Hedge Of Darkness
The more one reads this sign, the less sense it makes… besides the “spider repellent” part, which is enough for most arachnophobic types (aka most people).

Perhaps they should have dubbed their nefarious plan the “Special Military Operation of Deadly Spiders” and saved some five-eyed face. (image via Anders Sandberg)
