We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

If BW's were after people, I'd be looooong dead by now! I relocate rather than squish spiders that would probably freak you out a LOT more than a black widow.  They don't all get the valet treatment, but when I don't feel threatened I do not kill.  We live in the mountains, and spiders are just part of the territory.  Heck, I named a daddy long legs 'Cereal Spider' for guarding over our stash of cereal on the fridge.  :smt005

I felt the same way until I was bitten by one in my sleep. I was just laying in my bed mindin my own business...

Now they die on sight.

I've been bitten myself by a black widow.  Not fun.  I was reaching for a ball in a juniper bush.  Never saw or felt the bite, juniper bushes are kinda scratchy anyways.  Until later!

I have to set off bug bombs several times a year under my Jeep that is parked along side the house, the Black Widows love to hide in that vehicle.  After the bug bomb I usually find a lot more dead BW's on the ground in the immediate area.

Now that is funny Al, sad but funny. My son took a photo of a black widow right between his fingers right before he torched her. He is a plumber and was under a home doing repairs and he almost put his hand on her. She died a horrible death by torch!

I have them come in my home when they are small and take up residence right in the corner of my bottom stair. I usually get three to four of them a year make that mistake. They grow big enough to where I can see them with my old eyes then death!

I have gotten two scorpions too in my home; one in the garage and one in the master bedroom. I don't like them either, but I am so intrigued by the way they look. We used to catch the big black ones in Kuwait and Camel Spiders and do battles to the death

Thanks Tote. Found a benzomatic in the garage! I brought the water house along with me just in case the bush caught fire. And it did [emoji16] hopefully the problem is solved
