When I go to the Bahamas I always bring back some good old fashion DDT.
It just so happens I'm a breeder of Black, Brown and Red widow Spiders for hobby.
Yes its true Black Widows does not kill most people, when I move them they roll up and play dead. But if you live in South Florida you may see the one that will stop your heart and this is the Red Widow. I have one in front of me right now, so pretty she is.
They live in only one place on the whole of earth and that’s here, Southern Florida.
If they have an egg sack, they will bite and bump about the same stopping power as 10 Rattle Snakes. The Black Widow is like 100 Fire ant bites. I was moving a Reds egg sack for hatching and the bitch ran up the scissors and gave me a kiss on my arm. Krissy drove me to an ER with a line of people even gun shot victims and they rushed me past them all.
They flew in some anti-venom from Orlando and this cost me $3.00 because I have insurance. Hehehehehe must of cost tens of thousand bucks.
It will never happen again……
**** when we were kids we would go around the scrub line and twist them up in a stick and kill them.
Now I provide the State of Florida with hundreds of pods for their reintroduction to the scrubs.
The web of these little girls is mostly funnel shaped and they hang out on the bottom.
On the other hand we have the Brown Recluse that will mess you up big time and they live in lots of Florida cars. They sometimes drop from behind the visor as you drive.
Now this is heart stopping. If you see a widow clap a clean jar over it, give her a twig or two and a fly once a week and you have a new pet that freaks people out.
WARNING, if she makes a pod you must remove and flush it. The babies are in the hundreds and can exit through the tiny air holes in the lid.
Once a widow does the wild thing she can make baby pods for months.
When I find who stole my car for those 3 hours you can bet I will flick about 10 pods in their area.
But since they are Red Widows and not a non native it’s not a crime.
I don’t think…
