Killed 2 Blackwidow spiders

Wow I had seen some of you all talk about them and I was not shocked when I saw to in my garage yesterday. They do make a satisfying pop when you kill them.

Damn things are everywhere because of the heat, I guess. At my in-laws place I've killed 2 black widers, one scorpion, and the exterminator just came out and sprayed around the house last Monday! My cousin killed 7 at her house just last week.

We had 20 scorpions in the house since oct. '11. Not these counted we found outside.
Spiders as well... just didn't see a snake so far...

So far this summer I have killed 2 scorpions, 4 black widows and a pygmy rattler. I found a tarantula in the garage but I let it go, they wont hurt anything. The scorpions where in the house the rest where in the barn. Got to love the country, never know what you'll see out here.

One I killed earlier this summer: My son left his baseball glove outside a few days and for some reason I picked it up threw it down on patio real hard just to check and sure enough out came ms black widow.

Had a big mature widow right above the entry door to the reloading room. Perfect hour glass. The fiddlers are everywhere. Getting to where I can identify those suckers mainly by color now and leg shape from 10 feet now I have captured/killed so many to confirm.

Familiarize yourself with Black Widow webs, they don't really look like any other spider. They are very wispy and look like they were done by a drunken spider. Once you learn to recognize one you can find widows a lot easier! Wasp spray works wonders on dispatching of them.

Here's a few tricks for scorpions, if you have a lot of them. Put the legs of your bed inside glass jars, scorpions can't climb them to get in your bed. Also, if you have a black light, scorpions will fluoresce.

I have seen nothing but dead fiddlebacks in my house since I sprayed the baseboards with pymethin I bought at Lowes. They walk across the sprayed area and dont make it another 10' and stop there to die. The spray last indoors for months (like 6-7) but outside the heat (and water) will break it down in a few weeks.
