Russ is correct! Black Widows are small and quite easy to exterminate ... or catch and keep in a big industrial Mayonnaise jar in the Drafting Department and name "Charlotte." Big Grin

Wolf spiders on the other hand ... I used to find them on the wall of my previous house, up by the ceiling (my daughter's cat could almost jump high enough to get them up there, but not quite.) They would have a leg-span of a good four or five inches and they could jump!!! I couldn't go to bed until I had terminated them ... they are scary! Big scary!! Confusedhock:

And yes, Brown Recluse ... got bitten by one of them my first day down here. My arm swelled up and the skin at the bite site, well, lets just say I have a strange-looking 1/8"D brown scar there.

We have gators, too, and wild hogs that tear up my lawn! I hate those big fat pigs!!! Pebble in rump from the sling shot usually sends them packing on their way without exciting the neighbbors with gun fire!

Then there are the scorpions ... found one in the flatware drawer in the kitchen ... caught him, put him in a jar, screwed the lid on tight ... took him several days to die1
