I had a visit from one of those ladies while I was working on my Mercedes the other day. Scared the spit out of me! Nasty little buggers.

time to try a new smily ...

Black Widow spiders. Jeez, I had to study them for a year when I was working for a company that dealt with pesticides.

Dark dry secluded places.

Easy to kill but man the bite.

Swallowing them kills them quickly though.

had a few of those in our backyard... I walked thru one web with a huge blackwidow on it...freaked me out for a few hours afterward, I kept thinking I had something crawling on me...ick....

I got bit by one of those last year working on Joe Buckles car. Turned all black and blue and swelled up. It's a little painful too. Like anything else, it went away after a month or two.

Hey Scott remember all of them on and in the 928 I still think one got me dead center on my back while I was hooking up the chains I got a big ol welt and it hurt like a MF for a long time:(

Could very well be, that is what was on my arm that time. Hurts for a long time and bruises and swells. Not a fun thing to have. What was funny about it, everyone always told me it was painful to get bitten, it was only painful about an hour after the bite, at first it was more like an itch.

watch for those under outdoor water spigots, and in you workshop gloves. A shot of carb cleaner, and your boot does the trick

My father has a 27 Chevy. When he brought it home, it was home to about 5 black widow spiders. We put a plastic tarp over the car and put a bug bomb underneath. After 3 bug bombs, all the spiders were gone.

The car got named the black widow.

nasty bastards! I hate spiders...

anyone ever watch Venom ER? those Black widows make Grown men full-on SICK as a dog for >24hours! and the "anti-venom" is worse: majority of people are allergic to the "cure" and some die from it.

they like to hang out by water faucets too, evidently.

There...HA! One thing you have in Cali that we DON'T here in the Mid-West!

See....It's not ALL sun, and rust-free teeners out there!

Hate 'em. They are everywhere here. As I type this I can guarantee there is one in each lower corner of the garage-door and one in the sprinkler-valve box in the back yard. As fast as I kill them new ones move in. Ick. :creeped-out:

Not so lucky here in KY, I had 2 in my crawl space in a brand new house.

Two words:

Shop Vac.

we got 'em down here like crazy too... a lot of old houses are pier and beam and I'll garuntee the bastards are down there... in sheds, we have Brown recluses too... NASTY!

Six words: Shop Vac. Bug Spray. Same Time.

Yep, lousy with Brown Recluse's here too.....they're friggin' everywhere. Okay, this thread with the "Big Bitch", looking as nasty as she does, is a good time to remind everyone.......at least we don't have these!!

As a kid, we used to hunt black widows, and capture 20-30, and put them all in a single bottle, and roll that thing around the yard, to piss them off in the hot sun...



One bit my grandmother, in an old pump house, she was very sick, and over the next year, I sifted thru every inch of that little shed, every day, making sure the next generation paid.

Scatter made web, in my gran'maws shed, don't look for spiders, 'cause they's all dead.

The recluse is a much wilder bite, and it leaves a scar that looks like black scabbing, and worse.

Definitely!!

Pic of day 11 after a brown recluse bite..........

A guy at work got bit 3 weeks ago.......he's still out.

Oh good gravy! That looks like the biggest cigarette burn. It'll heal? It sure looks like they'd need to amputate.

Had an old guy at work that got bit on the thumb and didn't get to the Doc quick enough. Ended up losing his thumb, and all of his fingers on that hand, except the pinky, due to gangrene. Luckily for him he was 2nd level management, and didn't do anything productive anyway.

hahahaha

YIKES!
