Re: Spiders
I am having a problem with these this year. The adults are about the size of a silver dollar. Don't know the proper name for them but I call them dead on arrival (of my shoe). I have killed about 30 of them in the last few weeks alone. Several that i have killed had what appeared to be hundreds of babies on their backs. Couldn't kill em quick enough with my foot so found the carb cleaner close by. The shop is 60x200 with 18' ceilings so I am dreading buying enough fogger to do the job .....but its getting to that point. There is also another really skinny long legged spider infestation that I need to get rid of but I can't get them to show up in the pictures.

Re: Spiders
Finally got one of the other spiders in a shot that I can see on the camera. It kinda reminds me of a gran daddy long leg but these guys will swell ya up pretty good when they bite.

Re: Spiders
Yours is a creepy spider for sure!
![]() He does look like a daddy-longlegs (harvestman) however yours is probably a real spider. The daddy-longlegs are shaped a little different and are not spiders at all…having no fangs, venom nor do they produce silk. .

Re: Spiders
Went out to grab some parts off the parts blazer and my short step p/u is parked next to it. I looked over and saw this monster all webbed up. Never saw one like this and he is about as big as a soup can. That blue pc below him is the top bed rail of the stepside.
I left him alone since I figured he could run faster than me. Richard

Re: Spiders
Well get this, my wife is a fanitic about animals bugs spiders and so on. If she finds eggs on a leaf she will put them into a jar to see them hatch to see what they are. She found a black widow and put it in a jar and kept it on the kitchen counter to watch it. Then she found a recluse and put it in there with the widow and recluse lived and the widow bit the dust we were shocked then she found another widow and the recluse bit the dust. and the widow must of been a female. Had hundreds of babys in the jar. Put it in the freezer for about 6 hours pulled it out warmed up and yes still alive. but they didnt survive a couple of days in the freezer. Yes my wife is crazy!!!!

Re: Spiders
saw this on the driveway this afternoon.
for those unfamiliar that is a spider wasp. not sure of the exact breed. looks a lot like a tarantula hawk, but it is smaller than most. the last one of those i saw was about 2 inches long. this one is maybe 1. they sting the spider causing temporary paralysis. then they lay an egg over the stinger hole. when the little bug hatches it migrates into the spiders abdomen and starts eating the least important parts first leaving the spider alive as long as possible. when the wasp pupates, out it comes and dead goes Mr. tarantula. sweet huh? ![]() |

Re: Spiders
We have a lot of black widows around so any metal item that has been setting in the corners (jack stands, wheel ramps, etc) get hit with the little trigger light weed burner before I grab them. Any I see in the open get shot with CRC degreaser.

Re: Spiders
Richard2717- we get those here occasionally too. Google "writing spider". They get pretty damn big, and are gnarly looking. But harmless.

Re: Spiders
I can't say I have to much of a problem with bugs other than wasps being where they should not be. (In my truck) I really have a problem with mice. When I removed my seat a few years ago and found 5 nests under it. I got a shop vac and vacuumed them up. One ran out of his nest and instantly I targeted him. He was moving well for a little bit but then for about a half second he was unable to go any further then he was sucked up backward into the hose. We have a severe problem with mice. When we first moved in they were always getting in the house being a nuance and all. We set traps and I felt sorry for one as in the middle of the night I woke up to find him dragging the trap by his nether region. I listens to this for hours before I got out of bed and then I found him. Wasps scare me but I can manage with them by working in the winter and spraying the truck regularly witch probably explains why I don't have a big bug problem.

Re: Spiders
I find it very sad that so many grown men are scared of something so tiny as a spider.

Re: Spiders
whats even more sad is that someone would make a foolish remark like this, some of us have a really bad reaction to the bites. next time think before you post.

Re: Spiders
gross those things are in CO too. My land searches are starting to go badly. 10 hours max drive from LA is my (wifes) limit. That basically puts me in rattlesnake and scorpion and tarantula areas in all directions except due north.
Hmm do those wasps sting people. can I start a tarantula wasp farm to protect my property? lol Is there something similar for the bark scorpion. |

Re: Spiders
I know this is an old thread but does anyone have any more information on getting rid of the brown recluse?I have two old vehicles infested with them.I have been using the sticky traps for the last three months.Some would say to use the foggers.Not a good idea.From what I have read they will just flee to another area like your house.
