Ok, so I found a black widow in my yard with an egg sac. I'm a huge arachnaphobe, what should I do? How worried should I be?
>> Anonymous
1: Buy nice, big can of spider-kill.
2: Step close, but still about a foot or so away (or two)
3: SPRAY LIKE HELL.
4: Keep going for a good minute, wave it around the general area.

This also works with Febreeze, hairspray, or other household spray-cans. Or you can get some Axe and a lighter and have fun.
As a fellow 'phobe, I can feel for you.

You should either

A. Kill the spider & put the egg sac somewhere FAR FAR away from where you live.
or
B. Move the spider far away & destroy the egg
sac.
or
C. Kill off both.

Leave it the fuck alone. If you leave it alone, it will have its babies in peace, and they will scatter. It's good that you are aware of the spiders being there, so if somehow you manage to be a retard and get bitten, you know what to tell the hospital.

It's not a huge deal, leave the spider alone, and quit being such a faggot.

Despite that guy being an asshole, he's right, it's probably best just to leave the thing alone. As long as you stay away, you're not really in any danger. Web weaving spiders tend not to move around as much as spiders that go out and hunt for prey. Just be smart and you'll be fine.

Honestly, even if the thing bit you I don't think you need to be worried more than any other spider. Brown recluses are the sons of bitches you have to watch out for. Little brown fuckers bite you and your skin rots. If the widow bothers you mentally though then kill it.

The reason I ask is because recently I was in another part of town and saw, I shit you not, TWELVE black widows on the same wall. So I was wondering if that was normal of if I just saw something really weird.

I don't see a single reason to keep the spiders alive, particularly if you are an aracnaphobe. Other spiders can do the job, its not like killing them will have some hideous effect on the other-bug population. I kill all the spiders I see, its not like I'm overrun with other nasties.

Black widows are faster than they look, and can get pretty aggressive. My brother's room somehow got one in it and when we assaulted it with the vacuum, the thing turned around and RAN at us before getting sucked up.

Kill it with fire.

Stick the egg sac in your urethra and incubate it. The resulting hatchlings will be of a human hybrid and obey only your command.

I grew up in an area ripe with Black Widows, as did my boss at work (In the Rogue Valley, Oregon) I have had the spiders inches from my fingers without knowing it and came away without being bitten. They are not that aggressive! Just like every other spider they only bite when feeling threatened. Even if you are bitten it is not that poisonous, my boss was bitten about 3 times and only got slightly sick. If I were you I would leave the spider alone, but then again I am not you. Either way I suggest leaving it alone, as with all spiders it eats pesky good for nothing insects.

If you are large a black widow bite will probably not harm you.

If you are 100lbs or less then kill it, you are too puny to weather it's venom.

Yes, there's some type of tropical spider that makes a communal web.

This is exactly why I encourage funnel web and k. hibernalis spiders to live in my shop. They directly compete with both widows and recluses, and they're nice and big so I know where they are, and as a bonus they're easier to take pictures of. I haven't seen a widow or a brown recluse for as long as I've had these. The only downside is that they make a ton of webs, and metal dust and dead craneflies get stuck in them.

Catch the spider in a jar and let the bitch suffocate, take the eggs in a jar and put them in you enemy's mailbox FAR AWAY, and make sure you avoid that person like the plague.

OP here:

Ok, so remember how I mentioned that wall of black widows? Turns out one bit me, not as bad as I thought, mostly just stomach pains, sweat, and pain in my feet.

As for the one in my yard? I have no idea where the fucker went, but I torched its web despite it not being there.

Well, I'm tired and not going to read the whole thread, so I'm probably repeating what's already been said.

I, personally, like spiders, but if you're really that afraid of them, it might make you feel better to try and destroy the web. But it's also important for you to know that the reputation of the Black Widow is mostly undeserved; they have killed many people in the past, but it was because they make their homes in typically unhygenic places--think outhouses. Thus, people were bitten in awkward, painful, sensitive places, and the poison had a greater effect.

So frankly, I'd leave them alone; it's better to not provoke them. But as I said, remember that you are the better creature; in the animal world, if those spiders had been in the territory of another, they'd have been killed. Even in the rules of the 'animal' world, it is well within your rights to destroy the web.
