Judy - from what I heard, everybody down there has their place sprayed regularly. Don't worry too much though ... the lizzards eat a lot of the bugs and the scorpions kill a lot of spiders.

C'mon, whats all the fuss here. I love all these creepy crawlers and we dont have anymore bugs than other states. One spider we do have alot of is brown widows, you can tell easy by the egg sacs they have.

The sacs look like a tiny spiny ball. The spider also has the hour glass on its abdomen. Brown recluses are extremely rare here in Florida. Lowes or Home depot carries a spray called spider killer, its very effective if you chose to kill them.

I'll be surprised if I don't have nightmares just from reading this thread. What am I THINKING?? If I click on one of those links, somebody better have a defibrillator.

Should of been at my house about 3 weeks ago. I spotted a spider on patio belly up and sure enough it was a brown widow. So I pick it up with my fingers and put it on the table to take pics. Well no sooner than did I lay it down it started to crawl away.

Guess the cold made it semi dormant but that would make you jump. I will have to post some pics the next time, I had no idea that there are so many people here that like these critters like me.

I don't like ANY spider. Probably because my older brother used to catch the BIG barn spiders (we called them) on a pitchfork. He didn't stick the tine thru them - just carried them on the pitchfork and chased me and my younger brother Now that will put the fear of you know who in you.

My cousin and I also captured a black widow spider in AZ. What a riot that was No thanks, I am not going to ever like them. We have all kinds (not every kind) where I live as well. In the bathtub, basement, you name it.
