Lastchance 0 #1 November 2, 2007 So here I sit at my computer at work minding my own buisness reading DZ.com when a Black Widow with a legspan of almost 2" crawls across the keyboard. I thought halloween was over. Anyway I've I've got the big sumbitch in a jar now and she is quite pissed. I"ll take her home and show my wife and then dispose of her. I've seen hobo, boxer and brown recluse here in my store but this is the first widow. It's getting colder and they're coming inside. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

Lastchance 0 #10 November 2, 2007 I had a change of heart. But only because you said please. She is now back outside getting cold again. Normally I let spiders live but not widows or any other poisonous ones.Have had friends bit by widows and its not that bad. But the recluse, hobos and boxers bites start deteriorating the skin and muscle around the bite and it's absolutley horrible and painful. This Black Widow owes you one big time.

Hell, take the spider to the cubicle or office of the co-worker or boss you dislike the most and let it out on the chair back or desk...

squirrel 0 #20 November 3, 2007 i hate to reveal myself as a mass killer of spiders....but here in the desert if you dont do something called "spider patrol" which involves a flashlight, lighter and a can of WD40....you will be over run by black widows....i get about ten females a month around the house. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

DFWAJG 4 #21 November 3, 2007 What do I do about Wolf spider?. I've been over run with them in my cabin in NY. Now I'm seeing them here in California. I don't mind a spider or two, but it can really get ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zing 2 #22 November 3, 2007 Wolf spiders are big and scary looking, but they are harmless to humans and they eat lots of other pest bugs. I usually catch them in a cup and put them back outside. Its getting colder at night now and they start looking for warm places to over-winter. Also, its their breeding season right now and a lot of them you see are males on a mission ... they've only got one thing on their minds, and biting you ain't it.Zing Lurks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
