so, apparently I got a spider living in my FX...

[jc'sfx]

:err::err: .. that's quite disturbing .. this is me next time I see a spider :vroam:

 

[FXtion]

I'll be sleeping with one eye open from now on, since according to an article, the Brown Reluse spider is in 41% of the houses and it's active at night. But don't worry, it only bites as self defense or when it crawls into socks and other clothes.

Brown recluse's suck....DO NOT GET BIT BY THIS SPIDER... Look at the Violin Shape outline on its head.

Also for the California question... We do not have Brown Recluse's in California. http://spiders.ucr.edu/myth.html

 

[Dr.2K]

Do we have those here in Socal?

The brown recluse spider is native to the United States from the southern Midwest south to the Gulf of Mexico .[2] The native range lies roughly south of a line from southeastern Nebraska through southern Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana to southwestern Ohio. In the southern states, it is native from central Texas to western Georgia. They are generally not found west of the Rocky Mountains.[3] A related species, the brown violin spider (Loxosceles rufescens), is found in Hawaii.[4] Despite many rumors to the contrary, the brown recluse spider has not established itself in California,[5] nor Canada[6]. There are other species of Loxosceles native to the southwestern part of the United States, including California, that may resemble the brown recluse, but these species have never been documented as medically significant.

Cool, thanks Alan. One less thing to worry about, lol. That bite picture was pretty nasty. How does someone let it get that far without any treatment is beyond me.

 

[asherchy]

i know three people that been bitten here in LA... one i watched from day two to 2 months later when it was finally better i would hope that the doctor knew enough to know what he was talking about...
and i lifted up a trashcan onset in simi valley and 1 came running out and someone said that it was a brown recluse after he smooshed the fock out of it

but maybe its some other nasty flesh killing spider

 

[MTN FX]

OMG!!! there are tons of pics of Brown Recluse bites online... I'm NOT going to post because they're pretty graphic!!

Dam and I was going to post them. LOL

 

[PELON]

[MASSIVE]

whats the safest way to fumigate your car from insects. I seem to have a ant problem. It all depends if i have a soda or candy in the car that they show up. From time to time that just happen to be there when i get in.

I want to make sure i get them with out hurting my 3 year old. don't need here to be breathing in anything that will hurt her or me.

Any help would be nice.
