Spiders

Anybody else notice there seems to be alot of spiders this spring? Anybody know of anything to spray to get them to leave or to kill them?

The product Tempo works well on just about any insect/arachnid. Check at a local ag center for the product. It will not be cheap. $40-50 per pint but is mixed with water in milliliters per gallon. Will last a very long time.

…as long as they are outside I’m cool with them but when they are inside (like this Wolf Spider last week…) I get slightly “girly”…RR

After all these years on-line, I never knew that about you Rooster!

I haven’t seen that many spiders, but the tick population isn’t hurting. I always thought ticks needed grass. Trust me on this, they like gravel as well!

Over two weeks ago I sprinkled some tick/spider killer/repellent around my camper because anytime I walked around my boat I had ticks.
FW was getting tired picking them off me.

Yup Brian! My main threats in life are AIS and SPIDERS!!!

I’m a girl when it comes to snakes and spiders. There, I admitted it. Even a baby garter snake will make me run the other way.

If you look at the pictures…. they always have an evil eye watching you, glowing and peering deep into our souls…

And I hear the only way to truly get rid of spiders is fire… So burning the house down is the only choice I see here…

For me it depends on the snake or the spider and I take great joy in burning ticks. I’ll heat them the extra 10 seconds just to see them pop. I miss jumping spiders. I like those little buggers, but even then rice sized ones can tag you and you’ll feel it.

empo WP (a.i. Cyfluthrin 10%): This wettable powder pyrethroid concentrate is used by restaurants and pest control companies for broad spectrum control of crawling, flying and wood-infesting insect pests for indoor and outdoor surfaces. Is also used to eliminate insect pests of trees, landscape ornamentals and residential and commercial lawns. Tempo is also labeled for spraying in restaurants and commercial food handling areas. The wettable powder formulation gives three months or more residual for controlling the following indoor pests: ants, bedbugs, boxelder bugs, carpet beetle, centipedes, roaches (American, Asian, German, Oriental, brown-banded and smoky brown), crickets, darkling beetles, earwigs, firebrats, millipedes, pillbugs, silverfish, sowbugs, pantry and stored-product pests and flying pests, as well as many other wood infesting and outdoor/ perimeter pests. The #1 choice for treating the exterior and interior of structures for lady bug (lady beetle) infestations.

Peppermint oil and witchhazel mixed in water and sprayed around baseboards and outside of house.Works great.

I’m not concerned about spiders up north where they are not poisonous. It’s those darn mosquito’s, black flies, deer flies, horse flies and ticks that bother me.

I use Tempo to spray my house when all the ladybugs and box elders arrive. Works great…

Len, that a Moccasin lower left? Rat snake upper right? Orb Spider upper left?

…and a WTF SPIDER lower right?

I think I’ve seen a Orb spider once in my life almost running into it walking to a stream. Man, those are big too, but for some reason I was more fascinated than scared/grossed out by the size. Could have been his hypnotic web.

I like bugs and critters, and I have been fascinated with them since I was a kid! Everyone else in my office has some phobia of either snakes, spiders, mice… I just don’t get it. I don’t have a phobia of any bugs or critters. In fact, while at a bird aviary I once stuck my arm in elbow-deep into a bucket of wormy maggots (for feeding the birds). The staff lady had a horrified looked on her face when she said to me that there’s a scoop for that. Billy looked grossed out as well, and I’m over here with a handful of squirmy maggots thinking why WOULDN’T I want to stick my hand in this bucket?! I have that same urge at bait shops too – sticking my hands in the bait tanks, particularly the leech tank. I’m an odd duck.

Although, I must say I really don’t like ticks. And to my otherwise bug-loving defense, they’re not bugs, they’re parasites. Eew.

The perfect spider elimination tool for an outdoorsman…

I’m kind of the same way Sharon. A couple friends and I were shore fishing on Pool 2 many years ago and I ran across a Fox Snake on the walking path. My friends were about 15 minutes behind me so I picked up the snake and put it in a minnow bucket I had. My friends showed up and I said I found something cool, look in the minnow bucket! My one buddy almost jumped out of his shoes as he swung the flap door open expecting a small frog or toad. He then screamed at me, “what would possess you to pick that thing up, let alone put it in a bucket!”. I nonchalantly said, I thought it was cool, and thought you guys would like to see it.
I will admit one thing that kind of spooked me was a mother spider that carries her young babies on her back. We were hanging out in my sister’s garage having a few brews and a spider darted out from under the fridge so I stepped on it. The next thing we knew there were dozens of miniature spiders running all over the place. Needless to say there were a few women and men standing on chairs until the offspring were under control. I never thought one spider could have so many young ones on her back.

Len, that a Moccasin lower left? Northern Water Snake

Rat snake upper right? Gopher Snake

Orb Spider upper left? Garden Spider

…and a WTF SPIDER lower right? Fishing Spider

So I got an F…Dang Common Core quizzes.

Now that I see the fishing spider blown up I would have guessed it…or maybe not since its eating a butterfly instead of a minnow. The thumbnail its abdomen looked rounder.

Thanks for the pictures, it reminds me I need to slow down and start taking more macro pictures again.

Look at this spider…ok crab. Len, I suspect you have a good eye like me for seeing things others pass by.

Sorry /Unhijack
