They make a spider bomb you can set off in your garage thats supposed to kill or chase away all spiders. But I dont know how well they work.

I live in Illinois. If any of you have ever been to Illinois, you'll see one of two things as far as the eye can see: bean fields or corn fields. Its hard to escape the corn fields. I live right on the edge of one. We get TONS of wolf spiders, but I've never seen and black widow. Im surprised I don't see black widows in the summer. It gets really hot and really humid in the summers. We also have to worry about brown recluse up in the attics. Haven't seen one yet.

I live in the small hills part, about 55 miles directly north of Nashville, Tn.

Just a little fun fact for you.  Daddy longlegs are not spiders.  They are arachnids (8 legs) but not spiders.  Scorpions also fall into this category.  Spiders have distinct heads and bodies, where the two parts of a daddy longlegs are attached in such a way that they appear to just be one oval.  Also, daddy longlegs have no venom glands .

Once you are bitten by a brown recluse you will never be the same.

I was playing in a barn in Missouri @ age 12 & somehow one bit my ear.

After a day & a half it turned a nasty purple (um maybe it was dieing tissue?), started crusting over & after visiting urgent care they gave me some weird injection of an antibiotic of some sort & then drained the bite.

From that day forward I made sure to stay inside & play video games  8)
