It looked scary, so it had to die. The Wolf spiders I leave alone because I know they mean no harm, but this little bastard looked dangerous in my garage. What kind was it?

Brown Widow, I think. I could be wrong. I have been, before.
After looking at this, I think it may be an Orb Weaver. It appears to have spines on its legs.
I'd probly kill the shit out of it, if it was in my hut or dwelling.

Normal and harmless garden spider, ready to lay a couple thousand eggs. Good on you for killing her dead.
Strong work.

That particular common brown house spider EATS Brown Recluses.
Not kidding.
It's one of the good guys.

Dammit!
Gets more creepy. Last night as I come home and prepare to open my door...I see a shadow for some reason. Bust out the trusty iPhone flashlight and BAM! This big ol' sumbitch was waiting for me.
Needless to way, I went in the side door.

I'm with Marzy on the brown house spider...they are good ones...except they shit on everything that's under them and it's some more tenacious stuff to remove sometimes...
That's a big girl there...probably made a ton of babies (and they have been known to return to avenge their mothers death)

Have an aerosol spray of carb cleaner at the ready. Spray and literally watch them emulsify and die.

"She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. — To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing."

Mrs. Mike mentioned that there was a spider at the mailbox last week....I finally meandered out there and found a Black Widow
Guess who got stabbed to DEATH by a handcuff key???
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
She hates spiders and I would burn the earth down for her...so spiders die.

JD82, that one by your door looked like a Wolf Spider to me. They're big and scary, but not much of a threat. I'd leave it alone. (Now, in the bedroom would be a different matter--I'd try to catch it and put it outside.)

Now I know why Sherman burned everything along with he way. This message has been edited. Last edited by: cslinger,

I left the big Wolf spider alone. Figured he'd help with my Japanese beetle invasion, that, and I didn't have an AK on me at the time to battle him with. I don't think 9mm would have done the trick!
