    The DREADED TRAP DOOR SPIDER I visited your fine country in the seventies, and those bugs are scary!
    Territorial spiders that get up on their hind legs and chase you down-Blagggh.

    Here in SoCal we have black widows and brown recluse spiders.
    You really don't want to get bit by a brown recluse...

    I lived most of my life in California. Black widows were just a part of life unless my dad remembered to spray for them. Got bit once, that ****ed. I remember my dad coming in from weedwhacking the backyard (it was overgrown really bad) and he had one on his face. I couln't even talk, I just started freakin out and I smacked him on the face which knocked the spider on the floor where it got stepped on. I'm not sure how I survived that one, being as how I smacked my dad. I think you can get some bug and spider raid which should work fine.

    Whatever you do, don't use the "Ortho" or other brand name "spider-killers". That stuff just shoo's them away until the smell wears off. You're better off with carb cleaner...and your choice of cold beverage to sit and watch them contort! Had a bad case of 'em when I lived in Texas. Know that I live up here, its just the Brown Recluse. Now don't get me wrong, but a couple years ago an elementary school in Ohio was infested with recluses and they said tthey wouldn't affect the kids if they were bit! I'm glad I don't have kids...or trust anyone with an "expert" opinion:D.

    i just choked laughing!!!

    firecrackers are a fun way to get rid of them...the shockwave (of a good sized one anyway ;)) will kill within a foot. get a big roll and run it around under everything (using a long stick and gloves of course) and light that ****er. any that aren't killed, not likely, won't be coming back any time soon. especially if you sit out waiting with some carb or brake cleaner. starting fluid drops them really well too.:D

    i was changing a fuel pump at work a few weeks ago and when i unplugged the electrical connector and a good sized spider was crouched there looking at me. gave him a poke with my finger and the little ****** dropped into the puddle of gas below and promptly shuffled off his mortal coil. did give me a little start to see him there at first :p

    Propane torch....burns the eggs, webs, and spiders when you go over them. Be careful and stay away from dryer vents! (oops).

    LOL!
    Reminds me of an incident that happened to me.
    I had a road runner years ago I put in granny's one car garage over the winter. It had cherry bomb mufflers right off the headers and that was it, no more exhaust.

    Anyway, over the winter a family of ra****s had nested under the car. I went to get it, and momma-ra**** was none too happy with humans in the garage. Me and my brother managed to get a battery charger hooked up while he stood guard with a broom.

    Next day I went back. Momma-ra**** was shreiking and hissing from under the car. I wore army boots just incase she tried to come after me, but she stayed under there.

    Hopped in and fired that 'mutha up... 500 horsepower worth of 440 came to life. A big puff of black smoke and screaming open exhaust @ 4000 rpm...

    The whole family was standing outside watching as a dozen small furry critters came flying out half on fire. I just kept gunning the engine. Dust falling from the rafters, exhaust smoke, and thundering big block mopar.... I dont think those ra****s stoped running untill they hit the Alabama state line :D

    I pulled out of the garage, and everyone was laughing their ***es off. Granny laughed so hard, she actually peed herself.

    Yeah, well, I think that was the problem. After you use the badgers to get rid of the wasps or hornets or spiders, then you find yourself with a badger problem. I would rather have a dryer sheet problem than a badger problem, all things considered.

     
  14. badgers, we dont need no stiiiinking badgers.....
