    Yes it will. I seriously have done this before ona different vehicle. You take the little rubber seal off around the trip reset stick. Get some silly puddy and make a gasket around the end of the hose. Then you put it over the little gap turn on high and boom it will suck them out.

    Those are juvenile black widows. When bitten, an adult human will feel nausea and headachy. Within minutes, the body will suffer complete shutdown of all motor coordination. The brain will fight to stay alive before the immune system eventually implodes (crushes) in upon itself. You need to do something about this.

    I pulled a large black widow out of the intake galley on my Tundra last week. Screamed like a 5 year old girl.

    The gauge cluster is pretty easy to get apart, although I have an older Taco with the manual speedo cable so I've been in there half a dozen times...

    Black widow bites are only dangerous to children and the elderly. And that's from an adult spider.

    Most people will have mild flu like symptoms and then be fine.

    I wouldn't necessarily say that "severe pain in abdomen and back, ... hypertension and paralysis of the diaphragm" are mild flu like symptoms.

    It's definitely true that children and elderly or the very ill are most susceptible, and may not survive, but the bites can be quite bad for normal healthy people too.

    That would be my first attempt. The corpse is probably brittle by now and would come out in pieces.

    "In 2013, people reported around 1,866 black widow bites to the American Association of Poison Control Centers. Only 14 of them resulted in severe symptoms, and none were fatal."

    Definately not pleasant but the other poster made it sounds like your organs would liquify and you would shit them out and die.

    Oh yeah, that's why I quoted you both, we're not talking about a brown recluse or something.

    there were probably even more bites that never got reported, too.

    I'm still going to scream like a little girl if I find one unexpectedly. I have, actually, lol. I've found several of them in the frame of my truck if it sits for a while.

    Found one hiding in my front bumper *after* I was man-handling it to take it off.

    Upon looking it seems I have quite a few dead creatures behind the plastic they don`t seem to be blocking anything i need to see they are just fine till I have a real reason to take things apart.

    I love those good winter nights that kill most of those things
