[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 154482, member: 179"] OMG!! We have lots of black widows here. I'm sorry...but they get heavily sprayed with whatever I can quickly grab. I'm surprised they can eat them. Funny story about scorpions. When I lived in FL, they were quite prevelant. I remember seeing one cross my stove. I lit that thing up and burned him right on the grill. But, the kicker was my ex. He bolted out of bed one night, threw off all the covers and said something stung him. I'm thinking he just had a bad nightmare. Nope...there was a little scorpion crawling in the middle of the bed. Now, I don't know anything about them. So, I call poison control. They had me describe it, and basically it was a type that is not particularly harmful, just more like a powerful bee sting. Called our pest guy. How can we have these things in our house? He came out sprayed again...next night, it happens AGAIN to ex. Pest guy comes out again and finally figures it out. They had a 'nest' (don't know what you call a scorpion colony) in our attic and were dropping down through our ventilation system, which was right above where ex slept. So, they nuked our attic. Ex, to this day thinks I was trying to kill him. ;) (Yeah...like I'd put one of those things in the same bed I was sharing.) What does he think? I'm keeping them in a jar next to the bed just waiting for the right moment? Abbey [/QUOTE]
