I found a black widow spider and killed it of course. Someone commented here (I think on page 1 or 2) that if you see 1 black widow expect to see 25-30. Well yesterday I killed 25 brown widows and 45 eggs so I may have only 5 more to go... then to start the cycle again in a week. I am ready for them. This is my house!!!!!! MY HOUSE!!!!!!

I went over and caught it in a Tupperware container and was looking at it when I noticed it had the "red hourglass" shape on it. I knew it wasn't a black widow because it was brown with kind of striped legs so I began to research online and realized it is a brown widow, YIKES! We just moved form Ohio and I had always feared the black widows and brown recluse but had no clue that now I need to worry about brown widows in my HOME! I have 2 small kids and am worried sick about what to do to get these spiders gone. Any help please?!?!?!?!

I quickly dispatched an additional foe that had remained unseen previously. Bringing the enemy body count to four. I knew that smartest and most formidable hostile remained. She was guarding another training camp and seemed to anticipate my advances. I used a flash bang as a diversion then in a classic flanking maneuver I annihilated the camp of young insurgents. At this point the last high ranking official realized the overwhelming force that was against her and fled to a nearby crevice. Knowing she could no longer perry blows, she undoubtedly planned her counter attack in a more clandestine manner. I then dropped a 500 microliter pyrethroid allethrin "bunker buster" into the stronghold. As a last ditch effort and a display of valiant courage, she attempted a static line drop on me as I raised the garage door, I then engaged her in hand to hand combat and decidedly overcame the enemy combatant. It would appear the enemy has been wiped out for now and the territory is again friendly, but one must remain vigilant to their clandestine advances back into this region.

This year, however, there were 0 black widows. Instead, a new population of spiders moved in - brown widows. all had hourglasses, and all were brownish or grayish with white marks on the legs. We killed 40 of them. and 2 slugs :P OC, California

At the house we're renting we have a screened in pool area where my wife noticed a large brown spider by the pool. After looking around a little more, we found 2 additional spiders...all with the familiar orange "hour-glass" shape on it's belly. After a quick Google search, we found that they are brown window spiders. After reading up on them a little, we realized it would probably be best not to let it bite us. By the time we read that, my father in-law, whom was already out there poking at it was laying face down in the pool twitching. At that point we knew it bit him. lol I'm kidding...about my father in-law anyway. I also, against my girlfriends pleads, let them be and didn't "spray them" like she wanted me to. ha We will not be bringing any of these back with us as souvenirs. I took a couple cell phone pictures and am submitting the best two of the bunch. :) <a href="http://www.badspiderbites.com/spider-bites-pictures/120.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-282" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Brown Widow Spider" src="http://www.badspiderbites.com/spider-bites-pictures/120-150x150.jpg" alt="Brown Widow Spider" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.badspiderbites.com/spider-bites-pictures/25.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-283" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Brown Widow Spider" src="http://www.badspiderbites.com/spider-bites-pictures/25-150x150.jpg" alt="Brown Widow Spider" width="150" height="150" /></a> My family and I are currently vacationing in the Orlando, FL area from upstate NY.

I have been bitten 5 times now by something that is causing a dime size hole in my body. Depth- can fit an entire cue tip head in the holes when cleaning them out. Massive pockets under the skin of poison and puss. If anyone may be able to help me identify exactly just what the hell is getting me, please email me. if you need a picture of the infected site, email me and ask me for one and ill have one taken for you. thanks Trying to identify what has been biting me exactly.

I was on my lanai this morning and noticed a brown spider underneath the metal support of the screen cage, inside the lanai. I then started to look for more and low and behold-a total of 11 within a 20 foot area including a spiky nest. I found them under the patio chairs, tables and other supports. I immediately went online and found out with photos that they are Brown Widows. I sprayed them all and bagged them, including the nest. I will not tolerate having poisonous spiders around my living space. That just seems like WAY too many in such a small area. I had recently power-washed the lanai and had sprayed off all of the areas to clean them. Now I am seeing the spiders. We have 2 cats and a small dog. I don't want to see them or my family members suffer from the affects of a bite from one. I am one who would be happy to eradicate them. Hi,
