- NEW!

Sounds scary but not serious. The scary black spider is the Black Widow, which is mostly a southeastern pest. It has red markings and obnoxious venom. This one doesn't sound like a black widow. So that makes it one of the other spiders that is scary looking as can be, but relatively harmless (I am assuming you're a U.S. resident - there are other nasty spiders in other countries beside widow and recluse, which are our problem).
Remember - a squished spider is still scary and icky. But if cleaned up properly is no longer a problem.
How can I put diatomaceous earth on the outside of my hose to kill spiders outside of 2nd story windows?

We keep getting spiders in our apt. Tonight we had a gigantic one. What type of poison can I use to kill them without harming my cats?

We have recently moved into an old house that was empty for almost 5 years. How can I get rid of the millions of spiders?

You're reading Spider help! Black, fat body, white heart shape in middle of body w/2 small white dots by it's butt. Two white lines on underside of body. Large head. Two bright green fangs. Scary and icky looking. Maybe not quite an inch long total. Any ideas?

The spider was in michigan, but could've come in a box from chicago. I wasn't thinking it was a black widow or anything dangerous, I think daddy long legs are scary and icky! lol Just wondering what kind it was. Always curious about spiders I haven't seen before.

Unfortunately you are right that any type can be shipped in from anywhere. My knowledge of spiders is very limited and I think it's kind of hard to identify ones that aren't notorious criminals.(:
Those daddy long legs fellows are something else. For years I judged whether to be afraid of a spider on how big it was...oops!
