I found this little beauty doing a little yard clean up. They are amazingly fast. I would pick her up with a stick at about 5 feet high and she'd lower herself tothe ground by web in about a second.
If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

I've done the same with them before when trying to kill them, they are fast as hell. That's a pretty good size one there. I'd burn that whole area!

The only thing that would happen amazingly fast is me stepping on him over and over.

I can handle snakes, no problem, even the poisonous ones, as some of you have probably seen. Spiders however, are a different ball game. I hate them with a passion any spider for that matter deadly or not. I hope that you disposed of that one properly. A size 12 would be my recommended prescription!!!

I couldn't agree more. Some people can't stand snakes, they don't bother me at all. Spiders, on the other hand, I hate with a passion and kill at every available opportunity.

| Until this year, I'd never found one. This year, I've found almost a dozen. Had the garage sprayed and I'm still finding them? Short of burning down the garage, anyone have any home remedies for getting rid of them.

| I don't like em either. I got bit by a brown recluse about a year and a half ago. Thank God I figured it out early. It still took months to heal and I still have pain there sometimes. They aren't good for anything as far as I'm concerned. Nasty little creatures. I kill em all.

Until this year, I'd never found one. This year, I've found almost a dozen. Had the garage sprayed and I'm still finding them? Short of burning down the garage, anyone have any home remedies for getting rid of them.I found that with recluses, the bug bombs work pretty well. I'm pretty sure they would kill black widows but I know they work on recluses. Put two or three in your garage and close all the doors til the next day. The problem with the sprays is you almost have to hit them directly with it to kill them. With the bombs, the fumes seek them out where ever they're hiding. When I plan on cleaning my garage, I do this a few days before and you'd be surprised how many dead ones I find. They're relatively cheap so it's worth a try.

They're relatively cheap so it's worth a try. Beware of pilot lights before setting off insect bombs in inclosed areas or you may get more of a bomb than you bargend for. Spiders not like insects do not groom themselves. There fore it is harder for them to ingest a lethal dose of pesticide. This is why you almost have to spray insecticide directly on them to have any effect. Good house keeping is a good method to deture spiders from taking up residence in your house. Aslo there is a good product made called Cob Web Elimanator. It is not a pestcide but when applied to surfaces such as garage walls it keeps spider webs from adhering to the walls thus making it impossible to construct a web. Black widows do not build a traditional looking web. Theres has a funnel apperance and is constructed usually inside a cavity of some sort. During the day the female spider is at rest in the back of the nest but at night moves to the entrance. Usually there nest are easy to spot due to trash and debre that cling to the nest such as grass clippings. They almost always nest in a dark dry areas out of sunlight and almost always never above 2-3 ft off of the ground.The female will spend her intire life at her nest. It is rare to see one out in the open like the one pictured above. This spider must have been disturbed.We also have a very good population of Brown Widow spiders in the Beulah area. They both have the distinctive red hour glass except the other is brown. First symptom of Black Widow bite is severe abdominal pain.

| By all means make sure there are no sources if ignition of any kind. I even unplugged my freezer for about 8 hours.

Its basically a brand new detached garage without too much clutter and no sources of ignition, so I'll give the bombs a try.
