A few hours ago, I went into the laundry room and found a huge ass web between the window and table.  In it was some dead insects including a wolf spider, and a fucking black widow who died via a lighter held under it.  Now I am afraid of infestation.

If I were to be bit by one of these fuckers, would I feel it?  I mean. I have been bitten by harmless spiders in my sleep and I never woke from pain.  Is a black widow's bite painful?

Also, how would I know I was bitten?  Swelling?  How risky are these little bastards?  My understanding is that they are not dangerous at all to a grown human.

Nuke the room with RAID.

Maybe Dr Fridge can help

Yep.


Also you will definetly know it if you are bit.  It hurts.  But the real pain is in recovery while the tissue dies and regrows.  I would bomb it.  Probably just that one spider though.

Depends on the person. When i was bit, it was a huge welt and blister that the scar stayed with me for more than 6 months but there was hardly any pain at all. Some eople get nasty reactions.

By the way if your washer breaks... no offense... dont call me. I dont like spiders all that much.

Well, it IS a GE.  Bought it just over a year ago, before reading about them from you.

Not dangerous, maybe. Make you feel like warmed-over shit for a couple of weeks, you betcha. Get a couple of foggers, and frag the room.

Better fog the hell outta that room , at least a couple of times

Pour about 5 gallons of diesel in the room and toss in a road flare.   It's the only way to be sure.
