I've had my share of spider bites,the brown garden spider may be harmless but the sucker has a mean bite-been bitten at least 3 times on several occasions.
Survived a black widow bite-nasty as hell.
WE have a spider problem in my area,outside-inside-they're all over the place.

All spiders are venomous, but only the brown recluse and black widow in the States can cause severe reaction in humans (unless you have reactions to spider bites in general). That won't stop them from hurting and itching like heck, though, no matter the type of spider.

When I lived in Nevada I once came home from work only to discover that a HUGE, pregnant black widow had made a web across the front door. She was hanging in it upside down (you know like they do--hourglass facing out) just daring me to open the door. She probably thought she'd make the catch of her life!

I saw a very weird spider today... never seen one like this before... it is tiny, about the size of a thumbtack head... and on it's back (if you can call it that) is a flat shell like thing. Looks like a shield. It has 6 points sticking out of the side... orange, white and black.

anyone know what I am talking about? I thought it was a very tiny black crab at first. (the head and legs are black)

not only do i kill spiders... but i do it slowly... usually with fire or some corrosive chemical... they creep the shit outta me. And as for the "they eat all the other insects" argument... I could care less. I don't have any insect problems I just hate spiders... I found one in my bed once and moved all the furniture out of my room to check each piece for more spiders..

One of the good things about the UK is that we dont have insects with life threatening bites.
