[kwillia]

enomous spiders found in the United States include the black widow, brown recluse and hobo spiders. They can be dangerous to adults and children who spend time outside. These spiders occasionally find their way inside structures or buildings and can present a serious risk.

Please note they also list spiders that are your friend! You don't want to kill all spiders...

No manmade pesticide or trap is more effective against a population of harmful insects than a family of spiders. They deserve better recognition for the work they do.

I remember watching an episode of "Invaded!" where a family was trying to rid their house of a nasty species of spider. They bug-bombed the entire house which ended up killing a bunch of the good spiders. This allowed the bad spiders to completely take over the house because prior to the bombing the good spiders had been working hard to keep the population of the bad spiders down.

The bites from brown recluse look wicked!

Any spider I see, dies.
