Are you scared of Brown Recluse and Black Widow spiders?

I'm not that scared of Black Widows but the Brown Recluse scares me the most! :eek: Even though the recluse is not native here.
 
More "wary" than "scared". I leave them alone and they leave me alone. NAP with nature works sometimes. :cool:

Kinda random. but I kill black widows. I haven't seen a brown recluse and I live in Texas. Until they are endangered they are dead.
 
I'm scared of any spider. I'm scared of any mouse. I'm scared of any snake. I'm scared of any elevator.
 
I hate all spiders equally. I was bitten by a brown recluse as a kid.
 
Yeah I hate all spiders equally as well. I especially hate wolf spiders---they jump! :eek:

*my skin is crawling*
 
I'm definitely leery of black widows. My garage had a bunch of widow nests (at least 18) in it last summer, so I had to bug bomb. I'll probably need to bug bomb again this year.
 
No , I am not scared. I have only killed one widow on my current property .At my previous residence , I was bitten a multitude of times by Brown Recluse.Quite distasteful, the itching lasts for what seems yrs.
 
When I was a kid I was visiting my grandparents in so cal and my grandpa sent me out to the shed with wd40 to kill lack widows. I must have sprayed a 100 or more. That night I had the worst nightmare about blackwidows crawling in my bed. I still kill them if I see them and don't have nightmares. No brown recluse here in NV. But they are nasty
 
Anyone familiar with the also poisons Brown Widow spider, Latrodectus geometricus? My yard, shed, garage in N San Diego County is full of spiders. Mostly Brown Widows... maybe occasionally worried. Not scared. Way scarier shit out there than spiders.

I'm not scared of spiders at all, weird really, Snakes on the other hand terrify me.

I casually will sweep a spider off my arm, lol. No big deal. If I see a foot long snake by surprise, I'll probably shit myself.

I don't mind snakes. I don't like spiders. Luckily we don't have any dangerous spiders around here so I just don't give a fuck. But I hate it if I walk through a web or something.
 
Mr Animals best friend woke up one morning and his ass cheek was hurting. He tried to ignore it but it kept getting worse and a large black area appeared. When he finally went to the doctor, he was told it was a Brown Recluse bite and they cut off part of his ass cheek. :eek:
