Black Widow Massacre!

in Infertility

OMG! So I was cleaning up some weeds and leaves in the backyard getting ready for our annual BBQ and as I was picking up leaves under the wooden bench I reached into an area with THOUSANDS of newly hatched little baby black widows! 

I screamed, ran into the house and grabbed the raid and then as I was killing them all ran into momma! She was huge! I got her too though. I am still creeped out! I keep checking myself for bites! yuck!

    I'm not a big scary movie fan and that's what I was thinking based on your title, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to open this... But good job on killing them. I would be so grossed out and keep "feeling" them crawling on me. Hope you didn't get bit.

    Ahhhhh, so scary.  I know just how you feel.  We killed a brown recluse in our complex's laundry room last night (with Shout!  lol) and I felt crawly until I showered.

    That would be a great title for a scary movie!!  I am pretty sure no bites, but I am still a bit nervous

    I'm crediting the H with the Shout save.  I was maybe on top of the washing machine.
