So I'm generally not afraid of arachnids but we've had a bumper crop of black widows hanging out on our back patio for a bit. I asked hubby to relocate the ones living on my zero-g chair and the heater and table next to it but he didn't see them until tonight (since that's when they come out). He has to get up at 3 for work and will be gone for nearly 3 days so I asked about it again. He was out just now in the backyard & patio naked, smoking, and relocating widows 😆 Should have gotten video!!
@Embers I'm not generally bothered by spiders either, but ooof. Widows are not to be trifled with.
@Apocryphiliac They're gorgeous spiders and usually not deadly but I have enough medical issues that what might not kill a healthier person could probably do me in. I also worry about one getting in the house and one or more of my cats pouncing it and getting bitten...since they're much smaller than humans it *would* kill them. This was under my chair.
@Apocryphiliac The reason I prefer he does it is am always afraid I'll squish them and he's really good at not squishing them.
@Embers that’s amazing constraint On your part. I don’t usually kill spiders, but I’d draw the line at ones that would have a potentially lethal bite. 😳
Be safe!
@Apocryphiliac To prove it I just accidentally squished one trying to relocate it using the Webster 😣 Either he missed the one under my chair or there was another quickly rebuilding the web hubby got rid of. I truly wasn't trying to kill it damn it!! 😪
