Spider expert needed

Don't worry about those things, i get them at my home in Idaho they loveee to hang around in like showers or enclosed area's with water. We just call them river spiders, they are really aggressive and chase you. but also easy to kill, and no in reality they are the size of a small car. I run screaming I'm not afraid of spiders but these bitches will eat me.

THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS. THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS ARE ALWAYS ON THE DOCK AT MY LAKE HOUSE AND THEY ARE HUGE AS FUCK AND I HATE THEM. FUCK THOSE SPIDERS.
 
I grew up in an area that has a bunch of black widows and that reallllly looks like one except the picture makes it look way bigger than black widows ever get. how big is it actually? i'm fairly certain that's a black widow and you probably need to get a pest expert to your place because black widows love dark garages adn where there's one, there usually a lot more. my last house had an infestation of black widows in the basement and it was so fucking sketchy. i refused to go down there unitl it was taken care of even though i had important stuff down there.

OP ain't got shit on this kid.
 
Ya I have killed dock spiders bigger than my hand up at my cottage. Pretty gnarly and the bite hurts like a bitch.
 
i think the scale is off on that picture, but the red hourglass type marking on the lower body is the black widow trademark
 
this thread now confirms how much I actually hate spiders. I mean I didn't think it was bad, but those fuckers are gross and officially creep me out
 
That is my uncle mark's photo! he said they were fighting in his tent. We have this picture that he sent us on our fridge
 
i tell those spiders, y u so nasty and shit and then they just look me straight in the eye, start crying and walk to their home back in the fucking dark forrest
 
Ugh those things always crawling near my feet and hiding in the canoe! I guess I just mean that I didn't realize so many big spiders lived in Canada, Hopefully there aren't any dangerous ones
 
me and my two friends were out in the middle of the lake on the boat, when one of these fuckers come out of no where under a seat or something and starts running across the gunnel right at my friend. i was driving and could not see the spider, and all i saw was my two friends start flipping a shit, one of them grabs a safety oar, and i couldnt hear what they were screaming cause we were going about 25 mph and it was really windy out. in that split second of watching them flip out screaming and grabbing oars, i figured the engine just fell off or some shit. next thing i know they are both smashing the spider on the side of the boat with the oars and i bring it down to an idle just in time to see the dead smashed up body of this thing fly off the side. i shit you not the body alone, without counting the legs, was the size of my palm. and ive got big hands. the only remaining part of the spider on the boat was one FOUR INCH LONG LEG. we measured it.

ive never been so traumatized.
 
im glad im going to the mountain right now where there isnt a single spider in sight, just snow

now that i think of it, i have NEVER seen a spider while ive been up skiing, not even in the trees during safety meetings. i figured id at least see a web or two in some branches.

 
Dude, I'm glad I live in Michigan. The only big spiders I have to deal with are wolf spiders. And I rarely ever see them anymore.
 
This thread is absolutely terrifying. When i was a kid i would do a spider check before i went to bed to make sure there wasn't any visible spiders... although i still do it every now and then..
 
How do u think I feel. I had seen that spider a few times in my garage. But didnt make anything of it. I parked my bike right next to it every day. Saw this thread and thought id take a closer look and see what NS thought it was....

Black widow. Deadly spider, usually not alone.... great.
 
Not worth risking the bite. Get a pest control guy out there cuz there's probably more than one. They congregate in dark places.
 
Couldnt let it live. I killed it. Put it in a ziplock bag. Then put the bag in another bag. Pest control is on their way to look for more.
 
Pic was taken in Burlington Vermont! :O And to FlyingSqurrel: those things can swim, It could still be hanging around
 
I lost.

But I think those are wolf spiders, I remember them from a while back, but anyways they aren't poisonous at all and most likely won't ever bother you, unless you come too close, then they will charge. Like literally CHARGE you, really scary, but just don't bother them and they won't bother you. Oh yeah and shake out anything like a blanket or clothes that is on the ground.
 
Actually might not be a black widow. There are many species of spider that are "black widow look alikes". Usually black widows have all black legs and this one seems to also have a lighter color on it's legs.
 
alright to everyone saying its a black widow, im pretty positive its not.

a black widow looks like fucking THIS

google that shit. theres many clues in the pic that tell you its not what you have. also black widows are freakin small, they dont get big at all.

To OP it's not a Hobo spider youd be fucked. Period :P and yeah its prolly a Wolf spider. I used to have em in my old house as well (which was also brand new when we moved in, maybe its something about new houses?...) although yours (the spiders) seem to be a bit bigger than mine but on a few occasions i did see a couple of those biggercocksuckers. Also i noticed they have a hard time climbing shit. By that i mean it can climb up stairs n shit (like straight up wall of carpet) but its fucked if it needs to escape vertically via a normal painted wall. lol when i discovered this it made me feel 100 times safer in bed. :P Getting totally rid of em took about 3 years. Every time i would see one id call red alert, hunt it down, and kill it with a minihockey stick. Someone Else mentioned there seasonal and i totally agree with that. They seemed to come in waves. My basement was like a long term game of tower defence lol. I was never bit by one of em (at least i dont think) they are pussies but they freaked the fuck out of em. After about a year of killing em every time i saw one, their numbers started to dwindle down significantly to the point where id only find one every month or so and that lasted for the remainder of the 2 years. I lived in my house a total of 4 years and the last year and a half id say that i didn't see a single one.

hopefully this helps :P...sorry for any spelling im not re-reading this shit.
 
true, but black widows can have legs that aren't all black as well. false black widows have much larger abdomens.
 
It's nothing to worry about, if it was a Hobo spider that would suck, those things are sketchy. Brown Recluses too, sketch. I've heard of people getting sick for weeks after getting bit by a Hobo Spider in Utah
 
we had actual black widows in my house for the first 3-4 years after building it, i remember my parents warning me to stay the fuck away and to tell them if I ever saw one

fuck spiders
 
I think they come in in the fall. WHen it gets colder, I didnt see them at all this winter. I started to clean my room with javel and sprayed the corners and my window frames. There was a web in my window, i couldnt see it because I always have my blinds covering it. it was really big , **must always check windows now
