Fucking Hobo Spiders!!!

Little bastards are attacking in swarms from now until November (it's their mating season). It's because of these little bastards that I now have arachnophobia. Killed three of them running around my apartment yesterday, plus I have bushes outside that HAVE to be filled with webs and egg cases. Thinking about poisoning the bushes with gasoline or something else (suggestions?).

Anyone else get to have the pleasure of dealing with them or brown recluses?

If you live in these states you get to have hobo spider fun: Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.

If you live these states you get to deal with brown recluses (just as bad): Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

Their bites cause necrotic arachnidism
