That is about the best way to kill a recluse they are called the dirty spider because they do not clean themselves. This makes pesticides useless against them. They thrive in moist areas with clutter. And are reported to eat cardboard. Makes me look at those old boxes in the attic differently. Sticky traps work also.

I was feeling generous [not the right word?] but I let him live on. If he was in my shop I might not be as forgiving.
I was going to ask if you burned the key pad to the ground or if it had bullet holes in it, but I guess not.
This big sucker was caught by some of my co-workers in Herriman

I am like most of you and hate spiders but I do think tarantulas are cool though and would let them live every time.

We spent the 4th at our place in Nevada and when I went out to the shop I found black widows had taken it over. Killed four big females in about 10 minutes. Sprayed the whole shop the next day and kept the kids out of it the whole time we were there just to be safe. I don't like those things...

All spiders in my world are considered to be "jumping spiders" until dead!
The second spider in the smaller hole, should be considered just as dangerous!

i would pass out, then a hoard of those would cover my body. I would awake, have a heart, attack and die.

Was re-reading this thread and saw this. It reminds me--one of my apartments in Italy had scorpions in it. We'd usually find one every week or two. While living there, I developed the habit of turning each shoe upside down before putting it on to check for any surprise contents... a habit I still have to this day.
