.4 - Give the bottle to them and tell them to crush the pills. 5 - Mix the crushed pills with the crushed spider and spread them throughout the house.6 - Tell them this works, but only if they do this often since it depends on the quantity of spiders they use...the more the better.This last one should at least keep them busy for a while, and you will have a free "spiders be gone" service.
