ATTN..nature lovers..
we got our christmas tree yesterday...fresh cut...
it's INFESTED with big black ass spiders.....PLEASE does someone know if I should throw this thing out???
they are jumping spiders...the whole top of the tree was covered with nests...up along the main branch...
I sprayed it with bug spray...and sucked up all the biggest ones...but there are babies...
do these things bite? and will they infest my house?

I meant WTF!

Uh? Yeah? I mean, do you WANT spiders in your house just chillin'? I wouldn't, but that's just me. It seems like a pretty logical answer. Tree has spiders: Do you like spiders?

A) Yes
B) No

If you chose A, keep the tree in your house and enjoy the company of several jumping "black ass" spiders (potentially could be wielding firearms). If you chose B, get the tree the **** out of your house asap.

Those would be action macro shots.

Pictures of jumping spiders are not so bad.....

Also if you spray them with that fake snow stuff and wait 30 mins.
You can then hook strings to them and make them into ornaments.

I wouldn't have been able to get them...husband was freaking out...they were jumping all over off the tree...they even eluded the damn vacuum cleaner!
and if it was one spider...fine...two..eh...but 7 spiders that were as big as your thumbnail...and literally hunderds of babies jumping off onto my curtains and walls....

We took the tree back, they gave us a new one...this one isn't as nice...but it only had 1 spider nest and 1 praying mantis nest...they took them both off, I wanted to keep the mantis nest tho...to eat any spiders that made it off the tree and are hiding in my house.
Apparently this happens sometimes...one lady has a website dedicated just to her discovery.
:er:....just my luck.
