As I said earlier the important thing is to destroy the egg sacs, and they are easier to find. The female only lives a year.

My friend got bit in the middle of his back, after it healed, he got a brown recluse tattoo next to it.

LOL....that was a really cute idea!!!

I hate spiders!

We spray Tempo around the outside foundation of the house and used to the barn. But with the addition of Guineas, i am hoping we wont have to do those buildings.

Luckily we dont have poisonous spiders or snakes in ND. Only Western ND had rattlers.

I, too, have Black Widows around my home, especially in the wood pile. I was thinking about my girls. Since the spiders have a "poison sack" (I guess), would they poison the chickens if eaten? What would happen to the chicken if she were bitten while eating the spider? Sorry if this sounds silly, but I do wonder if this could be a problem.
Thanks is advance.
