keggerz Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 yesterday morning when I got into my truck I noticed a series of webs/cobwebs on the passenger side from the bottom of the seat to the dash area (floor board)....I had a hammer on the seat so I knocked it down with the hammer...I wasn't to happy about it since I hate spiders and snakes...today the web is back in the same place basically so I knock it down....I figure tonight after dark I will peak in to see what type of spider is in there...that is if it rebuilds the crazy looking web...well sure enough there was a spider in it...shined the light on it from the outside and it looked like an orchid spider...but when I got in the truck and shined the light on it I noticed the hour glass on the bottom just as I realized that was what it was I must have moved a bit as I was going to attempt to swat and kill it when it suddenly took off for under my dash I am now waiting to see if it returns tonite...let me say I am not happy about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) i got the F.o. cker....with the help of a sacrificial moth (R.I.P moth) edit: now I have to hope I dont see any additional webs because I worry that the punk might have left an egg sac in there and I am going to end up with 100's of the little F'rs in there Edited August 20, 2010 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I don't like them either. We get them in our garage all the time so I'm especially careful when I move something around. They pack a nasty bite!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow let your car air out for a little while before you go anywhere, that should take care of any potential little spider bastards running around in your car.

cre8tiff Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm having a nasty little problem with brown recluses. The fu0ckers aren't being so reclusive lately and DAMN they have gotten big! I killed four last night including one that was about an inch and a half across (which is a monster for a brownie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEC=UGA Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 If you guys were real men you'd just pick the little bassturds up off of the floor and eat them in order to kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recluses like to use cardboard as a hiding place. Worst part about the recluse if that you won't find them in webs. No real warning that they are there till you either see em or get bit by em.

wiegie Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm having a nasty little problem with brown recluses. The fu0ckers aren't being so reclusive lately and DAMN they have gotten big! Caught and killed one in my mom's guest bedroom when we were down in Shiloh last week. She is a teacher and normally uses the room as her place to store papers, books, etc. It's the first time we've ever seen a brown recluse in her home, but she probably has dozens of them. I told her that she needs to give up her packrat habits. (Worst thing about recluses is that bug-bombs usually don't work on them as they stay so deep in their hiding spots that the fumes don't reach them.)

Once you have Recluses in your home the only hope of knowing you got them out is regular professional extermination. I had a customer who got bit by one shortly after Katrina. He was staying in one room of his home due to flooding. He was rebuilding. Figures he got bit in his sleep but didn't know what he was bit by. Damn near lost his leg to the flesh eating venom. He finally hired a professional exterminator almost a year after he finished his house as he was bitten again while unpacking. Guy damn near sold the house over them little basturds!

About a decade ago, a friend of mine bought a house in Kansas City that was infested with them--the professional exterminators would not guarantee that they could get rid of them.

Jimmy Neutron Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Our home here in CA was overrun with spiders when we moved in - I tried to play Billy the Exterminator, but had to call a pro in the end. My oldest son stopped sleeping in his room because he was tied of being bit several times per night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 That is too cool. thanks...he/she really wasn't very big at all...but when I would move the camera lens in it would sorta try to sprawl out to look bigger and more menacing...fwiw, that is the type of spider that gets around like spiderman...you know when you are walking and suddenly there is a single web in your face...well you can thank jumpers for that.
