Beautiful but it gives me the willys
NSX-Stalker said:While a black widow can rarely kill an adult their bite is very painful. They can kill kids and animals so if you have either I would clean them out of there. How big is that one btw? Looks farely large.

Wow. In my experience, that is enormous for a Black Widow.deedubb said:I'd say bigger than the diameter of a golf ball (legs open of course).
deedubb said:Yeah, those are incredibly deadly. Glad they're not common around here :biggrin:
FeetFxr said:Very rarely deadly, but I've had to partially amputate several feet and toes from their bites (Brown Recluse that is). The amount of tissue damage they cause is amazing.

What I like to do is give the spider a partial freeze, be careful because too much and it will die. Maybe just freeze a leg or two. Then let her slowly thaw and gain strength in her legs, then hit her with a little bit more, this time maybe in the eyes. Freeze a small section on the abdomen, make that red hourglass turn white with frost. Keep freezing and thawing till she can take no more. It's best if she's got little black widow babies watching so they will learn their lesson not to hang around your place. If it's just an egg sack, freeze it solid, toss it in the toilet and watch it sizzle. The best thing about canned air is that you don't get any residue left and the tube gives you precision.
even crush it in my bare hand if nothing else was available.
