    Found this black widow in the yard. Photographed her before moving her to a place away from housing. Third one I found this year.

    Maybe you should kill them and stop letting them breed.

    What sort of camera/lens did you use to get those crisp photos?

    My momma taught me that those things hide in dark places and KILL YOU if they bite you.

    Like venomous snakes and groundhogs, they are NOT on my "catch and release" list.

    :cornut: Adopt a family of frogs, toads, preying mantises, and birds. That should just about take care of the problem. If you adopt a family of spider wasps, you'll of course then have another problem. Can of Black Flag Wasp Spray with the 20ft sprayer in a quick draw holster is another good solution(so to speak:wink::D:lol:) :Thumbsup:

    not only black widows around here; now we have "brown widows" imported courtesy of the USAF- they first found them on base here and now they are supposed to be all over, how wonderful!

    I am glad venomous creatures seem to hate the cold.
    How do you go about moving such a creature?
