The damn things are EVERYWHERE !

Killed one INSIDE my truck this morning.
Just killed four in the shop when I went to get a beer.

Anyone else in the South got em?

I am NOT being loud.
I'm being enthusiastic!

I wish you had never told me about those damn things. I find the egg sacks everywhere.

Personally I haven't seen any, but caught a black widow spider in my yard once.

Alex in NOLA (used to post on here as porpoishead) had a bunch of them in his shop one time.

the place he works at now, some shop guys had captured a wasp nest with 3 or 4 wasps on it, and also captured a brown widow, and put them all in a glass and took bets on which was going to win the fight, a-la Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon on the junk boat with the praying mantises...

The brown widow kicked all the wasps' asses.

Why kill them?. I'm sure they clean up a few other pests.

Are you talking about brown recluse spiders? They are the small brown spiders with violin shaped markings on their back.

I had them really bad in my garage but bought a product called "Delta Dust" to get rid of them. It works great. This is about the only thing I have heard of that works. The sticky traps do not work.

It also helps to remove all habitat. They love cardboard, brown paper, and wood. Keep your floor in the garage cleared off. They mostly live on the ground.

Nope. Brown widow spiders. Never heard of em until this morning. Looked 'em up out of curiosity.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

We don't have many of those but we do have Palmetto Bugs, aka roaches. Blech! It doesn't matter how clean your house is, they still find you!

Thanks. I've seen those, too. Always wondered what they were.
