Azalar Hex Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 So I got another spider in my apartment. Managed to catch it in a tea bottle, as I often manage to do with spiders. I was wondering if anyone here might be able to figure out what this thing is based on this very blurry picture I took of it inside its tea bottle prison. The only other defining feature is a white dot around the middle of the back where you'd normally see the "hourglass" on a black widow. This little bastard is aggressive. It's constantly coming at me with its front two legs raised. Little fucker has some huge fangs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalar Hex Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 He's kinda cute I hate to say this but I kinda agree with you. He's rushing me up the side of the tea bottle and flipping onto his back. Keeps waving those legs and dancing around like he wants to mess me right the F up. Got a "better" picture of the spot. He'll be less cute when the rest of his family shows up later tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your house is lost. Tell the insurance company it was a spider-induced electrical fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalar Hex Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yeah, after obsessively holding the bottle up to the light I could make out a distinct pattern on the little guy's back. Jumping spider. I would put it outside, but it'll just come right back in here. I feel bad watching it slowly die inside this bottle, but I ain't opening it. Hell no.

NaBarney Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 They're harmless and always seemed to be to be particularly intelligent (but that could just be because they are easy to anthropomorphize since they're so cute) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalar Hex Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Well I took the bottle out to the dumpster and let him out on top of it. I'm a damn wuss and he's gonna come right back in here and bite my fucking eyeball in my sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death_by_motorboat Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 If you have indoor spiders you should just spray the perimeters and openings, in and under and behind all around everything you use personally, door jams, window frames, cupboards, cracks, holes, ceiling, walls.... all with home and garden supplies from the store. Let me tell you why. They will respect your perimeter by instinct and their senses, warn the colony, and the reason is because there must also be centipedes, and other basement and crevis dwellers. The remainder of the bugs will kill each other trying to survive. Dont put edible poisons out for rats or mice. If you have cockroaches or anything worse just Repeat the process a couple times and make sure you are not missing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death_by_motorboat Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Extermination could take months. If you have a 6 month spray and you kill the majority within a couple weeks they'll stay gone, but you have to Spray literally everything. If you take it slowly it Can be done long term but either way get used To critters being there for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
