BillyVance 34 #3 August 1, 2012 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.

obelixtim 100 #4 August 1, 2012 Killed one INSIDE my truck this morning. Just killed four in the shop when I went to get a beer. *** Why kill them?. I'm sure they clean up a few other pests.My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewGuy2005 51 #5 August 1, 2012 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.

gonzalesna 0 #6 August 1, 2012 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
