look what i found in the garage today

[bat1159man]

Used to store extra cases of beer in my garage in San Rafael, CA. Had to check when opeing them of the little Black Widows. One day, someone stole my bike out of my garage along with a case of beer. I hope the S.O.B. bot bit with one of my unwanted pets!

It was a monthly routine to spray down the garage and the outside foundation areas. Saw plenty of them in the garden all year long.

You should "milk" the venom and put a drop in your hollowpoints, seal them with wax or something. NOW you are set!

You might want to deal with that spider soon, cuz if she gets out, she'll come looking for you, and she'll be pissed!

We are lucky up here in Alaska. The only thing we have is the Brown recluse. I rather come face to face with a Griz. At least you can see them charging you. Also we have NO SNAKES of any kind.

I'd have my house professionally exterminated, and watch what chemical they actually use- maybe you can buy it yourself. BWs are a fact of life, unfortunately. Nice specimen.

Spiders are like snakes to me, there are 4 types:

- Big ones
- Small ones
- Alive ones
- Dead ones

A wettable powder or micro encapsulated formula will work best for spiders, go on line and look for Demon WP, Cynoff WP, or Demand CS. By the way there is a huge black market going on at ebay look on there, you can get the same products for the most part as the Pest Control Operators use there.
Be careful spraying wettable powders on dark surfaces as they will leave a white film, and if you can get any of these products mentioned above read the label closely they are no joke.

I used to live in Wauchula, FL ... had those things in my garage constantly.

I grew up in AZ and when I was a kid I would catch black widow spiders in my dad's tool shed. I would put a couple in a jar and watch them fight to the death. Once you put two together they will go at each other instantly. I would also take my mothers hair spray and spray the hell out of them. Once they were stiff and dead I would leave them for my favorite teacher to find in her pencil drawer. I know I was a sick kid . Trust me I am a lot better now. Just ask my wife .

we are covered up by black widows and brown recluses in okla. mostly just leave em alone and they wont bother you. i do know 2 people that have been bit by recluses and thats a nasty looking scar you get. not a critter you want to mess with.
