Damn make sure you get rid of the eggs. I found one of those at work once in a box of grapes... I think it was either dead or knocked out because of the cold though, but it still scared the shat outta me.

Yeah, sacks are gone. I don't like to kill anything, but they are not safe to have around the zone, or around any kids or people. We have plenty of spiders and scorpions in the area, we let most live, but she had to go.

Wrong forum, this should be in tokers den. I find so many of those around, it's creepy. We were going to rent a wharehouse for a new office and when I inspected the cobwebs that lined the ENTIRE wall near the floor, it was covered with black widows. I mean every spider was a black widow. Theremust have been thousands in that wharehouse alone...Brown Recluse are worse, a friend of mine got bit by an angry one and the boil took like 2 months to begin to heal..

thanks for the heads up on the forum... didn't know. there are so many forums to choose from..

Those sacks probably had a few hundred in each... sucks. Hope you didn't carry any home with you.

After living for many years in Arizona, I can give you this advice: watch the babies if they hatch - they're more deadly than the parents.
As to me, I don't like to kill spiders either, but I make an exception for BW's, Wolf spiders and Brown Recluses'.

Wolf spiders hunt other ones... i let them live

Yuck.

Spiders are so scary, but I try to remember that they eat other bugs. I do remove them from my basement growing area though, before my cats do.
