So I just finish reading the other spider thread and decide to take the dog out for his nightly walk. Anyway, been having problems finding black widows building webs around the outside of my garage lately, literally killed prolly a dozen or more in the past 3 weeks, so I always check for new ones nightly. See this one right next to the gutter, picture doesn't do it justice it was definately the biggest one I've seen to date. Sprayed it with wasp/hornet spray (thats all I've got right now), and went to get something I could swat at it with and it was gone..............

fire!

I'm hoping it fell dead into the pile of leaves at the bottom of the gutter.......but I'm not checking right now......

There is a rumor that if you don't kill a black widow, It will come back and get you

Triazicide is your friend

let me see if I can find those plans for the home built flame thrower.

Chloridane is the best, of course the EPA and asst twits banned it. I am hoarding my 3/4 gallon concetrate carefully.
