The infamous California Barking Spider is ofttimes silent, but deadly.

From what I read they are both, but just blame the dog.

Just remember, if you see a spider there's not a problem.

If you see a spider, and you look again and it's not there...THERE'S A PROBLEM!!

Not silent or not deadly?

Not deadly as in there is no such spider, lol! Fart references and spider education don't mix, hehe.

I don't know.  I've heard of a barking spider clearing out an entire room.

Is that who keeps using up the shampoo? Or are spiders the ones who can't cap the toothpaste?  No they are the ones who leave dull razors on the edge of the tub.  IDK, maybe they just spread the soap scum.

Here is a link to information about the hobo spider: http://hobospider.org/

Here is a VERY good link to VENOMOUS spiders of the U.S.
http://www.venombyte.com/venom/spiders/venomous_spiders_by_state.asp
LOL... As if these links are something new to me and as if I haven't followed their recommendations  :laugh:

I still get bit and have to go to war with the hobo spider every year

The shower/bathtub is one place they do get trapped and can be easily disposed of, but how do they get in there?

Most often I catch them on open ground and granted they are kinda stupid and will freeze in place hoping you didn't see them  8)  Then it's fairly easy to grab them up in a tissue

But you only get one chance, if you miss they will run and hide and you will have to hope to catch them later or they run into one of the sticky traps where I catch several every year

LOL... Farty jokes to boot  :laugh:

I think the spiders are the ones who pee on the floor and the seat...can't be guys, they all deny it.

I used to catch hobo spiders when I lived in Spokane...put them in tumbler glasses (about 3" tall, wide and squatty)...the hobos can't climb on glass (or porcelain) and could only run around and around...


clack clackity clackity clack clack..... Plus, you get the added bonus of raising the glass and looking at their underneath bits...I'm fascinated with how the legs join the abdomen...

But damn, they are fast. Like was said earlier...you only get one chance.

Doctors remove spider hiding in woman's ear canal

A woman who went to China's Changsha Central Hospital complaining of itching in the left side of her head was told by doctors that the source of irritation was a spider that had been living inside her ear canal for five days.

Doctors reportedly used a saline solution to flush out the spider in order to avoid having the spider burrow deeper inside the canal or bite her.

The flushing technique was successful and the woman reportedly wept with gratitude after being told the spider was removed. Doctors say they believe the spider entered the woman's home while the home was undergoing renovations, and crawled into her ear while she was sleeping.

I was getting a HORRIBLE ear pain one night while trying to go to sleep. I finally got up and rinsed out my ear and a tiny spider came out.

The Red Back Spider is a Widow spider as is the New Zealand Katipo (rare),
Interesting that your Black Widow has the red spot on the underside instead of on top.
