I bug bomb my garage every 6 months. Between the black widows, funnel "grass" spiders, and wolf spiders, it's worth it. Wolf and funnel spiders are basically harmless but I still don't like 'em.

...and don't leave your zip-up motorcycle cocoon open when you're out riding, or guess what will be crawling around/inside it? Spiders and other bugs. LOL

 

I read a few articles and it seems its an urban myth about recluse spiders here. Thanks. I dont mind the black widows.

 

Orkin, Torco, Terminex................just suggestions.

 

Shoe, rolled up newspaper...

 

I said to my OL, "How about hand me that newspaper?"
"Don't be silly," she replied, "you can borrow my iPad."
That f*cking spider never knew what hit it.

 

I hate spiders too like nobody's business. I have done the windmill dance on many many occasions when I am unlucky enough to walk thru one of those garden spider webs stretched across my trail to my pond.

Unfortunately our spider population in my house is 98% brown recluse and 1% bigbutta garden spiders with 2 foot long legs and bright yellow too boot yikes they are scary and 1% harmless little tiny brown colored black widow lookalikes that like the dark.

I hadn't until now thought about one getting in my lid since I use it a lot but now I will be paranoid thanks.

 

Had a black widow land on my arm while cleaning out a chicken coop. Yes I screamed like a school girl.

 

HA!

I'm embarrassed to admit how hard I laughed at that... after thinking about it for a few seconds of course.

Nice.

 

Brown Widows here in Southeast LA
They're everywhere
