So, you just dragged out your new barn/shed find

and looked under it and there's about a zillion blackwidows under it.

What's your solution to get rid of the spiders?

 

bug bomb,,,HRP

 

gasoline and a match! ha ha.. that sounds scary

 

They don't like carb cleaner....

 

I hate spiders, they creep me out big time, and I havnt even seen a black widow before in person. If it were me, I would call in a professional, I wouldnt take any risk of not eraticating those guys 100%.

 

What do you do? Lay a cheap HF blue tarp over it and bug bomb it?

 

PS...gas is near 4 bucks a gallon...gotta try something different

 

Have you're EX-wife get under there to clean them out!!

 

Ammonia (use outdoors) or Lemon Pledge. When I worked for a contractor, my boss carried a can of Lemon Pledge in his truck because he was seriously scared of spiders. I've seen him use it a few times and they ****tered out of his work area without returning.

There are some remedies for keeping them out of the shed which is the bigger problem in my opinion. A quick Google search will most likely net you a hundred or so options.

 

Good idea on the google search...but figured there'd be a lots of guys/gals here who have been into the same thing.

Oh...no ex wife...then again, the current Mrs. 3Mike6 and myslef are not getting along real good these days...so maybe I could just hand her a broom and tell her to get busy

Damn...where's that insurance policy at?

 

Re: the Pledge...did it kill them on contact? I don't want them ****tering out just yet, rather try to contain and kill'em.

 

bug bomb! simple and then just power wash them away

 

I ***ume you have to tent/tarp the car?

 

get the gun!!!

 

That's the right answer and bees drop dead on contact too

 

Cover the car with a heavy tarp, use something to keep the edges down and set off a couple bombs. Stick around, in case some of the ****ers make a break for it. Afterwards, power wash the hell out of it. I don't mean no car wash, I mean a REAL power wash. Even if you have to rent it.

Good luck.

Oh, if you do miss a few:

Treating a black widow spider bite:
Black widow venom is a neurotoxin - it effects the nerves and is extremely painful. The fatality rate for black widow spider bites is under 5% but the pain and discomfort that is caused is intense and can last for days. If someone gets bitten by a black widow, wash the bite well with soap and water, do your best to capture the spider and then head to your doctor immediately. If you’re lucky, the spider may not have injected any venom during the bite.

 

Black Widow In Australia, we've got proper spiders.

Bug bomb them. Spiders ****.

 

step 1.) give them a hit of brake cleaner..
step 2.) lift foot.
step 3.) drop foot on the lil ****er..

in the event of investation , do all the above , put on some music ..
ITS TIME TO RIVER DANCE!!!

if all else fails have your wife kill them or do what ^fred^ suggest..

 

cheapest and most effective way believe it or not is dryer sheets..they will never come back

 

load it up on the trailer and take the car to your local pest control business and walk in and tell them"you got a job for them".

 

This might sound odd, but...

got any pics ?

 

Hmm, makes you wonder what the heck is in dryer sheets that smells so good.

I'd tent it nice a tight and gas it with a couple of cans. Keep animals and kids away, and then go back to it in a couple of days and let it air out in the sun for a while and then slowly check it over and be ready with some Raid or something for any or the really tough ones.

Or call a professional, push the car back in the garage and let him take care of both garage and the car at the same time.

I am not too afraid of spiders, but having one or even always thinking one is crawling up your pants leg or in shirt is not a good feeling.

 

quit being a ***** and start working on it .. your way bigger then a spider there more scard or you then they are of you .. plus if does bit you it isent gonna kill you .you ll just be a little sick for a day

 

If i was you i wouldn't fool with it. To much danger. Post a picture, I may be able to haul it away for a very low fee.

 

Why don't you just get rid of the whole car, that will do it! I'll come get it.. No thanks is necessary. Doing things like that for people is thanks enough.

 

I tried the dryer sheet trick after reading it in the hornet/wasp thread and it didn't really work.

That thread also mentioned badgers...try one of those.

 

Badgers to get rid of the spiders or dryer sheets to get rid of the badgers??

 

Bug bombs / foggers (which use pyrethrum) are lethal to flying creatures but aren't as much to the crawlers. Plus, bombs are repellants... it'll just send the spiders to ****ter.

Call a pest control company, there's an Orkin in your hood.

 

Id say send this guy to do it. Let Darwin have his way.
