I hate spiders, they're ookey!

[Winelover]

Kill them with FIRE!!!

Sound advice!

Them big garden spiders make some impressive webs. Fire does work well on them.

 

[Rick]

I pretty much leave spiders alone, the exception being poisonous or in the house. All they eat is bugs so not all that bad. They have black widows in Arkansas but I've only seen one in 5 years, it did not survive the encounter. In CA the score is black widows, 0 - Rick, thousands. I got black widow bit in Oregon in the 70's and an untold number of them have paid the price for the actions of their kind ever since.

You profiling Rick? I'm sure some black widows are very nice once you get to know them.

Don't forget the Brown Recluse, I know a few folk that have been bitten by them, a nasty business.

 

[Brad]

Brown recluse is a common cause of trouble around here. Nasty bites. Have seen more than a few at work who ran afoul of them.

 

[Brad]

John, I sowed Dawn your photos and she said it was nice meeting you that one time. One time.

 

[Rick]

Brad I'll bet you have most of those same spiders right outside your door. Do you really think your not living with them because your in NE?

 

[Brad]

Shhhhh, we don't discuss that here Rick. Ignorance is bliss to the women of the house.
We live in a wooded area. Spiders are a common sight. We just prefer not to see big spiders.

 

[Winelover]

The big ones, aren't problematic. It's the small ones that you need to be careful of.....Recluses and Widows. Lots of Widows here, just have to know where to look. Turn over a rock or log, and your apt to find one.

Brown Recluse are nasty, but I don't like any of 'em. I sometimes see the big hairy ones when I'm out with the weed whacker, but they're on the run when I see 'em.

Mud daubers make a mess with their construction, but they stuff 'em full of dead spiders.

They like to build in the mortar joints of my brick.

They're another form of spider wasp. I quit taking out their nests when I realized how many spiders they were killing. One nest I broke apart had over 400 wolf spiders in it, that's the last one I tore down that hadn't had all the daubers hatch out.

I always go with the lesser of two evils. If the spiders keep the other bugs at bay and there's a lot of other bugs, I'll cut the occasional spider a break. Like Rick though, that doesn't apply to black widows. They're dead on the spot (with extreme prejudice).
