I have been bitten by both black and brown widow. Brown widow was def worse. Still have a scar from that one. And brown widows reproduce like crazy

Of all the thread-jacked threads, this is the one you decide to get back on track?!
Did some long overdo wedding today, seen at least 30 black widows. I think its time to hire a pro lol.
Disappointed after two pages and you haven't done a follow up report on how the wedding with 30 black widows and possibly a hired pro went ?
I've heard with emotions maxed out, weddings can be a great hook up.
We used have thousands of black widows & spraying poison didn't do the trick so I started going spidering at night (yes, I made that word up). Since they only come out at night, I torch them & their webs around certain areas & use my Bug-A-Salt gun for others.
As long as I do this a couple times a week, especially now that it's getting warm & they're getting active, we're in the most spider free property in the state.
TIPS: A buddy of mine who owns a pest control company says black widows are opportunists and will occupy old webs from other spiders so it's important to deweb once you've killed them.
Also, when spraying & they're not out, doesn't kill them well. The poison needs to come in contact with them.
I don't like the cancer causing chemicals in poisons so I prefer "mano a mano" approach. It works great & I kind of enjoy teh hunt.
We had the same thing with aggressive bees & turns out we had a hive nearby that a beekeeper came & removed. They are very protective of the hives and not so much when just out gathering.Yes, spiders do suck, but I'll take a few spiders crawling around to a few THOUSAND KILLER BEES... I've never had a spider chase me, but those fricken Bees, wow.... The bees even waited for me to come back out of the house!!!!! I had a bee keeper come over to get the queen from a hive and even HE ran away into his van once he realized the bees were of the killer variety... Poison pads from ACE were needed to kill the bees and it took most of the afternoon...Now back to your regularly scheduled spider thread....Oh, spiders like to hide in boats that were parked for the winter and then show themselves at the worst of times....

Ummmm......hey..... DON'T MOVE! You have a really big spider on your leg. I'll get my bug-a-saltThis is my buddy Special. He's a Rose Hair. Hanging out watching TV with me. Gets along with the dog, can be a little temperamental sometimes but usually pretty tame. Don't EVER let tarantulas crawl on your face or anywhere you don't want itching. Their hairs are irritating meaning they are used for defense, are barbed like a fish hook and make you itch. Tarantulas can be great pets.....but as said before vermin spiders like wolf spiders and black widows are pests. Like another poster said before, I usually let them go when out away from home but they are disposed of in the garage and house. View attachment 871009

Try a Bug-A-Salt gun. We have horse property & bought it for the flys (it's hard to find a fly around our house now) & it kills spiders even better. It just shoots a small amount of salt so it's not messy. I love those guns.I go spidering at night too. The little bastard brown widows are all over the place especially the cast iron patio furniture frames.
Spray them directly. Or if I'm feeling pissed off, torch them.
For extra fun, electrocute them. This is the best for flys and mosquitos. Killed a few wasps with them too. Any electricians here wanna see if they can convert it to use a 9v battery? Make the little fucks smoke!

Is he ready to molt? Back looks a little rubbed.
I had a red hair that shed a few times. Freaked me out the first time I looked in and saw 2 identical spiders. He had a broken leg once and after molting it was fixed.
That was a trip.
Yea that was spooky, really made me look at options IF a snake bite were to happen way down the lake. Not many options, especially at night.One of my biggest fears is being on Powell way down the lake and having one of my kids bit by a rattlesnake. My buddy @mswasey killed one under his sons cot last year in the camp.
Fast forward to .35 in this video!Fk spiders , was living near Perth in Australia. Was cooking on the grill on the back patio and happens to look over and there was a fkn scary looking spider , was turning this way an the other way then fk ran at me , I screamed like a girl and ran away , my buddy ran out and smacked it with a broom and just pissed it off . We both ran into the house and shut the door . Lil bugger scurried off after about an hr . My buddy called in the exterminator. Found out it was a fkn funnel web spider . Google it . Ppl killer . Yeh fk spiders lol
Right? I feel all itchy now.I don't know why I keep clicking on this dam thread. Everytime I open it it's a new dam nightmare
I was just going to say the same thing. I feel spiders all over me! Yukkkkk!Right? I feel all itchy now.
What kind ?Here you go.
I was told a garden spider but I'm not real sure maybe one of the experts will know.What kind ?
They make those in D cell, you can hold a tarantula hawk down with them, they'll spark and smoke then fly away when you release the trigger.I go spidering at night too. The little bastard brown widows are all over the place especially the cast iron patio furniture frames.
