I love how that adorable little girl scolds her dad I am still laughing "I tolyoo notta play with spyderrs" gees I wonder where that thing wound up?

 

This reminds me of when I use to work for a Pest controll company here in CA. I was spr aying this house and noticed a gigantic black widow underneath one of the roof tiles. The thing was the size of a Jelly jar lid. The abdoman was as big as my thumb.
I sprayed the shit out of the thing and she crawled up inside. Thinking nothing of it I moved on to spray the rest of the house. I made my way back toward that area and ran into a string of web. ( happens all the time) kept moving and about 5 min later I felt something crawling up the back of my head. I instinctly brushed it off and it was the female black widow. Still alive but dying. I quit my job that day! Looking at these pics made my hair stand up....

 

Yotoda is right - brake parts cleaner is a great stand-off way to kill spiders. It doesn't take much before they start going all nervous system fail. I guess they inhale the stuff through the breather holes in their abdomen and they're done.

Pshaw.

I will keep some brake fluid handy although I found I I already had one deterent allready in my back yard. A Eucalyptis tree. I am reading it works great for keeping spiders out. So I spent the morning sweeping the garage and blowing out all the little crevaces with my air compressor. Then I stripped a bunch of Eucalyptis leaves off the tree and mixed a concoction of water and sprayed down all the walls and doused everything!!
But before that I found something that totally will fuck a spider up or anything else for that matter. Interior trim glue. The kind in a spray can that comes out like silly string.
It practically disolves the spider in seconds. I also sprayed around all openings to pipes, gas lines, water lines and whatever else. The shit stays sticky for days.
I got about half the garage done. I started at the water heater and I knew there were gonna be some there. Dead beetle carcasses everywhere!!
Also got a wolf spider but I turned him loose cause I read they will hunt and kill widows. So I got half the garage done today and going to do the other half tommorow. It looks really good and clean on all the brick and cement.
Thats phase 1. Phase 2 will be sat when I nuke the garage with a bug bomb.

I understand we have to coexist with spiders,and for the most part many of them are good to have around.there everywhere but damn dudes coming down the stairs last nite and seeing that dark spot in the corner and then finding out it was a huge ass black widow, it just freaked me out. I think it is the same one when last week I was laying on the couch and I saw a shadow on my lower shirt. It was nite time and I thought it was a shadow from the television. About 20 mins later I happened to look again and it was on the top button of my shirt. I jumped the hell up scared shitless and flung it across the room and never could find it. I am hoping that was the same one and that it was an isolated spider in the house.
Round 2 in the garage tommorow !!!

 

Good god dude. That's like Halloween scary shit. ewwwwwwwww (shudders). But I hate to tell you that widows rarely wander from their webs. It could be the one since you tossed her, but I'd be flipping that furniture for sure.

 

My dad went outside one night (in Cali) to get the trash cans, barefoot of course (or else this story would be pointless, right?) Stepped right on a tarantula. Crunch. Eeewwww.....

I've been known to shoot those little SOB's with my BB gun. No way I was going to use a kleenex to squish them.

 

Didn't even think about that, he is right. You need to tear that shit apart.

 

Check this guy out, found it in the woods while deer hunting last fall. I looked it up, and was called a yellowsilk orb weaver, it's web silk was yellow. Just thought I'd share.

 

we call those writing spiders cause they use the melted bugs to make intricate very pretty designs in the center of their web. they are only spider i actually like. they're very pretty (for a 8 legged freak)

 

We have some common garden spiders that we call writing spiders, they do look similar, but dont have the "hockey goalie mask" on there back and there but is a lot fatter.

 

EWWWWWWW this thread is creeping me out......man I love Canada.......damn things stay away from the cold..... or at least I am hoping they do. Now I know why I saw arachnophobia when I was a kid and now the thought of them creeps me out !!!!!

 

In the end.... It would suck to be a male black widow...... Talk about losing your virginity to the fullest experience.... better make sure you enjoy it....

 

Im already swelling up down there, think i got bit!
