A spider that predominates in this part of the US is the hobo spider. The are huge, aggressive, outstandingly fast runners, have necrotizing venom, and are notorious among exterminators for being hard to kill. More than one exterminating company has advised us not to try to nab them with the vacuum cleaner: "It only makes them mad!" Time in the vacuum wont kill them, and they'll move heaven and earth to get you when you change the bag-empty the canister.

We caught one once, and kept it in a jar, sealed up tight and with no food source, for four weeks. If we left it alone, it sat still. If we made a move toward the jar, it would move toward the glbutt. We became so uncomfortable with its longevity that we finally terminated it by putting it in the freezer -- a method recommended by exterminators.

Sheldon Actually, that's true and not true. LOL In a grocery store (yes, grocery stores do employ butchers) they are required to clean the grinder between...

We also have black widow and yellow sac spiders here. Yellow sac bites are necrotizing too, just like hobos and brown recluses. Widows are another matter. It's a good thing that black widows tend to be shy. I have several black widow webs in my garage and window wells, and I'm glad that their spinners are content to stay in their hiding places and avoid confrontation.
