I was working under a multi-unit duplex complex once, re-plumbing the place, when I looked up at the bottom of the floorboards in the light of the flashlight to realize that an egg sack must have just hatched; there were little black spiders everywhere! I taped off all the vents and tossed four bombs in, and left for a long lunch.

Yeah, I've got a few "pets" around the house, that I pretty much just leave alone for insect control (or because it doesn't hurt to have them around - why bother them), but I've a healthy respect for something that can crawl under my collar and kill me!

But as much as I respect the Black Widow, it's the Brown recluse that worries me the most; the affects of their venom can be like an attack of a flesh-eating bacteria!
