Eventually it moved i ran out of my room looking for some bug spray or something but i couldnt find any and when i went back to my room he was gone so i tore my room apart looking for it and then when i found it i sprayed it with lysol until it drowned then flushed it....it was so scary to be trapped in my room by a spider, i was 30 mins late for work but i couldnt leave him there to make a nest in my bed. My boss thought it was the funniest story ever...me...not so much

LOL I think that that story is so funny! Especially when you kill it by drowning it in Lysol! I bet your room smelled pretty nice for a long time afterwards!

When I was in grade 5 (back in Taiwan), one night, my father and I were watching TV in our living room. It was the commercial break so we sorta stretched a bit and had some water. While I stretched, I arched to my left and I saw this thing on the wall. With its legs ******, it can cover 1/4 of a 16" computer monitor. It was that BIG! I paused, and I said to my dad...

"uumm... is that what I think it is?"

When we came out of shock, we realised we had this huge *** spider on our wall! I love to see spiders (I went to ROM to see their spider show a few years back) but I can't get near them. My dad somehow slapped it with a shoe and called it a night.

My grandpa on the other hand, one time, slapped this spider (black widow as I recall him telling me) and little did he know, it was a female. And once the *** was slapped, the little ones came out, like you wouldn't believe...

Gah that picture freaked me out man, I get chills when I see spiders, when I was like 13, I was puttin on my PJs in my bedroom and I felt a little tingle on my back so I scratched my back and there was like 3 little spiders on my hand. I was like WTF, I looked up and there was like 10,000 spiders on my ceiling! We had to quarantine my room for a few days, turn out the spiders laid eggs behind my posters and picture frames, then they all hatched and stuck to my stucco ceiling. Freaky.....

yep exact same thing happened to me... I guess if it happened to your produce also, it probably happens allot..im sure there are lots of BW's in ontario...but after all they are small creatures so they wouldnt turn up often enough to consider it a problem...

You spelled too wrong, you put "tool", unless your implying that he is a tool of the man, or something. Go new ciriculum!

for the girls.... hair spray, body spray, lysol, whatever.... mostly flammable and with a lighter they make a great torch... first you soak the "subject" with the solution, then torch it! Fun for the whole family!

Bruno, you get the newspaper? Look at the back of the front page on the bottom, quiet funny how these little folks are popping up.

Theres an article saying how another black widow was found somewhere, don't exactly remember but there has been a few cases already reported. They say that they take them to some place and feed them fruit flies!
