spider in the Grow room

[tyler.durden]

Nope.
I'd live on raft in the ocean first.

I hear that. Still, I'd rather have spiders than cats.

 

[GrassBurner]

Yeah, but you don't want wolf spiders with a five inch leg span just showing up, without a solid idea where they came from...

I used to have a fishing spider that lived in my cabin that I named Optimus Prime. Each section of his body was about the size of a quarter, he was huge. But I never saw a bug in there. Miss that little fellow.

They are allowed to live and let live in THE YARD.
Inside, No bueno.

See, That's where I go outside, get the hazard tape, tape the house quickly, and leave and never come back.

There was just a little spider on my laptop screen when I was reading this. Not anymore.

I give this thread four stars for comedy. One star for pets in the grow room. Five stars for the compassion of the pet owner.
I know several grown ass men that will hurt a mofo over a damn spider. I’m every girls hero because I don’t give no shits about bugs or snakes or much of anything that’s freaking out the wife or kids. However I’m cool with live and let live if it’s a choose.

Banana spiders suck. I always ended walking into a web on Guam, or coming face to face with one when I was looking for Boonie peppers.

Agree. just being close by is not enough to get me excited. With that said I will dispatch of a bees nest if it is inside of my comfort zone,
while I will let a spider web outside hang around.

There is one web in my garage that has a debris field under it. Wings and indigestible parts dropped from the web.

That does suck. Walking in the mountain countryside in these parts is bad for that.
Walking a trail is usually not too bad.

Step off of the beaten path and

That's why you carry a stick........for webs

 

[raratt]

Pretty much the whole valley around here is really bad for Black Widows, even up into the mountains a bit. I've been bitten once, don't want to do it again. Their webs feel almost like fishing line, really strong, that's how I can tell there is one in the area.

The spider jumped and landed on the floor and I immediately stomped it.

and I took that personally

I really hate to kill pollenaters but red wasp and other mean ass stinging mofos, once they’ve drone first blood, well it’s on then.

Surprised myself. I struck like a ninja. He never knew it was coming. He was busy trying to intimidate my cat. He went to heaven a bully.

I'm in northern Alberta and have Black Widows in my grow room ffs. They must have been here since I bought the place from an old couple almost 20 years ago. My grow room was a cold room full of shelves and they used to store bulk fruit and veg they'd buy at farmers markets so maybe came in a bunch of bananas or something. Was looking close at one that I disturbed sweeping the floor and thoght it looked like a BW so caught it and put it in a little glass jar I had down there to get a look at it's belly and sure enough.

Dumped it out in the corner by the heater and told it catch some bugs.

I see little ones too so they must be eating something.

Spider farmer?

I'm in Virginia, which is quite possibly the home range for Black Widows.
They don't bother me.
I have crawled out from under houses to find them hanging from the brim of my hat. I usually find a nice cinderblock for them to live in.
They are not aggressive spiders and only want to bite their mate, and maybe a few of my compost pile residents.
They are beautiful. The Lord was honest when he made them.
That gloss black is a warning. Mess around and see the hourglass and you deserve the pain.
