So for some reason this year I have black widows up the WAZOO. I dont know if its the drought or if someone is secretly making a horror movie in which I am the unwilling star. I just went outside to tuck in the girls and I killed like seven of them in various places around my yard. I cant even walk outside at night without knowing exactly where I am putting my feet. Does anybody know, can chickens eat a black widow and not get poisoned? Also I used to have Clark Pest Control but cancelled the service after I got chickens. Has anyone ever used Premetherin for spider control? I just used it to rid my coop of mites so I figured it would be safe to spray my yard and such with it, I just wasnt sure how effective it would be. Black widows are kind of tough. It took a 1/3of a can of hornets nest spray trying to get ONE spider down off of my porch.
