Nasty little buggers!!! Kill'em all the time in my shop. My sister has a similar scar on her calf from a bite years ago.

And we complain about skeeters

That's what I told the exterminator. He told me to use glue boards but our dogs always seem to get them. They make little hardboard covers that protect the glue trap from dust and pets but I haven't tried that.

Did you ever find any of these covers that would protect glue traps from dogs?

The only thing a spider should ever meet is a flame or bottom of a boot.

Brian is your wife real sore. When I got bite on the calf my hole leg was was sore for awhile. It was a crazy kinda soreness like bones and all sore.

Yes, for about 2 or 3 months she was very sore.

I need to build some boxes so dogs can't get to them, because dogs love them.

Make a little cage out of 1/2" mesh hardware cloth to put over them---

About 3 weeks ago I was doing lawn work and taking care of a burn pile when something nailed me right at the top of my sock. I slapped it away before I even saw what it was, but it was dark, like a honey bee I thought and not a wasp. Well, that sucker still itches a bit, and has a match-head sized scab in the middle of a dime-sized red spot. I think it was a spider of some sort-maybe a black widow, but not a recluse.

It is amazing how many are in the barn, and garage. They love clutter! !! And we got plenty of clutter [emoji1]

Yeah, seen a bunch of them in our metal building. Have to be REAL careful about leaving gloves, rags, boxes of junk, etc. lying around. They say they're not aggressive; most people are bitten when they accidentally put their hand directly on one, something like that.

I remember a shovel was leaning against a wall out there. Just sitting right there on the handle, RIGHT where you'd grab it, was a brown recluse. If I hadn't been paying attention, you'd be looking at my bite pictures, too.

Great lunch time read.

Why --why....WHY would a spider need to inflict that kind of damage like that...when the bite itself doesn't hurt and the effects aren't even apparent for days after...
Evil little creatures.. glad it wasn't worse..if that even makes sense at this point...
geez..

That's it I'm never going outdoors again!
