Well damn my ignorance, I thought these things were only found in Africa, I didn't realise you had to contend with them in the USA.

I suppose it's something you've got to think about when you're messing about in the garden?

 

Why is it that you can only take the anti-venom once in your lifetime?

 

I hate spiders so bad, I would consider selling the place and MOVING!!!

 

Funny you should mention that Greg - our house is currently for sale so we can build our lakehouse! I am fine after 18 holes of golf and several beers, so I guess I didn't get bit. None the less, I will be calling the 'bug man' tomorrow.

 

MAN! I am freaking out for YOU as well!

I hate Black Widows. . .hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em!

Here are some pics so we all can freak out a little more!




Here's a link for you on how to KILL THEM!

Oh man. . .these pics are making me freak out!

 

That first one looks just like the 2 sisters I killed! I think I'm going to buy stock in the companies that make those chemicals - I will be ordering A LOT!

Thanks for the info everyone. By the way, while I was looking for information on this subject, my wife scared the crap out of me by sneaking up and tickling my neck - I think she will be the next pest I stomp on!

 

Seen that movie Arachnaphobia? I was scared to sleep after that.

 

LOL

Geezus those pics freak me out!!
Best to play it safe my man.

If I can go into a little story here... The only thing in the world I'm truely afraid of is spiders, all of them, dosen't matter. I scream like a little girl if one gets too close.
I have often said ( and others can verify ) that my own personal hell would be trapped in a small place with thousands of spiders. I figured I would die of fear.
Well one day on my way to work I was trapped on the hgwy when a spider rapells down in front of my face. I freak out swerve a liltte, and finally smush it against the window. Now I have that feeling of them walking all over me. I look up and see HUNDREDS of spiders crawling on the roof of my car. I'm losing it, shaking, and I can't pull over on the highway. Finally when I get the chance to get over I do, and run from the car like its gonna blow. I had just started a new job and was going to be late. Someone saw me freaking out on the side of the road. Embarresed, I tell him the problem, and he offered to kill them all for me. 20 minutes later I got the nerve up to get back in my car. The cost seemed clear, he had warned me of the bug guts though. I finally got to the office, an hour late, and pull the seat forward to grab my briefcase. Behind my headrest are hundreds more spiders. I'm practically comatose by now. I go into the office, mumble an apology to my boss, and headed straight for the shower. When I got out, I borrowed a friends car, went to Canadian Tire, and bought 5 cans of bug killer. I sprayed every freakin can in the car, and shut it tight. I spent the next 3 hours reading a book on the curb waiting for all those bastards to die. This was a thursday, by Saturday the car was sold.

All in all, I gotta say. I lived through my biggest fear. but they still scare the living shit out of me!!
