that's nothing, try moving something in the garage loft that hasn't moved in two years. i ended up unleashing a barage of about 400 baby huntsmans slowly decending on top of me and around. harmless butt****...

Brown recluse love quite dark places. Garages or dark basements or crawl spaces clutter is also favorite like boxes full of crap. What they don't like is lots of activity and commotion. With as many, you are traping id shake out clothes and footwear before putting on. They are hard to kill because fumigation cant often reach them and their egg pockets block out pesticides to where you fumigate and a whole new batch hatches.

Honestly the only solution I see is going to an army surplus see it they have a flame thrower and some jellied gas.

You haven't taken the shot out of a turkey load and filled it up with salt and capped it with wax yet?

The house in Belton I grew up in had these bitches real bad! One got me on my knee in the middle of the night when I was 8. Sneaky ****er! Sick as dog for the longest time on that one

Hats off to you all in the midwest and elsewhere that have real spiders. Here in Ca we only have black widows but there is no accidentally running into them. Their webs are ridiculously easy to spot and stay away from or if you accidentally grab their web it feels like static electricity so you know immediately to yank your hand out. Our tarantulas are big but harmless.....

Nevada has an abundance of those SOBs. Worked on a project there first evening in the room after long day work I fill out my timesheet on the desk with my laptop. All sudden this big ass black shiny spider drops from its web behind picture frame. Hangs there stretching its legs its diameter of a nickel and has the red hourglass on its back. I look for something to smash it with before it slips away and nothing handy. I quickly remove my work boot and line up and smack him it drops to the carpet. I look everywhere for its remains to no avail which really gives me the eby jeebies. My boots are cleated with Vibram soles so figure it got lucky. Go to bet after shaking out sheets. next morning carrying equipment out to truck I find dead black widow in doorsill. It was my first of many encounters with these pests in Northern Nevada.

I kill them all the time in the spring and summer. Best weapon of choice are those 10' straight stream hornet/wasp spray cans. My last close encounter was around sunset while washing my travel trailer. I was spraying a jet of water in the fender wells and couldnt spray out a clump of oak leaves for some reason. I wasnt thinking clearly because I was enjoying a couple of beers at the time but I reached in with my hand and grabbed the clump of leaves and began to pull it out when it felt like i was getting shocked with low voltage electricity. At that precise moment I realized with sudden clarity I had just grabbed a black widow web which is so strong they can probably hold a tennis shoe. I yelped like a bitch and yanked my hand out of there and didnt see any widow. I waited for the sun to go down because they dont come out until dark to work their webs. With flashlight in hand I spotted her.....largest BW i had ever seen and it made my skin crawl. I nearly emptied a can of wasp spray.....

I use the vacuum with the hose attachment. Sucks em right into the tank. Not one has ever escaped (maybe no oxygen?).

Nice and tidy execution.

This is what a good exterminator should do. Suck up visible webs egg sacks in nooks and crannies then take to a burn pit and humanely return to nature
