well...we are still finding the babies here and there, I just pick them up and put them outside.
I wouldn't have even asked here, but I wanted to know if this ever happened to anyone else, because when we called the farm they acted all NORMAL and said "spray the tree with bug spray...it was out in nature"...so a WHOLE can of bug spray later and the lil Fkrs wouldn't die...I said Enoughs enough! a couple spiders I can deal with....a god damn ARMY of them I can't!
I will probably NEVER again sit on the couch that was next to the tree...lol
LOL. Awesome thread.
A lot of spiders (maybe all of them?) are immune to poisons, so bug spray wouldn't work anyway.
We have a black widow infestation at work pretty much every year (I mean, thousands of them, everywhere you look. Big fat ones too.). We called an exterminator out to get rid of them, and they said that they don't have anything that can kill them.
The only wait to get rid of them is to get rid of their food supply (which would have been impossible) and wait for them to starve to death or go somewhere else.
I've thought about putting some of them in a film canister to bring home to take pictures of it, but I wouldn't know WTF to do with it when I was done.
Killing it just seems kinda mean, but on the other hand, I don't want it anywhere near my apartment, lol.
BTW - they say that you are NEVER more than 4 feet away from a spider - they are
everywhere...
