One way to harmlessly (i.e. no poisons) to rid your house of Brown Recluse and Black Widow Spiders is to get some Daddy Long Legs. Yes, I am serious, they will eat the other spiders. They have a venom that is more deadly than either the Brown Recluse or the Black Widow, BUT their mouth parts are too small to pierce even human skin. A house with a few Daddy Long Legs will NEVER have the other spiders. My daughter actually "borrowed" some from me to get rid of the black widows so her ferrets would be safe. They only eat other insects and I would rather have a few cobwebs and NO dangerous spiders... The Ferret Grandma.. [Posted in FML issue 3139]
