Here's a cheery thought: did you know that, at any given time, odds are great that you are no more than six feet away from a spider? Have a nice day!

Be very careful about a brown recluse spider this time of year Kristy. I googled this.
• If you see what you believe is a brown recluse spider, save the spider (dead or alive) for identification by the Recluse Community Project at KU or your county extension agent. It is best to use a plastic or glass container filled with alcohol -- not water. On the container, mark the time and date and where the spider was found.

• If you are bitten by a brown recluse spider, apply ice to the area and elevate it. Seek medical attention immediately.

• Not all brown recluse spiders can be identified by a violin/fiddle mark on their body. Many brown recluses don't have this distinguishing feature, while several other types of spiders do have a violin-shaped mark.

• Sticky traps are among the easiest and most effective ways to catch brown recluse spiders in your home. For a list of the most effective products, visit the Recluse Community Project Web site, people.ku.edu/~spidermn/reclusecommunity/recluseproject.html.

•æVacuuming empty brown recluse webs only causes the spider to search around your house for another area to start a new web. Sandidge said most people get bitten by a brown recluse spider during or shortly after cleaning their house.

• Examine outer and inner walls of your home and caulk all holes, cracks or crevices that spiders may use to enter your home, hide in or leave egg sacs.

• Keep furniture away from walls; they provide the easiest route up and around things.

• Remove bed skirts, and keep sheets from touching the floor.

• Do not leave clothes lying on the floor.

• Shake out shoes, clothes and hats before putting them on.

• When in the garage or attic, use gloves to move boxes. (Remember to shake out or step on gloves before putting them on.)

• If moving boxes into the main part of the house, take the box outside and inspect it first, using gloves.

• Clean up junk lying around in various places.

• Do not stack wood or create piles of rocks, bricks or other building materials close to your house. This will also reduce the probability of having another medically significant spider, the black widow.

• Increase the humidity and decrease the temperature in your house; brown recluse spiders prefer it hot and dry.

I HATE SPIDERS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY! AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH

I hate spiders. They literally make me scream. Glad you terminated 3 of them.

Have a fantastic weekend! I killed a spider yesterday and Sarge was really disappointed. I used to catch them and let them outside but with the cats, I don't want to risk them getting bit. Strange how that motherly instinct kicks in, huh?

Aw, poor spiders. Have an awesome weekend!!

Be careful sweetie.

I hope you have a great weekend!!!!

There's a great line from the movie "Annie Hall". Dianne Keaton calls Woody Allen over to her apartment to take care of a spider in her bathtub. When he kills it, she screams at him for being so cruel. He responds with, "You called me over because there's a spider the size of a Buick in your bathtub. So I killed it! I didn't know that you wanted me to capture and rehabilitate it!"
Have a GREAT Memorial Day Weekend, kid!
